Payments to HMRC

[STFC Bart]

Does anyone know what the issue is here?

Surely the new board know the balance- and just pay it. Anyone aware of what the dificult issues are?

I suspect they may try to negociate it down. Along the lines of "We'll give you 50% or the club folds and you get zip"

Of course, they may just be trying to figure out how much we actually owe (see forgetting VAT incidents in the past)

Or finally, they could be on the phone to Ocean Finance seeing what they can do about it.

HMRC arent a normal creditor - thay have no shareholders to appease, just a  dim-witted focus on the rules.

Could it be something to do with HMRC having to agree to have the debt paid by someone other than the original debtor? Bit of a guess, but you never know...

[Simon Pieman]

I'm guessing they want to pay in installments and a very clever chap like you Bartholumeu, would know that this will incur additional penalties and interest.

Or is it that you 'know' something extra but do not want to tell us e.g. Diamandis for 2 years (which we knew he was a thorn in our sides by the way).

[lebowski]

my guess is that fitton either wants to negotiate the amount down, or that he wants assurances that this payment is full and final, and eliminates any further liability for the period prior to his takeover.

in fact i'm sure it's the latter, perhaps in addition to the former.

[Simon Pieman]

how sure are you? 98%  

Bart, if you know somethign just fucking say it lovely

[lebowski]

that's all a total guess, by the way.

i do not have any insider information.

i am pure, and virginal.

 

[Simon Pieman]

can I bum you?  

[lebowski]

yeah bart, ya shit.

I see 000 is upto his old tricks on thisis, he just posted this:

I've heard from a very good source at club that the takeover has again taken a nose dive, as SSW needed to sign and return legally binding paperwork to Fitton and co by 2pm today, or the deal may be cancelled, SSW has not signed and returned the paperwork, as his legal team believe there are problems that are not covered in the agreement, these issues are based around profit shares from any future ground redevelopment, My source has told me this is one step too far for Fitton, who may announce tomorrow afternoon the deal is dead.

He's got it wrong in the past a few times, i think he's another wind-up merchant, i don't believe the above at all, infact i am very confident that this takeover will be permanent very soon.

Yes given the fact solicitors etc are open on Boxing Day? Twat.

What a stupid ploy to try and get people worrying. I guess the kids are off school for Christmas now.
