Breaking News Support The Team Not The Regime! New update 24/11

[Holy Joe]

So much for the ring fenced 1st team budget! Hopefully just an admin blip, but looking unlikely

There's a lot of supposition and rumour on this so far. The word from Tom Lawrence was that the first team squad were being paid on time and there was no need for any fire sale. As it's only the first of December and one post has implied that the players will be paid, then we are where we were before the Go fund Me exercise.

I'm not, for a minute, supporting Ron's involvement in any of our ongoing financial nightmare, but it would be wrong, at this stage, to think the first teamers hadn't been paid.

And indeed, Chris Phillips has just confirmed it.

Cue players leaving in January and season falling apart.

Still not good enough.

Absolutely right, but it's bad enough on the non- playing front without getting hot under the collar over stuff that hasn't happened (yet!).

What do you mean hasn’t happened yet? The players meant to get paid Wednesday and instead got paid 24hrs later, therefore must of been some issue. I am sure it would of been Ron moving funds around inbetween accounts and not having the players wages in the right one by a certain time.

 

[CanveyCastle]

Bloody off-shore accounts, never let you have the money when you want it.

 

[SuperBlue]

Glad they’ve been paid.

 

[Medway Blue]

Now paid.

But….. for monies that were supposedly ringfenced this is hugely worrying and needs answering.

I'm not sure where this idea of "ringfenced" comes from when it comes to the players' wages. The club's cash reserves have been steadily dwindling month-to-month. Up until now there has been enough money there to pay the first team's basic salaries, even if other club employees have missed out. Yesterday that caught up with the club and there wasn't enough money there to pay anyone at all.

So the players have been payed I beleve today is the 1st of december so i guess the players have been payed for all of december . It is now up to Ron to get the funds in place before january .So this does not happen again .

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

We have an absolute joke of a chairman. Absolute scum. I'm sure we will have issues again the next month. Issues will never go away when he is the chairman.

 

[Smiffy]

So these are the facts:

Players are up to date with wages now. But paid 24hrs late.

Most other Staff members are owed November and some October salaries still.

Not good enough.

So never then.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I didn’t get paid by my company until 5pm, today!

Ron got it confused with the cleaners ring.

Chinese whispers probably, but am sure someone on here had heard from
Tom L that this was the case.

I am not sure when this supposed bridging loan was due to come in, 2 weeks wasn't it when it was first mentioned a month or so ago? Surely by now it would of been sorted one way or the other so people can get paid.

Sounds like the normal waffle and bollocks from RM whilst he treats everybody like mushrooms.

Weeks not months is what actually said so strictly not more than 8 weeks…
