So guessing the same outcome as the last court case, evidence of a sale, adjournment and we limp on

Correct. Well, assuming the judge is satisfied with the evidence of course.

Only question is how long is the adjournment and what action will the NL take?...

 

[The Late One]

No doubt one of Rons friends

Has he got any ?? Asking for a friend

 

[Jacob Sladder]

New interest? No chance Ron's turned up in a Tesla, is there?

 

[hlane17]

To be fair they should be very interested in what is said and the outcome. I'd be a little surprised if they have no representative there

They might do, but doubt the main guys would turn up. Way too obvious. Also no doubt fans would feed them any info they needed.

 

[Medway Blue]

Terrifying and sobering to see how easily and swiftly a judge says "no more extensions, I'm serving a compulsory winding-up order".

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

How convenient. A bid comes in just before the case is heard. Timing is everything in Ron's World.

Smithy what’s your opinion on the NL likely action? I think it depends on length of adjournment personally.

Would be interested to know if the trust were able to get some insight around this even if they are not able to share it publicly when they spoke to the league the other day.

What number are we up to in the batting order?

There's steam coming off my F5 button!!!

The adjournment if successful is likely to run into the start of the season.

I'm hoping the NL give us until 31st July to get our **** together. I'd be shocked if granted any longer than that.

 

[Scamps]

I’ve heard a 12 point deduction if adjourned.

 

[hlane17]

I’ve heard a 12 point deduction if adjourned.

Except the NL said they were not considering that the other day when they spoke to the Trust.

If Ron gets 40 days, I can't see NL mirroring it. I think they'll give us every chance they can to get our house in order but won't let us kick off in our current state. So NL, depending on quality of evidence, might give until just before the first game - so 3 weeks or so.

@CRATE Says RM is representing himself fml this scares the absolute **** out of me wtf is the bellend going to say...

Same. Ted Bundy represented himself in court.....

Well if we get an adjournment today and the NL say you have until 31st or your membership is revoked at least it still allows the focussing of the minds and sets a clear deadline for when things have to be done by. I’m clutching at straws that we some how survive and are able to achieve mid table finish this year.

 

[davewebbsbrain]

Someone mentioned to me they heard a rumour that HMRC had been paid. I guess we will find out if that rumour is fact soon enough

 

[Medway Blue]

That's not what the NL suggested, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything anymore.
