Any advance on 4?  Hardship is till there. Apparently they were passing buckets round at their last home game to try and raise some money to pay the wages. That is just plain sad. |

Well, that pretty much shows their story about not being linked companies to be utter cod shit. Why would a stadium company have any bearing on a football teams players being paid?

Did they ever claim they weren't linked? I don't remember them actually having said that. Their argument was always that the legal structure they used meant the club itself wasn't in administration and that the league rules specifically state its when the club itself goes in to administration that the points penalty comes in to play. They thought they were being clever, everyone else thought they were morons - fortunately this included the football league who didn't let them get away with it. I still think they should get an extra penalty for deliberately structuring their company for this specific scenario, which one of their ex-chairman admitted to in an interview. |

They still have potential buyers. They aren't at deaths door yet.

Bad times for Saints, what with Pompey being bought by some loaded Sheikh, kind of rubbing salt into the wounds.
Salt and Sheikh if you like.

They didn't claim there wasn't a link, clearly they were going after the view it was a group of associated companies. My point was that they spent a fair bit of time bleating in the media that the Holding Co and the football club were very seperate entities and the Holding Co going into Admin did not effect the football club (hence why they argued against a points deduction). It's pretty clear the football club and Holding Co were one and the same if they can't pay wages.

To me this looks like the gravest situation any club has been in for quite some years.
Even when we were at deaths door, the sums were usually small enough to mean that someone could plug the holes.

Worst since Wimbledon I reckon, hopefully Wellyn Garden City or any other towns won't be stealing a FL registration this time... |
