Adver were going to put it on the front page, seems Sam pre-empted them.

Yes hopefully it'll be sorted, but one wonders about the true financial situation - cash flow, or something deeper.

otib will implode

I really cant be bothered to do this again.

see what the club say before I properly react

Given we just turned down £3.5m for Luongo, it seems Power is a bit of a tosser when it comes to paying bills.

Yeah, I think he's probably a sell his own grandma type. Hopefully it'll be resolved quickly.

Maybe he's got carried away with the new corporate trend of not paying anything for 90 days.

More from www.swindonlinksport.com 's Sam Morsehead

He waits for the red letter like most of us south Londoners do soapy tit wank

Shah said the new notice was simply part of a formal process, but #stfc's dispute with HMRC had been dealt with.

Seems a non-story before its even hit the shops so to speak...

He waits beyond the red letter, he ignores the deb collector guff, avoids the knock on the door and then pays when the press gets hold of it,  Id=f he wasn't our owner he'd be a cock, as it is, lovely.

The Adver is hastily reprinting all of its front pages.  Something about a cat stuck in a garden shed in Pinehurst.

Ffs someone put up that post of the woman trapped in her house as a mattress is blocking her door.....

Was in public domain, needed reporting, was reported, club responded, appears sorted.... We move on.

Mr Moosehead has reported and thus proven he isn't a club patsy (don't think most of us ever thought he was but it was suggested by some supporting the Advertiser)

I think Mr Power is one who likes to drag out his terms, and possibly query every thing which he is fully entitled to do.

I wonder whether this is related to the already reported tight cash flow through lack of home games and the club trying to delay payment and the revenue not agreeing?

I hope she is still there!

Assuming this has something to do with our cash-light January?

haha the comments section is the best

Whilst I accept this is a bit of a non-story, it is beginning to piss me off that LP and his brinkmanship seems to be the way the club is now run financially.

I think we, as fans, deserve better than this

@BBCWiltshire: NEWS: Swindon Town says it expects a winding up order to be dropped after paying an outstanding tax bill in full.

Non-story.

Does the Club have an FD these days?  I'm guessing not.

Absolute comedy gold.

I don't think there is one designated, but aren't Anderson and shah accountants by trade? I'd echo Audrey's comments, this kind of stuff doesn't make us look good

...or even a Financial Controller/Chief Accountant.  We need someone in there who can manage the day to day cashflow.  Agree that it doesn't look good.

Maybe we could get Sandy Gray back in?  Only problem is she wouldn't be able to handle the VAT.

Or even a Samdy Gray!!

Club Statement up, which indicates that this is a hangover from the ownership wrangle.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/club-statement-2253139.aspx

It's a bit tiresome. Doesn't reflect well on the club no matter how you look at it.

If the bad publicity we're getting is the price to pay for removing the vile slimy evil scumcunt McRory from this club it is a price worth paying. It just shows the amount of work that is going on behind the scenes to remove that cancerous piece of fucking filth from this club.

Yes, doesn't reflect too well - but why does the Adver make it their top - and only - story ob the front page, and when you turn to page 2 you are told that it has been paid in full and the end of the matter!!!  And they wonder why they are not invited to press conferences!!!

OTIB are creaming their pants over it talking of 10 point deductions and going out of business #clutchingatstraws

Otib is great,  just reinforces a lot of my thoughts  :D

makes the yellows forum seem more educated and mature.

OTIB users are just irritated that a club like ours is up there challenging against such a giant like them at a fraction of the cost. I'd love it if they finished 3rd on the final day of the season before being bundled out of the playoffs by the team who finishes 6th.

Preferably by a good footballing side like Chesterfield.

One of the disadvantages of making an enemy of the local paper - what is to stop them sensationalising the story when the club has burnt all the bridges....

They were doing articles like this before they were banned, that's why the club got pissed off in the first place. The Adver were the ones that burnt the bridges...

Sam's tweeting that the winding up order was dropped, but then some guy turned up asking for money owed regarding solicitors payments. Sounds like a classic 70's farce being played out in public...

I swear they owe me a fiver.  Im nipping down the court.

Bill paid to HMRC but we owe a company called St John Law (who are in administration themselves) some money.

As SR says, this is farcical and more than likely a total non-event.

Wasn't that Power's old lawyers, which Power said had been paid, a few months back.

Odd that Power has not paid the lawyers but now he is forced to and back to Court on March 9 for this to be heard.

I think Power claims this should be against him and not the club, but just another thing to be paid, I'm sure he just forgot to pay the bill, left the invoice in the board room and went back to Switzerland and the cleaner came in and cleaned up and it then got misplaced.

It probably is nothing. But its a bit tiresome to read about unpaid bills every flipping week.

just because a company is in administration does not mean you do not have to pay monies owed. The receivers of said company will peruse you if there is an outstanding invoice against you. Shah & Power know this. They may or may not know of any more debt outstanding but if they do, using the current HMRC situation is an idea way to deferring payment up until they have to, like 9th March. St. John Law turned up because of the HMRC winding up order. They would not want to be excluded from the creditors list if the HMRC were successful. HMRC do not have primacy over a companies debt like they used to. That said STFC could now dispute any invoices that are claimed to be owed to them thus either keeping money in the bank or buying time to get some to eventually pay if it is legit. It's a game played out every working day in this country by business, rightly or wrongly. Trouble is with the previous maverick board woodworm does always appear straight away....

Still rumbling on then

Nothing to see here...

So we owe money to Guatemala now  :sherlock:
