pay is over 2 weeks late, 2 weeks until the next pay day, but what ever helps you get through the day

If they have money problems & pay their staffs late, they wouldn’t advertise this?

Match day staff, that don’t need paying during the off season?

Wouldn't they ?

That could mean the exact opposite though, perhaps the vacancies are there because previous staff have left because they didn't get paid.

No mention of salary. Salary to be Negotiated or Salary to be Unlikely ?

That probably explains why we have not signed anyone else. Very annoying

Announce the Embargo

It’s surprisingly common for a certain type of employer to advertise vacancies that don’t at the moment exist. It’s used as a clear message to existing employees who are moaning about trivial matters - such as not being paid on time. “There are plenty more fish in the sea.”

It could also be the simple fact that there is a vacancy to cover maternity leave.

Staff not paid and been told unlikely to be paid next week. Possible new signings medicals cancelled last week. Staff disillusioned and leaving or trying to find new clubs. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

I honestly thought we were set for a relatively stable and perhaps even bright period in our club's future. It would seem that one man has other ideas.....

When, as Chairman, you tell your CEO that the budget is the same as last season, and the CEO asks "if we operate to that budget, can you continue putting money into the club so it can meet its financial obligations on time?" and you say "yes, of course", the CEO can only take you at face value but then the next time you prove that you in fact can't do that, these issues arise.

Rumour or known fact?

Martin must be either a tight **** or skint..... how hard can it be to just pay staff on time who aren't earning a fortune. Those staff members deserve to be paid, no surprise there looking for work elsewhere.

In the scenario described above, the CEO is left in an unenviable position. He would realise that he can't sanction any further permanent additions to the payroll, and instruct his football department to focus on loans, or just do the best they can with what they have.

Coaching team would then be a bit miffed that they are not going to have the type of squad they had hoped for, and indeed been promised. Scouting team would be even more miffed when they realise that all the scouting they had done for the last few months is no longer relevant.

Let's just hope that nothing like that would ever happen here.

Fact

And we are surprised why exactly?

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

Having seen the same scenario for the last four months, I'm not surprised at all. I am however appalled at the sheer lack of respect shown to hard working and dedicated staff who month after month are given no explanation as to why they will struggle to pay their household bills, but just told maybe next week we will pay you.
