Good home record, that!

Makes a bloody change!!

LOL .. Too true, mate.

No late goals conceded there!

Tax man not being payed
Players not being fully payed
Now I hear the caterers haven't been payed. Forget onion rings you might not get any burgers in your burger.

No burger isn't a bad thing with those dodgy things they serve up?

If I was writing a novel/TV show a plot might include the not paying of bills etc; would be a good ploy by Ron to put pressure on SBC over the planning application.
Get the green light on the works and all systems & cash start flowing.

This doesn’t exactly help our case for getting a new ground approved.

I totally agree and it’s wisfu thinking if anyone else to think otherwise to be honest. HMRC have always taken a dim view with football clubs especially with our club concerning unpaid taxes and will commence court proceedings very quickly.
HMRC are the lead petitioners, however are there others who are owed money?
SBC as well as those investing in The proposed new stadium will require a competent and financially well run football club and having another winding up petition is certainly clear evidence that it isn’t.

Why not just pay the bill on time? It's hardly a surprise, the accountant(s) will know it's due.

Many many years ago at some forum ( it might have been the stadium presentation at the royals) i spoke to the finance director on this. We had just incurred a fine for paying one day late. I had the same view as you and thought we had just wasted more money through negligence. However iI was told we simply didn’t have the money and we paid the bill the moment we did. We asked Sainsbury’s to pay us a day earlier than the agreement we had in place and they (naturally) refused.

 

[RobM]

Just my view here, but isn't it better to pay bills ASAP? Peace of mind if nothing else.

 

[AndyT]

If you've got the money, it is.

Where does the highest percentage of club revenue come from ?

Burgers with onions?

Burgers with onions?

So if the caterers are not being paid, we are stuffed then

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Nothing at all in the Echo about this - only a bunch of stories about Ronworld....

 

[AndyT]

So if the caterers are not being paid, we are stuffed then

I'd say we'd be particularly unstuffed, given that situation!

 

[HypoTypo]

The rumours about caterers has been on social media so they are just that, rumours. But rumours all start somewhere.

Thanks @AndyT ..... Unstuffed would be the correct statement

If we’re in trouble again - and it’s hard to understand how we wouldn’t be given the overall state of our finances - we should be giving our support to the club and its chairman rather than knocking them.

Best thing we can do is give Sunderland 7,500 tickets for the final game and say they are £20.00 each, advance purchase now!

 

[HypoTypo]

Best thing we can do is give Sunderland 10,500 tickets for the final game and say they are £40.00 each, advance purchase now!

Edited for you
