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?

So should the club pay a tax bill it disputes? They are holding firm. The taxman is playing hardball. They'll no doubt sort it out.

No doubt they will, by flogging off one of the few shining lights of this season to another club; so long Smurph, thanks for everything.

I think there would only be one winner in that stalemate.

For it to get to this stage there is no dispute the club owe the Tax Man. It's down to now what the HMR will accept. So they will get a Jnr Barrister to negotiate in court a repayment schedule for about £300 per hr or spend Tens of thousands in fees taking on the taxman. Option one me thinks !!

technically speaking you cant get a winner in a stalemate.
