mcfluff1985 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Did the club say there would be a retraction or they wanted and expected to get one. Completely different things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisbrogan Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 There was an unadvertised petition the month before (which was sorted) and this one won't be satisfied until the next court hearing at the start of May. Some would be surprised at how many football clubs have the same petitions served against them when it's only every now & again, the press seem to highlight them.

The knack is to settle them before they appear in the Gazette. Now that's happened the club has little control over what happens next. We might not need speculation or guesses about what we owe if the club isn't able to make its creditors happy in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boundaryblue80 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I do genuinely wonder how folk like McFlufferboy and his sort would feel if the club ceased to exist tomorrow. Probably a shrug of the shoulders and little more thought to it. As several have said...it appears we should just wait for that day to happen before daring to even question the endless shit decisions the club makes. Nah...some care more than others thankfully.

Forte_Baby Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 We have had many of these so called winding up orders over two years. Told not to worry soon be paid off. The worrying thing is they are becoming far to much of a common occurrence. Yes we ain't in a mess like Blackpool, Charlton, Coventry or Orient. However it's the right that the trust are asking these questions now. I look back to when Paul Dickov was in charge and we had that month of few games due to postponements. If one of these winding up orders occurred again and we had very little money in the kitty. Or Mother Nature his us hard. Yes there is some fans that will use anything for an Anti Corney right but the Corney lovers need to accept other fans have the right to be concerned and express there worries. yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes the trust have a right to ask questions. Same with the scoreboard. But what the trust should do is stick to facts. So they've been told for example the scoreboard fund hasn't been touched. Yet they're straight on here basically calling Corney a liar. That's people who are in the trust. I used to think they did a job and respected them. Not now. They're just after a moan about anything like the rest a lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just after a moan about anything like the rest a lot of them It's a fact that an organisation that is clearly having trouble paying the bills has a charge against it held by a football agent who is a business associate of Steven Vaughan. Nothing the Trust said regarding the Scoreboard was wrong. We have yet to confirm where the money raised is held and whether it has always been there.

Compared to 4 years ago under Barry Owen when stuff was kept quiet alot of these fans where asking questions what others where on here. Matt Chambers also mentioned it on Twitter not just someone who wanted to use Twitter to shit stir? For me there has to be some sort of truth in it? Maybe the club where felt they where pushed into a corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they supposed to sit back whilst our illustrious leader takes us from shit storm to shit storm, they have a responsibility to the fans of the club and as a fan I'm glad they are asking uncomfortable questions on our behalf.

They did stick to facts. The trust asked questions. They asked for confirmation about the scoreboard money being used or not. None was forthcoming. That meant it was time for them to act. They did so after the Trust meeting. A couple of days later the club announce their LED boards and update on the scoreboard fund. My opinion is this was deliberate to undermine the trust & fuel nonsense from people like you. Trust have done nothing wrong. You will just fight anyone who points out clear evidence of the club being obstructive, evasive and shitting on fans and tell them black is white. As I've said previously, nothing but a wind up merchant. Edited April 6, 2017 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) A clear policy of only signing unagented players. Or they're reporting the amount actually paid, rather than the size of the bill.

Not necessarily a good thing. Agent fees are just reflective of budgets. The less money involved in deals the less you'll pay out to agents. We signed a lot of players late on in the summer who pretty much had nowhere else to go, agents wouldn't have had a leg to stand on as far as their fee goes.

This is hardly a ringing endorsement of the club is it? Just imagine the grief the club would be getting if we had a figure like Oxford or Wimbledon.

kowenicki Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 To be applauded. Agents are a feckin' nuisance and parasite on football. But the club can't win again. "Just means we never sign anyone" If we had paid a higher figure.
