No, it wasn't as it turned out. He's issued a statement. He said he had no updates to give the players and so thought they could 'have a day off'. He allegedly told the captain the night before but apparently it was too late for 'the captain' to communicate everything to the players.
Nothing like pushing the blame elsewhere! He's still a scumbag. He's playing games again now, saying that a previous potential investor who had said no is now looking again due to the 'commitment of the fans'. I wouldn't be surprised if that investor mysteriously disappears before Friday.
rlHere's the statement.rl |

Administrators aren't gods and can be challenged (see Rangers case ad nauseum). The original question was whether they can make Potter redundant and then hire a replacement (Nobby). The answer is not; at least not legally as it would just be seen a false device to replace staff.
In this case it won't apply as Nobby is not going to be employed as such as he is offering his services free of charge for the remainder of the season out of a (some would say mis-guided) sense of civic duty. |

As SF says he is still a scumbag and he had no excuse for cancelling the meeting.
As Potter said when he was asked to work for nothing: "I'm sure he's not working for nothing as an administrator."
I work in the finance "industry" (  ) and there is something fishy going on here. The previous directors said they were almost halfway to the target to see the season out, but then get binned by the majority shareholders who then put in this guy who says he has found a new black hole and the club cannot continue. Even if this is true, why have they shot themselves in the foot as their investment was effectively worthless anyway?  |

There are rumours that Cas are in a similar position with insuffient cash to continue long term. Not sure how true it is.

Well, they are on a signing frenzy at the moment so they don't look like a club about to collapse. However, on reflection, signings are probably not concrete evidence of where a club is financially. After all, Saints have just recorded a £2.4 million loss for 2011 and we signed for this season. |

They have been in administration three times since 1990 apparently. |
