Do we ever learn.....
 
I'm not even surprised to read this sort of stuff now. Getting ****ing boring.
 
Do we ever learn.....

Whats to learn?

We dont have any money, we didnt have any last month and nothing has changed, no matchday income.

Ron simply can not afford to run/subsidise a football club and until the season starts or something happens with the stadium that may release funds this is going to continue to happen.
 
Perfect, so with this hearing on 19th August does this put us under an umbongo until then?
 
Tell you something, RM or whoever really runs the show must have b*lls of steel. I run a business and would probably crumble into a quivering heap at the mearest threat of a winding up petition. Sleeping at night would sertainly be out of the question. Yet the club seem to go through it month after month, with seemingly no one being too bothered, still signing players, still heading off for trips to Madrid, etc etc.. But I guess you don't become rich without knowing how to play the system & knowing how far you can push your luck.
 
FFS! this is so depressing, we make a couple of decent signings, things look up for a change, then PB cant understand why the next signing isnt happening and then this!! Based on this we will see no new signings at least until sometime after the 19th August by which time the season will be underway.

So who is funding the Madrid trip, surely if we are in a financial mess, the last thing the club needs to be doing is taking i guess around 25 or so staff to madrid.
 
This has to be a record even for us. We were just in court on 21st June to clear the last tax bill.

Awaits club statement...

"We are only a day or two late in paying. HMRC are taking a very hard line with us. It will be discharged well in advance of the hearing" blah blah...
