They'll be back and they'll be all the better and stronger for it.

Edit: It is utterly shit for them though and I agree with the MK comment.

At least they've got rid of Agombar senior and his mates.

I assume we'll be getting Agombar Jnr back....

From what I can gather most of them are relieved, as it at least means they're short of Agombar and his cronies. And the bad guys can't get their hands on the ground (which I suspect was what this was about) as it's council-owned so the leases just revert to the council, rather than the ground being up for grabs in the fall-out. A lesson there for us, maybe, with talk of ground redevelopment etc - SBC aren't the greatest landlord, but next time we have a JedCo turn up, it does offer us some measure of protection from the bandits

Bet we never got a loan fee for Agombar Jnr.

Can't we just get shot on the grounds of being guilty by association

I really resent the fact that we got 'tucked - up' with giving him a contract.  It's disgraceful, really. I hope we have got him sweeping the floors, cleaning the toilets etc to 'earn' his pay for as long as he is here.

A difficult time for them I'm sure but at least now they can begin to start again. Hope they do well. I'm sure the FA etc will all take valuable lessons from this to ensure it doesn't happen again in the future.

And only half this post is true.

This is absolutely criminal, and everyone involved, including the FA, should be investigated. A system which allows crooks to destroy a club in this way is itself either corrupt or criminally negligent. Players, staff and supporters have been cheated. Many emplyees went without pay for months. In the long run, most supporters have been saying it would be better for everyone to close down and start again; but it is not better for football asa whole. 25 years ago I had an honorary role at the club. It was not having an easy time on the pitch, but it was an honest, family club, proud of its history, evoking great passion in the city and county of Hereford. This is a sad day.

Spot on RWB. Boy did we dodge a bullet getting rid of Jed when we did. Just pray it's the last we've seen of him.

I'm surprised Agombar has dodged a bullet himself up to now

It certainly should be, but that's the problem - on the face of it they've done nothing illegal. The blame for this, aside from the degenerate scum themselves, has to fall squarely on the FA. Completely fucking useless.

Most of their fans seem relieved so best of luck to them with the new club, although that won't be much comfort to the creditors and employees.
