Well done Ron. Now we just need a big out of contract striker and CB assuming the embargo will be lifted

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Great away win

Which begs the question, why did he wait until the last minute.

 

[blue pilot]

until next month? How much are we in arrears already? Are we going to go through the same performance ad infinitum?

Thats a trademark ron move.

There was no advantage in paying it early.

What is Michael Ricketts up to?

What is Michael Ricketts up to?

His neck in pies I imagine.

Which begs the question, why did he wait until the last minute.

Firstly, there's no benefit in paying it off early and secondly, do we actually know when he paid it off?

Why not?
Hanging on to the cash to make sure everything's in order appears to be the name of the game when it comes to HMRC.

I can't help but agree.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Yes!!!! Finally some good news.

Even if it gets paid of earlier the court hearing stays and then gets dismissed as I understand things.

Other than your playing and admin and managerial staff all fearing for their jobs during a pandemic while trying to win a game!!! Other than that..no advantage!

Apart from the embargo lifted and being able to sign players. We are now able to sign only those without a club. How fit can they be?

To be fair he did say a month ago that it would be paid in full, for some reason most people (myself included) didn't believe him

Is the embargo actually lifted now? I really hope so, but something is bugging me that this isn't the only debt that is preventing it being stopped.

Not true. The embargo is only lifted after the court case, not when the funds are paid.
