Pre-Match Thread HMRC v SUFC - FINAL hearing on 1st March. DISMISSED

[Medway Blue]

How long did Vic Jobson die after the sale of the club? Maybe the fact of his death has something to do with the last payment not being forthcoming?

I believe he did pass away before that final installment was paid.

See that’s why I'm thinking it could be a factor in this, I’m not into corporate/contractual law so I don’t know if that would have made a difference at all?!

No it shouldn't have done, I think the final installment would just have been due to his estate, of which his children were probably executors.

Week on and no statement. Pretty disgraceful really

I'm not surprised at all, the lack of respect for fans is zero so why would he. I honestly believe he thrives off being the bad guy. The fact is the club officially haven't told us the outcome of the case and we're relying on the echo which Ron claims tell lies (I don't believe that).

That being said I do expect something on Friday to calm fans down before the potential protest, it normally always work for Ron with a well timed statement full of crap and bull**** that fans continuously buy time after time.

I'm guessing that it would depend on the terms of the contract between Jobson and Ron - but I'd imagine that failure to pay the final instalment would not mean that Ron owns fewer shares - it just means he owes money to Jobson, and as MB says, on Jobson's death the money is due to the estate

Wouldn't be surprised at all if there's a statement Friday, assuring all is fine

Yes there has been some great times when Ron has been owner… but out of all them great times how many are because of Ron rather than the fans/players/management because as I see it you can argue that the good times could have stayed good under better ownership!

Well said !!

But equally, who employed the managers, who sanctioned the signings of the players.

You can dress it up however you like really. You can’t just say everything bad is RM’s doing, and anything good was just lucky.

Pretty empty statement tbh. How about some actual detail and information instead of more empty waffle

As has been widely reported, last week the Judge adjourned the hearing with HMRC to 1 March.

Bit of a pointless statement really, not much information given.

Bit of a pointless statement really, not much information given.

Which makes everything all so more worrying

 

[sufc4life21]

Just copy and paste from previous years! Joke club and that won't change until he sells up.

 

[brigg blue]

After that statement I've changed my vote, I've not got any confidence we will complete this season

 

[Smiffy]

Sorry, did I miss the update or critical info?

Where is the loan you promised in October that was “weeks not months” away?

Is there a signed loan agreement with the lender?…clearly not.

So at this stage, Administration/Liquidation cannot be ruled out in 35 days, just as him finding the money cannot either. We are now in a 50/50 scenario. How wonderful.

 

[Shrimper Brownie]

Joke.

 

[Cricko]

Saying he is committed to getting the bridging loan is hardly reassuring as it sounds like he does not have it in place yet, and he has been saying that since October

 

[Hadleigh-shrimper]

What ever he did is wrong here no statement people moan. A brief one with no info we moan both rightly btw think he’d be better shutting up until funds in place .
