    PFA?
    Their insurance protection policies?
    Courts?
    Employment tribunal?

    We slip down to fourth.
    Two points from top but with the monsoon game in hand.

    4 games since we last scored more than a solitary goal.

    and if you haven’t seen his Rolls Royce that must have cost a fortune.

    Rolls eyes.

    I was in the casino last night.
    Rolling dice in order to strike it lucky and save the club.
    Then, my alarm clock woke me up.
    Well, actually; the roosters in the next field.
    ————————————————-

    They threw me out of the club
    The club I built with my own two hands
    They threw me to the streets
    Into the streets where all the gangs hang

    I always liked Griff Rhys Jones.

    Do you live in Kansas Rene?

    Some may say that I’m “way out west” – but in reality and physically I’m a couple or three time zones in front of Scunny & Cleggy.

    I didn’t know Hilton was a developer, but deals in property, also why has he spent all this money trying to get back into the National League, to me nothing makes sense what is happening at the club but I think rightly or wrongly a lot of people are jumping to conclusions and looking at the worst scenario, and if you haven’t seen his Rolls Royce that must have cost a fortune.

    True… but that’s the problem. Too many led by their hearts and not their heads.

    To be honest, I’d rather be guillotined than suffer a death of 10,000 lashes.

    Better to get it over with, move on and start again.

    A “new” reformed club, perhaps headed by Simon & Ian but essentially a community club.

    It wouldn’t be the end of the world starting out at Level 9.
    At least the town would still have ITS football club.

    Ain’t the wage bill about £150k a month?
    Just to pay that, 3,000 fans would have to set up a DD of £50 a month.

    It is nevergoing to happen Rene, fans are plowing enough of their hard earned money in as it is, the club cannot be kept by extra fans donations, owners have made such a bloody mess of things, and supporters will not fund these owners many errors after being fed for years with lies after lies, the dark situation i that our club is not only bankrupped, but also heavyly in debt, and have no assets whatso ever. The club owe money to many people and also the Tax Office, and god knows who else.

    EXPECT MORE BAD NEWS OVER THE NEXT TWO OR THREE WEEKS YOU REMAINING SUPPORTERS, SADLY.

    Exactly.
    WHAM won’t find a buyer – apart from debt the club is worthless.
    Who in their right mind is going to buy debt with no foreseeable return?
    I think we will go to the wall.

    Has this guy just started posting? it seems odd that I’ve not seen him before and even odder that he’s a lot” braver” in his accusations than the Athletic yet supposedly hiding behind them.

    Me?

    We are hostage to Hilton now, until he sells or the club goes out of existence.
    My principles tell me not to go anymore as he is deliberately not paying people who are owed whilst paying for a team, which on paper, should walk the league. I don’t want to go and cheer that team, but if I don’t, and if lots other people don’t then the money dries up even faster.

    Chicken & Egg?

    The HMRC thing isn’t a big issue they accept anything over a period of time .

    Aslong as they get their money , that’s from a small /medium size business as I had .

    The problem is Hilton has gone daft on the playing budget and then said he won’t pay people – you can’t just not pay people ,

    I don’t get how some fans support that

    Horse & Cart
    You don’t need a Shergar / Frankel to pull a gharry.
    Any old horse will do.
    No cart… no need for a horse.
    Pay all debts first.
    Run a smaller, less costly squad.
    But, ensure that the club survives and that there is somewhere for our John Doe footballers to play.
    Not paying creditors & debts but loading up with ‘over qualified’ players on higher salaries than needed for Level Six is suicide.

    We were hoping that someone would come in and “Heal The Pain”.
    It’s all got “Too Funky” for WHAM and the “Fantasy” has turned in to a “Monkey” on his back.
    We “Cowboys And Angels” are left “Praying For Time” and hoping that a new “Father Figure” comes to our rescue!
    At least “You Have Been Loved” SUFC!
