Gone.
It looks like they properly pulled the plug before they went, too. I went online to buy something and noticed this last night…
You never know what’s just around the corner!
Unless you’re Kevin Keegan, who does but doesn’t know where the corner is.

The club needs money obviously. I am a pensioner, how many £20 shares do the club expect an individual to purchase?
The minimum purchase is 5 shares (so the cost would be £100).
Too short a time space between the announcement (yesterday) and the first meeting (today).
Yeah, it says you can arrange an individual appointment but better to see & hear the full presentation.I think you’re splitting hairs and, effectively, complaining about nothing. You’ll actually get a much more personal version of the ‘presentation’ if you arrange to visit GP in your own good time. Michelle is accommodating and will talk to you, and it’s a good opportunity to have your questions answered without getting crowded out at something bigger.

A mere 24 hours notice of a meeting for potential new shareholders – a pang of desperation.
Reactionary? Mismanaged? Poorly Executed?
A change in direction? Do we have a strategy and a vision.
We just seem to be bumming along, awash in the current of uncertainty… not knowing which lifeboat to swim to.Reactionary, yes it appears to be. At least they’re doing something when it’s clear they can’t do nothing.
If his Chester halftime performance is anything to go by I would hope it isn’t Zanetti
That’s what I mean. Is Zanetti hiring ‘the building’ as it were, and providing his own teams for absolutely everything? Or is the Club responsible for all logistics, and Zanetti merely supplying the acts, facing up the promo and twatting a noseful in the tunnel on a matchday?
I did think on Saturday (Southport) that for the first time Beck had a solid game and his general strength and hold-up play was an asset to the overall performance. I also thought Whitehall would have been on the floor on several of those occasions, appealing for a free kick.
As someone who works in events and have been in planning meetings for some of the capitals biggest occasions it’s hard to what these people have done from the website with regards getting 10k people there for a festival.Theres no info at all around any special measures.
The more I think about it now, the more I’ll be surprised if it goes ahead. It would be interesting to know just who is officially in charge of the logistics and infrastructure around this event – the new stadium manager?
Was told last year he couldn’t attend due to concerns for his safety, personally I’d let him on the terrace.
You’re being extremely dry, I presume?
Heaven help the fans, the club are not just allowing it they promote it.
What do you expect them to do? Hide it in the accounts under the term Bad Vibes?
The reason there seems to be no action makes it more of a reason to explain what the debt is for .. i say again it’s a huge sum of money to casually write off.
The silence absolutely speaks for itself, imho
This weekender gig has DISASTER written all over it .. whose topping the bill Hinge n Bracket ?
Hilton John
Not if a large donation (debt) went to buy a stadium it wouldn’t.
Don’t choke on the dregs of the Dave Kool-Aid.

If, let’s say, there was a scenario where Scunthorpe ended up facing Spennymoor in the final of the Play Offs then surely you’d recall Shrimpton and put him straight in the side. Just for the absolute Whitehallery of it.

The second ‘wave’ of acts were due to be announced last night. Second time Zanetti has missed his own deadline.
After his Chester half-time I’d guess it’s rare that he ever misses a line.

Highly amusing that he uses the word “We” when he talks about the club, he’s stadium banned and always will be.
Not so amusing that he continues his pattern of pro-Dave shit-stirring.
Bad debt could also be a purchase of something that can never be repaid.
Or missing cash.

Ask the person who shares their surname with a closed homewares store…
Dave Habitat?
Ha ha! Only a day later than anticipated. But if the day fits…
Strangely reminiscent of a previous tirade against Kieran, around the middle of 2023. ‘I used to like you mate, used to respect you, now you’re just like the rest of them. I smoke out vermin me…’ blah blah blah, BS, BS, BS…ad infinitum.
Is ‘out vermin’ a type of crack?
What was the official reason for only being able to pay for season tickets with cash again??
BOSH ??
250k equates to 700-800 season tickets at a very very rough guess
Joined-up thinking.
I hope, for the Club’s sake, it comes off. But it’s already got the stink of dead animal about it.

… should it be be explained as commented bt BLT a couple of posts earlier????
Do you mean you want the Club to explicitly say it?
Perhaps there was an agreement not to pursue or reveal that info, in exchange for buying the Club for no fee.

No.
Rather see Hiltons extravagant spending on the team. (Would seem not bad in the end anyway seeing we only lost £250,000)
Now what is extravagant is employing a CEO, a Catering manager, stadium manager all tuther office staff, and a restaurant, all very well and good for a team in the EFL but national league north I don’t think so.
All beyond our control either direction.I don’t think “we only have £250,000 of irretrievable debt to someone who never had any intention of paying it back” truly washes.
Like a turkey paying homage to the slaughterman

Does the club 1899 money come into this ? SUFC are effectively losing season ticket money and profit on club shop items to repay those who bought into that (was going to phrase that very differently but don’t want to cause work for the moderators).
Did you rephrase because you’d originally had a go at those who naively bought into the scheme, or at the person who cynically implemented it? Know your enemy.
It’s great in theory the model we are working towards, but I suspect we will hit the ceiling pretty quickly.
As I’ve said elsewhere in the past, as supporters we almost certainly have to face the fact that we’re operating at (or about at) the right level for a club of our size and means. Even then it’s a continuing financial struggle, though much of our issue is legacy debt and black holes in the accounts.
Perhaps a better way to say it would be “cash monies due to the Club, and which the Club could reasonably have expected to receive, but did not”…
Bad debt on a balance sheet would almost certainly be relating to money we are owed that we now no longer think is retrievable. So, who owes us £250k?
Just the use of the words “money we are owed” infers that there was likely to have been some sort of formal loan or repayment agreement. To further walk on eggshells around the elephant in the room, I very strongly suspect that not to be the case.

9 full time staff on the non playing side at the club, the vast majority of them doing more than one task, all of them work incredibly hard and it’s unacceptable that some on here choose to question their commitment or the standard of their work.
Michelle Harness who has been working morning till night up to 7 days a week for over a year to ensure there’s a club for the town to support ably backed by those 9 staff, I’m baffled as to why some on here choose to question it.Lack of awareness of the nitty gritty (what it takes day by day, role by role, task by task) to keep the Club rolling?

SUFC is over staffed in some areas mentioned bearing in mind we are in the NLN ..
We don’t know the actual duties and workload, do we – so how can you say that with certainty? Wasn’t it previously mentioned that James Moody was, effectively, doing the jobs of two or three people during the Hilton era? That’s not sustainable in itself – nothing would be given the time it demands or be done with the expertise it requires.
Obviously cant say it for absolute certainty sure .. more so its IMO its over staffed in some areas for a NL club.
Yes Off loaded LT and running with a small squad (well balanced with cover so kudos there) but always seems to be money for non playing staff inc the new CEO who as yet has been pretty nondescript.
I’m not arguing the merits or otherwise of Roberts himself – but there was a point at which Michelle made it clear she could not continue working the hours she was working, nor on the sheer volume of tasks, micro-tasks, decisions, considerations and outreach ‘on her desk’.
