Quote: MOPSEY LIVES ON "

Good on you, He's a director of this club of course he knew we were skint. icon_beat.gif icon_beat.gif
Sometimes as a supporter of this club we get a bit one dimensional if your company was going to fold and you'd be without a job would you look elsewhere to secure your personal future. Being a manager at a professional sports club is not a job full of loyalty...

You're making yourself look silly; and no one will ever take you seriously. icon_iamwithstupid.gif

'That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party.... So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin':23909.gif

Maybe Kear volunteered to be a sacrifical lamb/jambon in an attempt to get funds for the club so rather than being unloyal he was being more loyal than Mops could ever have imagined icon_biggrin.gif

Doesnt add up, how come the club are after 500,000 after failing to recieve 350,000 whichhas put them in debt. What was the 350,000 for? was it being lent from Peter to pay Paul? what is the 500,000 for? why arnt the club giving more information when asking for such large ammounts of money?(Together we are stronger!) what happened to Plan B? where have the debts come from? at meetings we were told that the club was operating within its means. What happened to the Brough money? what happened to the Atkins money? what happened to the Pitts money? were we making a profit when we finished 5th in the league? There are so many questions surely fans hve a right to know before donating large sums of money

£350k was due upon outline PP being granted. Given that all indications had been positive I suspect that the club persuaded the bank to lend against this money. The bank are probably playing hardball now (although I doubt they lent anywhere near £350k). In the absence of information to the contrary I'm assuming that the debts relate to off-season costs (e.g. wages) that aren't helped with the absence of gate receipts.

The funds for Atkins went straight to the tax-man. The Brough move was cash plus Kirmond on loan - despite his value on the field, the cash value will have been substantially reduced as he was approaching the end of his contract & we won't have got a substantial sum for him (£30k max IMHO). Pitts wasn't a first team regular so wouldn't have commanded a huge fee - again £20k to £30k.

Our 5th place finish will have been unlikely to have delivered significant profits & I wouldn't be surprised if we lost money that year too.

Plan B for the stadium is still going forward.

Information is the key & those of us who are shareholders that couldn't attend the meeting will just have to see what information the club are willing to send us.

According to posts on other threads, the 350K is a tax bill due to HMRC by the end of the month. The reasons why we have this huge tax bill are also explained there (sorry, I can't remember exactly where now - try the "Wildcats Share Scheme" or "New Invester [sic]" threads). The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is (and will probably remain) elusive.

The penal system will doubtless be making the necessary preparations.

RR - Like you say, the truth remains elusive. If it is a tax bill with an absolute deadline where is the winding up petition from HMRC? They've been happy to do it in the past so why not now?

I know that the club bank with Bank of Scotland & I also know that BoS have been very tough with their business customers over the last few years. The bank are also in a much easier position to force the club into Administration through the Debenture that will be in place to secure any funding.

if we dont pay our bills wed get cut off, or evicted, the only people to blame are the bod. why didnt they cut the staff bill or merge jobs and pay the bills. atkins, tronc, brough, pitts, westwood, newton rip sold for the quick buck. ted in an iva. yes your right it doesnt add up.
