Back in court today. You might get a bye on Saturday. Hope none of you have booked any complicated coach travel yet.

Finger's crossed for you, would hate to see that.

Does this rule out any possibility of a points deduction this season (given that 56 days takes us to after the end of the season)?

Hope you survive obviously, but wouldn't turn my nose up at a 10 point helping hand!

I actually fancy them to creep up on second. :icon_conf

No.

 

[Doggie_muz]

No.

Thanks Jeff - never one to use more description than necessary.

Given that this is their major creditor, the likelihood of administration being forced by any other creditor is presumably low. So if they have been given grace until 3 days after the end of the season, will the Football League retrospectively dock them points if they fail to meet the payment?

*Awaits one-word answer*

 

[RHYDAL]

No.

Technically correct, however at the time of the next hearing, we will know if we are in the play offs or not. I cannot imagine a scenario where either the board would not raise the cash to get us through them if in the top six, or where we'd be in a relegation place with 10 points off. So in short, if 10 points are coming off, it'll be next season.
Looks like a relegation battle then whatever happens.

Oh dear.

Talk of Clubs in Court Sheffield United are taking the local Council to Court over the World Cup 2018 bid

 

[Doggie_muz]

Oh dear.

Apologies for my ignorance, but I thought your major creditors were:

1. Langston - settled correct?
2. HMRC
3. Former and current directors - who are presumably unlikely to put you in administration?

Who else do you owe big sums to?

 

[Jeff]

Technically correct

My favourite kind of correctness.

 

[Miles Away]

My favourite kind of correctness.

I prefer being theoretically correct. Or plainly correct.

Technically isn't bad either I suppose.

Another club having payment problems with HMRC -Forest Green they're non-league I know but The Revenue are coming down on any team at the moment so after the season end I can see them throwing the book at Cardiff unless Ridsdale comes up with the money.

Winding up hearing today

I take it its not gonna be a problem though-but what happens if it is? Points deduction to them and suddenly blackpool in the play offs against us?

 

[Darth Vodka]

i think we can say any creditors will hang on for the play off money and maybe Wembley money... absolutely zero chance of dropping out of the play offs

even HMRC aren't that short sighted about cash collection

so they day after we knock them out...they'll file for administration once that Malaysian guy clears off ;-)

There won't be a great deal of Wembley money DV - it's shared amongst all the clubs in the division.
