Surely that depends on our defence in court
We know it has to be paid - what's the point of delaying? It doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it?
It will be a cash flow thing, I think. Just a guess but that’s all I can come up with to try to justify it
It can't be justified - whether or not Mr Martin thinks it's a reasonable approach, given that the vast majority of other clubs have not had a single court appearance in their histories, it is blindingly obvious that it is him that this the problem rather than HMRC - anyone that can't see that is frankly delusional!
Presumably it keeps failing in court because Martin pays up at the 59th minute of the 11th hour.I’m not sure anyone has suggested otherwise. All that has been said refers solely to the fact that this keeps failing in court.

I think you miss the point - the fact that it doesn't result in a "winding-up" (thankfully) isn't a defeat for HMRC, its method to ensure payment which has, thus far, been forthcoming just in time. IF however Ron's "delaying strategy" fails (either by further incompetence or bad luck) then he really is dicing with the clubs future.
Just consider if for some unforeseen reason the finance ready and waiting to be paid are suddenly "inaccessible" (given the myriad of companies that layer the money and the poor financial health of some this isn't that inconceivable) during the run up to the winding-up hearing, the sitting judge wouldn't be unreasonable in looking at the head-to-head record and seeing how frequently things have been taken into extra time and decided to show a red card.
Agree entirely HMRC must be getting fed up with us using them as an overdraft facility. Not a whisper in the Echo I see.I haven’t missed that point, I completely agree it’s not good or desirable from Ron and comes with risks. I’ve said so time and again. I was making a different point about the cost of these regular and avoidable court visits.
Presumably there's a financial penalty for late payment at a daily rate quite apart from the issue of court costs and that quickly mounts up if it extends into months.
So we would have received circa:
1 million + on season card sales
1.7 million from the league and tv rights
About 200k from sponsorship
About 500k from the sale of Dru
How are not able to pay out bills. We hardly signed world beaters and got the likes of kightly and Turner of the wage bill.
