Court Winding Up Petition 28th October 2020

[southend_aussies]

The HMRC payment is meant to be paid then....


We are four days, Australian time, from that.

Do we know if it will be done or is the club going to be skint?

 

[overseas shrimper]

The club is skint whether we pay it or not.

See what's left once he's filled the Bentley up and paid the cleaner

The EFL have generously offered clubs loans from their coffers should the clubs be able to show they are on the verge of administration. How very generous of them to help out the members that made them that money in the first place.

as for the 27th I would expect it to be paid off in full followed by some new signings in the following week however I have no inside information.

 

[Westcliff DGS]

According to the Echo (16th September) we were given 42 days and the next hearing is the 28th, Therefor 5 days, one day extra which may be important. As I understand it can be paid on the morning of the hearing electronically.

Very true but he can do form his own phone, hopefully not a club one lol

 

[Shrimper]

And then we'll be outstanding for the next bill. Rinse, repeat

 

[Yer Blues]

It'll be fine.

Ron’s put it in black and white on more than one occasion that it will be paid, so I doubt there will be any other outcome than settled in full otherwise he’d be mad to make a rod for his own back in the current situation.

Sadly, putting things in black and white means little to Ron.

This bloke is such a complete pri(k chancer who is out of his depth.

He won't come good. He hasn't in 20 odd years and we are now for worse off than when he took over.

He needs to go and let proper people run the club.

And before anyone jumps on the "he is all we have bandwagon". He has had offers and won't sell. He would rather play roulette with the clubs and his own future.

 

[Medway Blue]

Triffic.

Yeah, not looking good. Relegation confirmed, IMO.

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United chairman Ron Martin has been unable to guarantee the club will pay off their outstanding debt to the HMRC next week.

If ever there was a time to protest this would be it.

Surely even the biggest of Ron's fans apart from maybe Rigsby (who might actually be Ron) can see that this man will kill our beloved football club.

We don't have to like the fact that we are stuck with him but we can make his life uncomfortable and bring some media coverage to the club.

 

[Farmer Fossett]

I would love to protest but not sure how we can due to the pandemic.

 

[Strykr]

Yeah we are in big trouble.

 

[JB Shrimper]

As somebody that doesn't believe a word that comes out of RMs mouth, this can only be positive surely?

**** me. This comment aged well.

If that debt don’t get paid then we’re done for and the whole situation will become well and truly toxic.
