Embargo

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

My understanding of the latest situation of the embargo is that we have submitted the required paperwork to the National League, and we believe we have met the required criteria to come out of it.

It’s now down to the National League.

Whether we have met the required criteria, I don’t know, and I don’t know the full ins and out of what the criteria was, however, as I said before, we believe we have met it.

I don’t know how long these things take, or what is involved. I don’t know if this will be resolved (Criteria met, or told we haven’t met it) before the weekend, or even before the deadline. I can imagine, if we haven’t met the criteria, we wouldn’t be told anyways.

Well that cautiously optomistic. I'd imagine if we have met all the criteria, the embargo would be lifted pretty sharply, it certainly was for Scunthorpe...

Indeed. Good to hear, however, our reputation is probably slightly more in tatters than Scunny

Reputation counts for nothing in these cases, nor does the likelihood of us being in another embargo in a week/fortnight/month/year etc.

IF we have met the criteria, the embargo will be removed. If we don’t, then it will remain.

Hoping beyond hope that this applies to us..............well one can hope

Perhaps the NL think might as well leave in place for a couple of extra days as might mean they can save themselves the trouble of removing and re-applying a few days later

The old "support the team not the regime" is wearing a bit thin now for me because if we don't hurt this man financially he will just continue with his utter contempt for us fans, only thinking about his own personal gain.

His arrogant silence is beyond me and I for one will not be renewing our season tickets and I am certain we are on the right track.

How can you hurt a man financially if he has no finances to hurt. The bills are getting paid by loans if they get paid at all. Boycotting the team, especially at this stage would be ridiculous!

Hopefully Ron isn't involved, because he's not very good at supplying all the information to people so that they can make an informed opinion. Aren't the council still waiting for more information...which has been the case a number of times?

We’re taking about next seasons cards, not this season.

If he has no finances then he should sell the club

What's ridiculous is that C%*T laughing at us all turning up week and week out when he is literally taking us for fools, ignoring us all like the King in the peasant village.

This seems to be the opinion of a lot of people I know and understandably everyone has a limit to the amount of disrespect thrown our way year on year.

You have to support your team through the good and the bad but after around 5 years of 'bad' it does drain the life out you.

Whenever a mate asks 'What the hells going on with Southend' I just never want to talk about it. Too depressing and embarrassing.

Yep, I feel this way now. I can't go into it all when people ask, because it's a nightmare

Did not Scunthorpe sort theirs out in 3 days ?

With previous embargo’s we have sorted it out pretty much straight away when we have been able to.

When we’ve had previous ones just related to HMRC debts, embargo’s have been removed sharpish.

We’ve had the Lopata situation and hearings crop up as well, which has taken priority. Not 100% sure if anything else is related to the embargo that needs clearing.

Why we still in it? Ron paid

 

[meerkat54]

Why we still in it? Ron paid

Think Ron paid tax man and some creditors. But many including staff are still awaiting full payment of wages. Think there bonuses were just pie in the sky .
Don’t think Ron’s ‘bridging loan’ pot was deep enough.
Don’t think we are coming out of embargo any time soon.

 

[Callum]

Show Ron the red card

 

[mattytheshrimper]

Why we still in it? Ron paid

Ron hasn't paid anything, he's 'BORROWED'. Why people can't understand that is beyond me.

Perhaps they don't want to understand. The only way of staying sane!

Slow death of the club.

HMRC don't care where it come from borrowed or not! They have there money and national league know this so why are we still in an EMBARGO?
