10 point deduction if Ron ****s it up
This makes it all very clear!
southendunited.co.uk
The National League have issued the following statement.
The National League appreciate the current unsettling time for the supporters of Southend United FC and would like to set out the current position.
Following extensive and positive dialogue, including sight of suitable evidence provided by the Club, appropriate steps are being made by the Club to satisfy the League and secure its participation in the 2023/24 Vanarama National League season.
The Club has now cleared the debts owed to football creditors and as such the League has issued a licence for the Club to participate in the 2023/24 Season.
The Club, who can now move forward to commence the season, are also required to fulfil the following conditions:
a. The Club HMRC debt is to be discharged in full by their next court date, 23 August 2023. It should be noted that this remains a requirement from the League even if the court hearing is further adjourned past the 23 August 2023.
b. In addition, having discharged all outstanding Football Creditors, and all HMRC debt by 23 August 2023, it will be a condition of the license to ensure all new or any Football Creditors debts or HMRC debt are cleared on time to the satisfaction of the League at any point during the 2023-2024 season.
Should the above, set out in a or b not be satisfied, the Club will be subject to an immediate and automatic 10 points deduction. This is in addition to any other action deemed appropriate by the League when considering any new debt.
The League has made it clear to the Club the importance that not only the current debt is settled but the Club operates in a manner that ensures they operate sustainably moving forward.

Hopefully now that clears a few things up, and posters can stop making up dates and deadlines for certain things.

Its a very good statement and also very fair. Hopefully this is the final kick up the a*se Ron needs to get out of the club

I just hope we can avoid the 10 point deduction as that could well spoil our season.

Payday on Monday could bring about that 10 pointer before the season even begins...

Sadly though, Ron won't give a **** about that.

One one hand, a great exercise in clarity from the NL. You have to applaud their clear communication and only wish we’d had anything close to similar from our club.
On the other hand… that’s really quite a depressing threat!!

Glad to see progress is being made for you! We (Oldham) will hopefully still turn up in force next week…..I know a few are asking if we should boycott but I think on balance it may be better to help put some £ into the club so you can at least navigate that August deadline

Not an ITK but I don't read it as that.
I assume IF debts are paid off by the next hearing that would satisfy the removal of the embargo, but I don't actually know.

It is a good statement - no wriggle room, holds RM's feet to the fire, separates disciplinary charges from the ongoing saga over the sale of the club and reserves the right to go further if the situation deteriorates.
I'm not sure it hastens the timetable for the sale though. If I were a prospective buyer I would be tempted to use the 23rd August as a Sword of Damocles to dangle above RM's neck.

Can't argue with any of that statement. NL have been extremely patient.

I'm sorry to say this ... if we go all the way to August 24th without paying our debts, we will get relegated.
Our current team won't pick up many (if any) points from the first 4 games so we could be bottom of the league on -10
We need the debt paid yesterday so we can bring players in
