Some Club Staff Salaries Late/Embargo Chat - now resolved (for now)

[Tampa Blue]

The only real hope we have is a ownership change.

Let’s hope the VAT verdict speeds that process along

What are the rumours about a fruity soft drink?!?!?!?!? Can someone PM if not allowed on a public forum.

Glad all staff have been paid now.

Since being at the club, Tom hasn't had any time off. The fella, is keeps the plates spinning.

I'm under the impression, he didn't realise just how ****ed we was on the Financial front. Probably, gives him a headache from a legal solicitor bkground.

I agree with a previous post, he is taking bullets for Ron.

Hopefull, that there be more clarity from the meeting this week.

I wish, the club could let us know. I wouldn't mind putting a couple of pounds for a god
fundme page for staff and support the club and staff especially on the wages front. This just leaves a sour taste for everyone.

The next 2 years is critical for club do we come off life support and re born again. Which I have great belief with Tom nStan around. Or, do we go down faster than the titanic.

What is paramount, is we all got to stick together and support the club rise from the phoenix!

Many on here stated it would depend on our summer recruitment before they renewed the season cards. Apart from a brief spell after Christmas, we had very few ‘Extras’ turn up last season. Due to so many cancelled/midweek games and a mid table finish. Hopefully that won’t be the case this season.

“Football is results business” is often quoted by us fans. If Kev signed just a couple of average players this summer and we have 2 points after a tough opening 4 games…… Nobody will get paid all season.

If non playing/coaching staff aren’t being paid, annoying for those individuals but you can’t take it from the building or the player budget. Speculate to accumulate is not the crime some on here are claiming….. It is actually the solution.

True and I’m sure advice hundreds of companies going out of business each month would welcome.

Even good businesses with good people fail- I have assisted more than one customer in the past with deferred payments, revised payment schedules so they can stay in business - sometimes I got the money, sometimes I didn’t. They weren’t not paying people because they were incompetent or bad.

You are dead right, businesses that can't pay wages are not nesseserily incompetent, 99% of the time its down to cash flow issues. The problem for us is that our club is owned by a small time operator who has always been out of his depth regarding financial stability.

We are aware, and are due to have a Liaison Meeting this week (postponed from last). It will be raised, as payment of wages, always is at our meetings.

We almost always got from Patrick that all wages were paid and up to date. I expect the same thing this week, but will press harder on the evidence I have heard myself.

Which staff haven’t been paid, mgmt? Players? Or office staff? I only ask as i know that my 2 family members have been paid

I know you are likely to be vey busy at the meeting, but if you do get a couple of minutes to spare, could you try to get quick update on the proposed bike rack?

He's not been paid on time so hasn't invested in any new joggers. The bike rack will still be visible during the half time pitch forking!

I will do. This is firmly under the umbrella of SUCET, they are the ones who have the grant for it - @Tinks might be able to find out from April before the meeting though.

I am only going on what's been said here - Academy staff and players, office staff, etc. It would help to know which department your family members work in.

They are office staff, they have not been paid late in a long time, thats their words not mine. I only know as i covered both rent payments for them when their were issues

You should know by now surely not to go by what is said on here :-)

Out of interest and in an attempt to get some clarity on this situation, are your family members ticket office staff? If you don’t wish to divulge that’s fine.

Not sure why that needs to be known as office staff are office staff surely

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

Is there any reason why people don’t seem to believe there are people at the club that haven’t been paid?

We have had situations in the past I believe where some office staff have been unaffected, but other office staff have that’s all. “Office staff” can obviously cover a number of different internal departments.

There's Academy office staff, SUCET office staff, ticket office staff and SUFC office staff - I wouldn't want to be putting it out there where my family were though!

Because “there’s no proof”

Can see what your saying but i look at all office staff as one and not in departments or separate

And i dont plan too

People seem to believe me when I say about incoming players or anything positive though
