Wait for the "its a formality" quote from Ron. No stadium, unpaid bills, winding up petition, faultering promotion push, but we have plenty of scrap metal rusting over at Boots & Laces.
Would anyone be surprised if it was the due to non-payments for the Dome and we see all those pieces of metal taken away from B&L soon?
I think Decherts were acting for the club on the new ground.
Naughty Ron not paying his legal bills!
A winding up petition has been issued relating to an old disputed bill.
An agreement has been reached and the petition will be dismissed.
southend so been winding me up for years......Southend are being taken to court again March 30th.
All a diversion to take our minds and interest off last night's peformance? :winking:
"And the solicitors, London firm Dechert, piled in with “we are frankly astounded that you have proceeded with…a winding-up petition,” claiming “it is an abuse of process for any creditor to use the winding-up procedure in relation to a disputed debt.”"
Hypocrisy alert !
You couldn't make it up. I would love to hear Ron's sales patter if he tried to get another firm to defend us ' Ron why don't you use the firm that has defended you in the past?' 'We can't as we didn't pay them and it's them who are actually taking us to court for non payment. Every thing is on thou abd if you take us on I will pay you next week. Would you like a cheque as a deposit':unsure:

Hypocrisy alert !
I think Decherts are appearing the hypocrites here, they seem to have decided its now ok for any creditor to use the winding-up procedure in relation to a disputed debt.
Unless of course RM remembers that phrase and has decided to use it against them , hence the old disputed debt comment
I think RM and PB should swop job roles. Couldn't get any worse !
Hang on a minute - why the hell is anyone blaming Ron? We've CLEARLY got more outgoings than income and he's kept it all going by juggling around behind the scenes. In addition we've got the fattest squad in the division and the manager has been backed as much as any other manager in this league. Why should the fact that we can't pay our bills surprise anyone?
What exactly do you want the Chairman to do? If this is his incompetence, what would you do differently?
