That was last year.

It does say HM Revenue & Customs and to be fair they are the only Creditors who would take such action so quickly.

Ok then. This does not look good. At least it would explain why we are shopping around in bargain basement for players whilst are competitors appear to be making more signings.

As has been already said, i am not sure who we could sell to raise the money because we no longer have anybody left who is worth a reasonable amount of money.

One final and perhaps the most inmportant point is that not having financial problems is one of the most important parts regarding franchise applications so would this give the RFL another excuse to not give us one?

Definately the HMRC (taxman). Looks like we once again have got into trouble with the tax bill(s). No wonder we are looking for new investment. Doesn't look good for the franchise application even if we manage to pay!!

Club statement?

We could do with an official statement to stop rumours and to know the true facts.

They have certainly kept this one quiet as it appears to have been around since the end of July. Were the club hoping to pay before anything became public or hope no-one would notice?

Everything around the club seems so shambolic these days! Right from out on the pitch to failing to pay the taxman. The HMRC is taking no prisoners these days and I fear they are looking to make an example of a sporting team after losing so much when football clubs go into administration.

I really fear for the future of the club unless something major happens very soon.

Standard procedure from the tax man. If you don't pay your tax bill by the required date he seeks a winding up order.

I understand we have some cash coming in which will pay off the tax man (and more) but its an issue of timing. We will not have the cash before the petition is heard and its a matter of whether the taxman will give an extension on the time to pay - if he does we are okay - if not we have a problem.

If there are any investors interested in "buying" the Club from Ted don't hang back guys, the Club needs you now.

The facts seem quite clear...we are facing a winding up order from the taxman. If that goes through we can forget SL in 2012 (or 2011 for that matter).

Complete and utter shambles!!!!

Cheers, Sandal Cat; very sensical. We know no details and the taxman is just following procedure. If the Club are up front and honest about the issue and explain how they will be getting the funds together, there shouldn't be a problem.

Last year might point towards financial instability, but at the same time we can assume that the Club were open and communicative with the taxman and the issue was sorted. The channels of communication have been opened and they're aware of the Club's plight. If the Club go cap in hand and tell them when the money will be ready, we'll be fine.

Heard about this earlier this week. I imagine it will require another player(s) sale. Probably Murphy.

What a bloody shambles; we lurch from one crisis to another, with occasional respite in the form of nonsense rumours about half decent players or wealthy new owners.

Supporting this club is like being in an abusive relationship.

ah so that's sorted that little worry

Perhaps its time the supporters had their say in how the club was being run?
