Quote: reborncougar "Is there a list anywhere of who lost how much money. I don't mind the tax man being screwed but I wouldn't like to think they have shut down 2001 and created 2010 to also screw local suppliers, staff and players.
Also, does the ground and buildings, say the desks, alcohol etc not count as assests which in reality are owned by 2001 and so become the property of the tax man and any other debtors?
Amazing how in rugby you can keep going bust but just carry on.
Personally I think last year was a great year and the directors gave us what we had been asking for. It is them paying the price right now as they no longer have any significant role in a club they helped build. We on the other hand still have the club and team, albeit perhaps straight back into C1 next year.'"
I don't like anyone being screwed (even the taxman), it only comes back to haunt you, and ruins goodwill.
The directors might have given us what we wanted but they lied about the financial position, and unless something unforseen caused it, like a(some) sponsor(s) not paying up, that is not acceptable.
I hope we find out just what happened, but I doubt it.
Does anyone know the new board?
Have they the potential to be a good board?
Just being a "fan" does not mean you will make a good director!
However, I wish them success.
