SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Trumps accountants did a fine job of reducing his tax liabilities

What the **** has this got to do with anything?

I am not sure what a person who bought the club would be buying? Is RM selling SUFC as in the football club (presumably plus debt) alone, SUFC + RH, SUFC + FF, or SUFC + RH + FF? Some of these combinations seem more attractive than others.

My recollection of the Luton experience was that they had a very vocal and active fan-base led by Nick Owen among others. Do we have a Nick Owen? Luton is definitely the example that gives me some hope.

Different bidders could be after different things so no point trying to work out what is for sale. It will all depend on the buyer and what they want and what Ron is willing to sell for the right price.

Is that the what3words location for Benfleet Road?

Simple questions and sorry if it’s been covered. The club have sold 2000 season tickets which would have generated a significant amount of money. At an average of 200 that would be 400k - easily enough to clear HMRC. Has this money been stolen from the club? Where has it gone. Could this be a criminal act by Ron and could be the shrimpers trust pursue legal action against Ron personally on behalf supporters for mis selling a product that was never going to exist.

There are other things to pay for, not just the HMRC debt. 400k wouldn't touch the sides

Let’s try and work it out. At a guess the playing budget -lie circa 1million? That’s 83k per month. We know he’s not paying other staff. Where’s the other 316k

I believe 20% of all Ticket and Season Ticket sales are VAT that the club are collecting on behalf of HMRC, so expect yet another Winding Up order soon.

Ok so take off 20% VAT that’s still 252k that the club should have

Which is less than owed to all the creditors on the wup.

Honestly Ron is scum but sometimes I wonder just how unsustainable football can get

Didn’t we pay £125,000 of the hmrc amount in that timeframe?

I thought it said we reduced it by 25k

Plus of course. probity. integrity, openness, honesty, decency, trustworthiness, sincerity etc

Words that have very much been in play for many a long year however, are--

unscrupulous, crooked, dodgy, conman, shady, double dealing, slippery etc etc

 

[Blue Yonder]

The club costs £200k + per month to run. The 400k less Vat doesn’t last two months. Nothing has been stolen.

Ronnie wouldn’t know any of the first set of words even if he was being rogered hard by one of them

 

[Strykr]

You mean he was. Maybe the difference is more to do with the manager?

Could well be, although i think his pace and size is dealt with more easily by L2 defenders.

Would it really come as any sort of a shock if it turned out that money or assets had been embezzled or misappropriated from the club ??

Doesn’t cost that much to run if you don’t pay any bills or wages

Says Ron……

Only the accounts can prove this and they are still…. Unaccountable

nothing has been stolen is not a fact until it can be proven. He said the club had been adequately capitalised so where has it gone?

How is the club loosing 200k a month when we supposedly don’t pay rent for RH and our playing budget is circa 83k a month. We must turn over more than 1million a year

Ron stated RH costs money but the Ceo said the certificates were not a problem in the statement to the shrimpers trust

Would be interesting to know the income we get from the league, parachute money and academy money to try and work out how we come to this mythical 200k a month figure
