Moley seemed pretty sure we were out of the embargo so hopefully it's just that we're waiting on the NL to check the paperwork, I'm guessing the statement was the first they heard of us paying off the debt.

It probably literally just been paid. So quick statement immediately thereafter.
In the coming days no doubt (and we should) get a more detailed statement regarding the details on other debts (particularly wages).

We have been whining about how disgraceful it is we have no statement, they rush one out to say HMRC paid, and we moan about the statement being brief (no doubt because it was rushed out...)

Absolutely agree. If you could just let the others know, that would be ace

Even though it’s Chris Phillip it’s still the press making it sound ten times worse

@Moley knows his stuff.

This will just be our case needing to be "dismissed" in court officially tomorrow and the NL then removing the restrictions. It's always been the case under every embargo we've had.

As Moley says, give it a day or two.

Exactly, I very much doubt the NL will lift the embargo based on a statement from our website

Hopefully, HMRC will confirm this tomorrow.

That's a shame.

Guys, let the dust settle. Enjoy the moment. A further more detailed statement is meant to be coming out within the next 2 days.

Exactly. Its almost as if some are bitterly disappointed that it got paid at all....

 

[pete boss]

guys we nearly had no club! be happy we are over this awful situ and get behind the boys to win the play-offs.. stop the doom and gloom for 5 mins and celebrate you have a club and roar on the boys.. thanks for at least saving the club you nearly wrecked Ron... up the blues!

 

[Mr Plow]

I'd hope the NL keep the embargo in place until Ron has confirmed all wages have been paid to everyone at the club so he can't weasel his way out of delaying for any longer.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Without knowing the details, sigh of relief

Exactly the sort of posts I fully expected, very very very naive.

Nothing Naive about it mate, have a very good idea of what’s happening

Living in misery isn’t the answer.

Enjoy what’s to come :)

Jay, your post edited to reflect our chairman's previous fibs.

Reading between the lines "the Club can confirm the monies owed to HMRC, under the Petition, have been paid in full"

So basically we have only paid off the historic debt, and not the liabilities accrued since then.

Sadlt that ts the echo for you .May be someone from the shrimpers trust can give everyone a reason why the Embargo has not been lifted .I thought we was under an embargo for non payment of taxes .If as reported the tax has been paid in full surely the embargo should be removed .

Well we live to fight another day, can't believe it's actually came this close, but in comes the knight in shining armour . It still can't and won't be forgiven and I won't even consider praising him for doing this to everyone, am happy tho that we can carry on getting behind this fantastic set of players and staff, however I fully back Martin out

Plus 'Funds as working capital have also been injected to help Southend United over the coming months' so hopefully the club can be run correctly and this may not happen ahaiin.

Where does this leave us Umbongo wise?

If we’re still under an embargo this time next week then it could well mean more recent money is still owed to HMRC
