Winding Up Order Wednesday

[hlane17]

I agree.

I've not been an advocate of protesting but I do now believe that the time has come

Might have to be social media and digital protesting, since I doubt many people would be happy to turn up at the club's gates.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Still, at least our shirt is good this season.

 

[Barry.C]

Sorry typo I meant Friday 16th Oct

 

[Shrimper]

As far as I understand it the transfer window for EFL closes on the later date the 18th October. In my happy fairyland world , Ronaldo pays off the debt before the next hearing and the embargo is lifted. However Rons default position is always to take it to the wire and go to Court,

From what I've been reading it doesn't matter if it's paid early. It doesn't get lifted until the hearing date.

 

[united we stand]

Is £500k compared to £493k the difference between being wound up like Macclesfield or deferred like us. If so, has Martin been very clever in getting below the cutoff point or are we just lucky compared to them?

I wondered the same thing,if it was a total coincidence or we had been very clever.

We may have been able to pay say another £200,000 but we have kept it back. Then worse case in 40 days we pay £200,000 and ask HMRC to give us more time.

it looks better than paying more now and sod all in 42 days even if the totals are the same.

it’s probably a coincidence but who knows?

Perhaps you are right. Maybe it is time To mobilise our fan base And be heard. But what would be the objective? Ron to go? Who is going to take his place?
Ron our but seriously then what?

What we need now and I mean today is an explanation from Ron, answers and what the plan is going forward. I won’t be holding my breath.

Can just imagine the amount of £100 fines the government would collect if there was a mass protest at the club gates

Why keep it back though? You'll just earn interest on a higher amount.

 

[GBJ]

Worth splashing out for that season card now? How much longer can we last? I feel hard done by just by ordering two shirts off the club over a month ago, still haven't received them, the whole club is just a joke the way it is run

Think how much those shirts could be worth in years to come though. The last ever kits worn by Southend United Football Club.

If you ever get them, of course

Do you know if you can ask for the date to be brought forward?

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

I'll be honest. I've got to the point with Ron that I'd take administration a points deduction if it meant finding new owners who can actually Run a club.

Be careful what you wish for

 

[Napster]

Two weeks wages for Bale. The game is done.

 

[Shrimper]

Do you know if you can ask for the date to be brought forward?

Don't think so

 

[Tampa Blue]

Time to move on possibly and realise that our club is probably wrecked beyond repair under the current ownership. Well i would imagine that at least whoever owns FF and the RH site will profit handsomely.

Exactly this

It's probably coincidence and due to the fact that we have made regular payments, according to BBC Essex.

 

[blues exile]

Why keep it back though? You'll just earn interest on a higher amount.

Because regular payments are always preferred to sporadic, albeit larger ones. Banks and other financial institutions set great store by this as evidencing reliability and good faith. They would all rather do a deal, even if the level of repayment is minimal, than wind things up where everyone loses.

 

[Smiffy]

Positive is we haven’t gone under. Everything else about this outcome is a complete disaster. We need new owners pronto.

Couldn’t agree more mate

 

[Barry.C]

From what we have learned and he has said, I doubt very much that MM will be too upset by this. He has been through it all before over a long spell and come through it very well, Im sure he would have weighed up this option and outcome long ago and not be too phased by it at all. Lets stay strong in the meantime behind MM
