Dru left over a week ago now and still hasn’t been replaced..
The winding up order is due to be heard next week. I know there have been many before and Martin has always come up with the money but I do wonder if this issue is affecting morale within the club and is perhaps more serious this time round.

But we don't know how much the fee really was, nor how it will be paid. Doubt if it was a bank transfer on the day for the full amount, whatever that was. I know many other clubs are in the same situation but there comes a time when the wheeling and dealing has to stop, as Bury and Bolton are finding out. Just hope it's not us this time.Not really. It's part and parcel of playing for about half the clubs in Div 1 and 2 that are in deep financial trouble. Also, we have just had the Dru Yearwood much needed cash injection that will take the pressure off for now.

Not really looked into how the Bolton situation came about, but did in the Bury situation. They were fleeced by the former Chairman. A very clever man, operating a very complex way of getting money out of the club through asset stripping, loans and fees, and passing the club on for a £1 when there was nothing else to get. Ron Martin isn't in it for the money he can fleece out of our club, he's actually done his brains so far. He's in it for the pot of gold that is the Fossetts development. So he needs to keep us alive to get that. He's happened to fall in love with the club on the way, and may even stay on after the pot of gold.
All this winding up stuff has no bearing on the way the players do on the pitch .If we was in the state of Bolton or Bury then yes it may well do . All the problems on the pitch are bad line ups .Bad management .And it has sod all to do the clubs finances .
Must impact on recruitment.if a possible signing is aware of financial difficulties. Just like everyone else, footballers have regular monthly commitments and many have young families to support so you might think twice about signing for a club with a winding up order hanging over it.. Due diligence works both ways.Not true. When the players weren't paid in 2008? they did nothing and we got relegated. if you remember Sturrock only had 4 players turn up for pre-season as no one wanted to stay. It does make a difference.

In business? Haven't kicked a ball this season and the EFL were supposed to make an announcement today were they not?Why should we be worried about this anymore when Bury are still in business?
Once raised, doesn't it have to go to court to be dismissed? waste of everyone's times i agree!We have just received circa 2 million.
I'm not sure why we are even needing to go to court

Got absolutely zilch!I was relying on you telling us who was inbound, with your sparkling record so far this window.

Just heard that the Gillingham game also suspended. Their next game after that v Rotherham also under threat. .Aug 23 is the day they will be kicked out of the EFL barring something conclusive happeningthe 15th apparently.
Back to transfers. There's still some decent free agents around. Timlin and Atkinson, there's your centre and wide midfielder sorted... XD
