Some very confusing (or confused)language in that article. A CCJ is not "served", a judgement is, by definition, passed down by a judge.

A summons, however, is served but it is by no means a guarantee that judgement will be made for the plaintiff. There is also mention that the club may contest this "CCJ" but again a judgement is final and cannot be contested. All of which leads me to believe that Kooga have simply summoned the club to a court hearing.

This in itself is not an indication of an inability to pay, many invoices are disputed for many reasons at which time the creditor may decide to instigate court proceedings. Indeed I myself am likely to instigate proceedings against a company shortly, the communications between us have been amicable but ultimately I believe they owe me money, they disagree with me!

I suspect that the Salford Star are well aware of all the points I've made but it suits their agenda better to make it look like judgement has already been passed.

Is that it, £35k? Jesus Christ. Love the threat of the bailiffs too - which of our assets are they going to walk out with, since we don't actually own any.

Well if the Saints fan on another thread is to be believed then Hock and we'll owe Kooga 10K.

That'll be Rangi Chase then

CCJ now registered against the company....

Date : 18/09/2014
Case No. : A1XJ1889
Court : Manchester County Court Business Centre
Amount : £38,485.00

If they need they money, I guess Salford could still borrow from Amigo Loans and use Marwan as the guarantor. I'm sure he would pass a credit check.
