A number of other clubs will definitely have larger liabilities than Wakefield. However, if those clubs can settle the outstanding bill with HMRC you'll never be any wiser. Don't forget some of the owners behind the larger clubs have much bigger pockets and can more easily absorb a hit like this. It's only because Wakefield can't pay that it's reached court and therefore the media.

Wakefield fans <> the real world...

...will they ever meet. I doubt it reading the claptrap written on here by some.

WTRLFC is a business or that's what everyone claims they want it to be (when it suits).

We are in a massive recession with lines of credit a hard thing to find. We entered this recession in a weaker position than most and are now scrambling for survival as are many clubs. To do this we need to use every trick in the book. Thus delaying payments to the IR is an obvious one as it keeps the cash flow going.

It's like when you run up your credit and turn them into a loan. It may cost you a little more but it makes things manageable until things pick up. It's not ideal but it's how the real world works especially right now!!. The fact that it makes cheap headlines is neither here nor there.

I suggest a few people come down from their ivory towers on this one and face up to the reality of being a Trin fan - something most of us did years ago. As stated many times before, nothing will change and we will always struggle until we get a new ground - that in case some have not noticed is what all the fuss has been about since SWAG began.

Move on

PS: Idea Mopsey, it's fans like you and the never ending bitter, negative, badmouthing that you and others continually peddle that puts folk off as much as anything else IMHO. Think about it.

I really wouldn't throw stones if I were you, your greenhouse is even leakier from what I hear.

And so it begins...again



Ignore people who are trolling and they will go away.

And you shouldnt believe everything you hear.

I think you'll find this isn't what's happened. The money owing is not connected to normal payments to HMRC, it's over and above this. It's tax and NICs due on money that's been "illegally" paid tax free.

is this a fact, how do you know if it is, if it us does it relate to the previously mentioned naming rites etc. If so who's bright idea was it??
I appreciate we may not be on our own, but I arent bothered about anyone elses cock ups!!!!

No idea whether Boom is right, but that could only be on image rights paid to offshore accounts for the overseas players to collect on their way home. If so many clubs will have fallen foul of this, it’s just the perhaps the majority have the capital to pay it off before court actions are taken against them.

I'm pretty sure if the club didn’t use this loophole that many of their rivals will have been exploiting then they would also have been criticised by some on here for lack of initiative.

If all payments are met in 12 weeks then all this will have been a lot of fuss over nothing. Hopefully the club can fulfil their obligations.
