You clearly haven't read the article then as it says "the petition was brought during the summer, when the club faced a string of financial problems after its main sponsor Eric France went bust, leaving a six-figure hole in the Wildcats’ finances" and goes on "at the time, former Wildcats chairman Andrew Glover said the petition, which came about due to a legal battle with a supplier, would be paid before any action was taken against the Super League club".

So, rather than taking the positive view that this is drawing a line under the matter you decided it would be a good idea to suggest that things were looking grim!

I think you have jumped the gun a bit here, there is nothing suggesting any sort of negativity in OP's post, I read it as pretty neutral. There was no reason to have a go at him like you did imo.

Can we now close this thread

I'm with you on this one, don't think the OP posted anything untoward.

I thought it sounded pretty neutral too.
Reporting on what W.E. had printed and concluding with the assumption debts had been settled.

I'm thinking opening poster has a right to request that.
