The 125% bond is £2.34m So a month's wage is £1.88m x 13 month's, as they pay 28 daily, that's £24,440,000m pa. If they sort everything out they're already on -8pts & counting & due to pay £6.1m out of whatever funds they get (if any) straight away. Lovely, &, as they say, jubbly. I love that the owners promised three sums, ranging from £700k to £20m. There's nowt like having a contingency. They've spoken before about reducing the wagebill, I'm not sure whether it's 'by' ⅓ or 'to' ⅓. These sums, from £24.4m will be to a wagebill of either £8.12m & £16.25m. If the above £6.1m (so £2.12m or £20.15m) has to come out of it even the top line £20m being put in isn't going very far. Especially as their miniscule fan base isn't able to fund the operation and they have precious little of value to sell. ... & this is a. Taking them at face value b. Giving them maximum numbers. Tick ⏰️ Tock. I’m sure i read somewhere that their weekly wage bill is £150k? Someones way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnywhite Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Like the bit that the national insurance was two months behind till they got the injection of cash . So that wouldn’t have been payed since the last cash injection by the owners the inland revenue will be looking at them closely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyStardust Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Quote With money owed to HMRC, there is a growing feeling a winding-up petition could be issued in a bid for find out whether the owners are willing to continue funding the club. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65805738 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let all the plastic fans watch their favourite franchise from the comfort of their front rooms every week - and leave a league behind that was competitive for normal football fans. Don't think that all the big clubs don't have normal, innocent fans Look at the fans reactions when it came up the other season No one other than owners who want to make money want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Even if it’s true and they have a buyer, the purchase of a football club takes months as we well know. There’s a lot of wages to be paid before any deal is completed. Personally i think it’s just a smokescreen dreamt up by the current owners. ”We didn’t pay the wages, because we are close to selling the club” Yeh right.

Moderators Casino Posted June 4, 2023 Moderators Share Posted June 4, 2023 If true, about a sale, thats most disappointing But another -3 gives em a mountain to climb And im guessing they will default on the wages each pay day til it goes through Fwiw, i find it unlikely that anybody buys at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
