SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Smiffy]

Yep. At one stage, no ****er had received a penny but then a few were eventually paid. Those who could have done a lot of damage by "doing a Łopata". The vast majority have been asked to wait.

A sad and sorry state of affairs.

So the “assets” have been paid, is what I think we can gather.

Cav, Collin, Bridge, Ollie, Gus?

But some still not under contract i guess, so could still walk?

 

[dusterman]

What a way to split a group of players. Sell up you ****.

 

[Shrimper]

What a ****

 

[Smiffy]

Recap and summary for those that like the straight up facts.

1. Club not sold, yet.

2. Some players paid for June (assets) but most haven’t been.

Happy Saturday folks

I’m done with SZ for the weekend at least. Personally, I think it gets worse before it gets better, and by that I mean players potentially “doing a Lopata”. Be interesting to see who is there on Monday.

 

[Holy Joe]

I thought it was when you were two months behind that opens some loop hole but I am not 100% sure

From the guidance, I think it was FIFA website or something, that certainly appeared to be the case, I think it needed to be repeated lateness rather than a one off. But Lapota managed to get his contract null and voided after much less time, I think by the time it became public knowledge the club was already going to appeal, and just before the appeal the wages were brought up to date, from memory around 1 month late.

Out of contract players can obviously walk now. The unpaid players I imagine could start the process of claiming breach of contract - I don't think a legal expert would advise to not turn up on Monday - and from Lapotas experience get a judgement within a couple of weeks

Aside from the moral reprehensibility of this - and the cynicism - how on earth is Maher expected to maintain a unified dressing room if this how the club owner is going to behave?

Outrageous to think that some playing and support staff still not being paid.

Especially when our glorious chairman lives in his big house. Seems he’s quite savvy when it comes to his personal wealth, but everyone else can go **** themselves

 

[BEERMONSTER]

Yes Please and PDQ !

Just wait for the next episode of players walking to hurt poor Ron's pride, so that he spunks even more club money down the drain on legal fees to fight said players when everyone around him is telling him he'll never win.....just like with Łopata.

Then there will be even less money to pay wages.

Repeat ad nauseum.

This sale has to be completed next week or that could be it

 

[Boreham Blue]

The most depressing bit of this is that it's not what is the best of two options. In the next 2 weeks we could have a bright new future or go out business. It feels that stark!

 

[Shrimper1985]

It's a completely disgusting situation. And I can't stand the man....but if we are to see any glimmer of hope here it's that he's made sure the 'assets' have been paid, so as not to lose them. This suggests he is still trying to sell the club before 12th. At least I really hope and pray

- It’s for 14 days that players have been asked to wait, so the urgency is there around the date of the next court appearance.

- A few posts are suggesting that the potential buyers are taking a bit more time as they need it. Suggestions that it could be rushed if another buyer comes in - but maybe it’s better for the long term for time to be taken here.

- Ron is talking as if it is sold. I do see some credit that he may let the club go bust, but think his safer bet for planning and his millions is to sell. So I think it’s positive that the word sold is used, rather than estate agent from Colchester and refinanced

If I were a player. I would be annoyed of course, but it’s not the club doing this, it’s the owner. I’d give it the 2 weeks and see where it’s at. Another 56 day adjournment and that would be it for me there though. I’d press the button on getting my agent to ask around though.

For the staff - jeez. I can’t start to feel their frustration.

This could be a very depressing week ahead.

I agree with what you said, although I don’t want no more adjournments on 12th, it’s like us dragging on, while we are slowly dying with life flicking before our eyes.

Fixtures out on the 5th?
