id think PAYE was a bigger amount?

 

either way, none of this is a surprise for a business with no cash

Ken lends the business at the last minute, Ken takes out ASAP

If theres no Ken, nobody puts in....bing, bang, bong

There's really no excuse for not paying your VAT or PAYE. That really is unforgivable. And avoidable.

If it's that, then Ken can really fuck off. That's something that's happened on his tighter ship and is about as basic a fuck up as you can make. And on purpose.

Again, i don;t know, so let's hope it's something else.

The Leveller at FGR can still fuck off.

But people got pissed off that he was saying nothing, now he's spoke people are pissed of with that too, what do people really want, my answer to that is they don't fucking know

 

Nobody was asking for 2,000 words on Neil Bonnar's drinking, Churchill quotes and the chairman of FGR being a weirdo vegan. 

There's definitely a middle ground between radio silence, and making yourself look a twat by ranting and raving at all comers. Ken has yet to find it. Probably deliberately.

Storey's article is really disappointing. Chronologically incorrect at the beginning, and saying nowt of substance, other than what is common knowledge.

Nothing new to us who follow the ins and outs of the club but the likes of f365 are reporting to people who usually only read about the Prem and top European clubs.

i read a post from another of our fans who is clearly yet another accountant amongst our fanbase

 

stating we are trading insolvently

could a real accountant tell me what trading insolvently actually means....and are we?

Basically trading knowing full well we’d have no way of paying bills and would have to bust the club eventually.

should the EFL money mean we can pay the bills, then no we are not trading insolently.

I hope this EFL money is significant because it seems like it has to stretch quite a way

Fair point Frank, though perhaps more important he gets it a bit more accurate.

Seemed a bit half arsed. Conn's is better.

We are, or rather we were. Only ken and his finance team would know if we truly are now. But the fact we can never pay anyone indicates we are actually trading insolvent.

But many clubs are. And in the fucked up of world of football it allowed to happen.

I know it's old ground; but given the large reduction in players' wages, and apparent non payment of bills, what is happening to the money that is actually coming in?

Is it really that paltry that we can't afford hot water at the training ground?

If it really is that simple that we're not generating sufficient cash to function at this base level, then administration seems inevitable.

From what I can tell there'll be 4 main income streams:

* Telly money

* Matchday 

* Merchandise

* Corporate Events

 

The Telly money isn't exactly Premier League

Matchday will be fairly shit as 75% is already paid by ST holders

My son has a £10 bob hat with BWFO on it.

Little Mix

 

I would imagine the cashflow is dreadful.

Bunch of absolute fucking retards. 

Hope bury fans smash them all over the show. 

T-shirts, counter t-shirts, mental statements, tit for tat between "professionals" and now this.

Id rather Wanderers be hated than seen as an absolute laughing stock, these are truly miserable times.

Hence ken constantly pushing tickets, events and merchandise in his notes.

Yet he gets berated for that too.

Getting completely fed up of all these "reports" coming out

None of them add anything new, many are inaccurate (that SKY one!!!!) and most just appear to be written by, or on behalf of attention seekers desperate to jump on today's bandwagon

Any "serious" articles all appear to be generated on the pretext of promoting how "esteemed" Iles is, so to me there's a nice little media cabal in the background generating nothing but useless white noise

Have to say though that Ken's note today really made me belly laugh. Fucking brilliant. One shyster has a go at another and gets a full bodyslam back. He gained a bit of respect from me for that

Incorrect sir. If your assets are more valuable than your liabilities then you are not trading insolvently. It's when the liabilities (Loans to Warburton, James, Davies etc) exceed the assets. To put it simply, if he borrows £20m against BWFC assets & the asset value is only £19m then this, along with an ongoing loss-making business, would mean that you are insolvent.

Well considering our assets were commonly seen to value around £100m before the training ground sale, Ken can spend the fuck up!!

I know what I want

I want him to directly address this quote about bankrupting the club not being an issue to him

instead  he has now twice avoided it saying he won't lower himself to respond

before lowering himself with some tit for tat link about once of the guy's businesses struggling

to be fair, I get it, when people say "I won't grace that with an answer" it's because they have no answer

so it's probably true

There is plenty more he could have said about Vince but maybe thinks that would be unethical(?).

Unethical?  I'd rather think he was saving the real diet for his next reply.

If it was true, its probably a case of a threat from the carrot muncher meet by a counter threat from Ken all in the heat of the moment.
