What was Tom’s overall thoughts on the situation? Does he believe it’s close to being resolved “weeks not months” to use his statement? Or does he admit to being clueless of next steps and just prays something comes up?
When is the next bag of money due from the development? Will this then set us free or just cover for a month or two?
Are the club open to being financed by investors or just happy to take handouts?
Why has the first team been ring fenced?
Hi, i am answering what i can in this thread. https://www.shrimperzone.com/forums/threads/shrimpers-trust-agm.113065/
Having read through the thread, nobody has picked up on one important point, which is, what happens if (or more likely when) the staff who keep this club running on a matchday, finally have enough and decide to go on strike and/or quit?
With no stewards/security, games can’t go ahead and you can forget about recruiting new staff, or even trying to drag agency staff in for it.
I can’t recall which game, but I was told around 6-8 weeks ago, a lot of matchday staff hadn’t shown up and the game was in jeopardy. We probably aren’t far away from this occurring again, but on a far larger scale.
I don’t look at these donations as bailing out Ron, I look at this as our way of saying thank you to the hard working folks behind the scenes, many of which are doing it because they are fans just like us. In fact, they are us.
I will be donating in due course (payday), not for Martin’s benefit, but for those who continue to make the effort for each and every one of us.

why do people repeat this ... ??
the point is that there is a strong revenue stream and with proper management a club should be able to survive.
If the turnover was say 2 million I could understand why there is a struggle to run a club.

yeah but on 7 million quid you can run a EFL football club ...
something you cannot do on 1 million quid

Absolutely correct with that . Our sponsors/advertisers group have submitted a 4-page summary to National League chiefs setting out exactly what has been happening at the club in respect of the unpaid wages to staff . We have asked them to take swift remedial action against the club . The letter has been with them for a number of weeks and as yet we have not received a formal reply . It could be they were waiting to see the outcome of the winding- up petition . I will get back to you when we do get that reply .

Out of interest, what 'remedial' action are you hoping that the NL take? Just a fine or are you looking for a points deduction too...?

just curious, what happens next time Ron don’t pay someone.. ? This cannot continue. Maybe we should be paying his tax bill.. and we take ownership
I believe "some" are waiting for "some" of their September salary.
October salaries are outstanding for "most" of the non-playing staff.
We are 2 weeks away from November salaries being due as well.
In short, Tom has been left up **** creek without a paddle. As for the staff, well there are no words unfortunately.
