Medical staff

I'm sure as the weeks go on there will be more staff departures. Our management must be thinking what have we got ourselves into.
I would have thought Stan, Kev, knew exactly what they were getting themselves into? Martin has run this club into the ground, non payment of players and staff over recent years, late payments to HMRC, robbing Peter to pay Paul, deluded and total disregard to fans. They would have to be very naive not to be aware of this mans total ruin of SUFC.

A line needs to be drawn in the sand here, the football club, staff, players and the support by the loyal fans should not have to see their beloved club dragged down like it has been by Ron Martin.

Ron Martins businesses and the running of, alleged non payment of taxes, HMRC again, how can he be fit and proper to run a football club!?

I imagine that he hoped by now that FF would have been given the go ahead years ago, which may have saved us going into the lower divisions, however, the finish line maybe that little bit closer, but, so is being relegated further.

After the last statement, it seems days will become weeks, same old Martin Bull*hit!!!
HMRC must be fed up seeing him, whether its for his personal business or for SUFC, paid what is owed and in a timely manner.

What will come first, because the pot is empty, either we enter administration or a buyer,(s) are found. I know Ron has said he will not sell, but, he may not have a choice soon, IMHO.
 
this should be headlines in the Echo ...

Arnold did not receive appropriate treatment ...

How can that be justified ?

Anyone want to read about how dangerous concussion can be - short and long term ..
 
We haven’t had a “fully qualified” physio for some time, neither Amy or Jamie were full physio’s, I believe one was Sports scientist, but both had the necessary league qualifications to go on the pitch.
Yep, haven't had one since Ben Clarkson left. Amy and Jamie are strength and conditioning coaches really. Bordering on professional negligence to not have a fully-qualified and full-time physiotherapist.

Administration might just be our best way out, providing a buyer would step up or we will go to the wall. Ron wouldn't have much of a choice in that situation. Problem is there anyone out there who would buy SUFC?

i think that the administrators would want to sell to a fans led organisation unless Mr Bug turns ups
 
It's a requirement under National League rules that every club must have a physio in attendance on match days. We could be facing discoplinary action for a breach of these rules. The treatment of Arnold's concussion also raises questions as to our adherence to the protocol on head injuries.

Why do you even support the club? It must be really stressful for you.

It's quite shocking to think actually how much of an issue this would be should someone suffer a serious injury, with nobody qualified to handle such a situation.

Could we even go into administration if we have no assets?
I suspect if Ron was to go out of business or pull out we would find ourselves liquidated in pretty short order.

I believe we would still go administration first and then liquidation. The fact we lack assets would simply accelerate us towards liquidation after administration without someone coming in with big £££. I believe this is what happened to Bury.

You only go into administration to protect yourself from creditors...As Ron is the only creditor he will never put us into administration. We'll just be straight wound up!

Well hopefully we owe money to someone else then...

I'm not well versed in financial stuff to be honest. Just going from what I've seen when I've observed the decline of other clubs.

So what you're saying is we need assets and also an external creditor? Can it not be tied to Ron through what he owes in loans to others?

We don't, except HMRC - and they always get paid first.

There is no way we will go into administration as Ron loses everything that is owed to him on the balance sheet (not that he particular wants that back anyway!). It's much better to be liquidated I'm afraid.
Which kind of beggars the belief why he didn't just do that in 2010...anyway I'm veering away from the thread which is about medical staff!

Thanks for explaining. We're properly f*****

Back to medical staff!
