This is the bloke who is the main man for Eddie Davies's Trust.
To simplify the position as far as I understand it Eddie Davies provided £7.5m worth of bridging loans to Anderson on his personal security (and on his wife and her security too - as much of it is in joint ownership).
Anderson either has not got it to return and risks losing his yacht/Monaco home/collection of classic tank tops/etc, or has got it but doesn't want to pay it back (we don't know his side of the story to be fair).
Mr Gordon working on behalf of the trustees (who I guess probably are mainly Eddies family?) seem to want all the money back.
Anderson wants a deal that he will let the sale go through of the club if they (EDT) indemnify him against future civil action against him - or in other words if he doesn't pay the money back they can't take him to court to make him pay.
Eddie's family are allegedly not big supporters of BWFC and by all accounts don't live a millionaire lifestyle you might have expected from someone who was once as rich as Eddie before he wrote off over £200m on the club.
Ken is fighting to save himself £7.5m - whatever people think of him I can understand not wanting to lose £7.5m if he can avoid it which is almost certainly far more than anything most reasonable people calculate he's ever taken out of the club - think more like £2m I would suggest.
Anderson has been treated like shit by most people since he took over the club, so he's hardly likely to roll over and let Kier Gordon tickle his tummy.
Maybe something can be agreed between £2m and £5.5m - otherwise things are looking grim for the club.
The problem though is neither side seems to have an interest in keeping the club alive at their personal or trustees expense - and tbh I can't blame either one really.
Anyway -
