A 42 day adjournment to allow a takeover. Who's going to buy the club with no assets or players, sitting in the Essex senior league.... which is a reality now.

This feels like it's the end of us but we're just been strangled further by Ron's BS for another month. This is all bo##cks!

not sure that is even a reality to be honest. if we get kicked out of the National League it will be a full season without football for us before we get put in something like the Eastern Counties league in the 24/25 season

The bit about fit and proper seems to have been shall we say a little "overplayed" by the club. Kimura have already done it but FA says normally 2 weeks but can take 4 weeks. If the new bidder hasn't had the foresight to do it already then surely given the perilous situation they would get that out of the way now? So I wonder what the real reason is they need all this time? Possibly DD?

But I am at a loss why a bidder would pay off all our WUP and football debts (a very considerable sum) without the sale completed? So maybe he thinks that is coming from somewhere else? We have 3 weeks until the season starts so in reality he has maybe a week to get that sorted or we will be in no fit state to compete?

Surely this isn't all one big game to squeeze final concessions out of Kimura? Does he think the 42 days means he's no longer negotiating with his back up against the wall?

All true and all possible.

Back to the house buying scenario. Im sure some on here have spent money on property after they have exchanged but before completion. I certainly did with a fire damaged house I bought. To prevent further damage and looting etc.

Could that be the same with a football club?

Horrendous. No way back from this unless a takeover with a credible owner (that doesn't involve Martin or his buddies), happens before the season starts, AND the NL show some mercy. Lots of Iff's and But's involved. It's a sick merry go round and I think we've all fu##ing had enough of it!
 
We cannot continue under an Embargo.
We cannot sign or register players, so without sufficient numbers we would not be able to fulfil our fixtures.

Let alone all the other issues. Lack of medical is significant, staff salaries is beyond a joke and not paying bills on time is criminal, so how the he'll does this man get away with it?

As I have mentioned before, please Ron just sell up and FO.
 
Not sure this is the right tread but is it possible to check who has been issued with a FA fit and proper test other than Kimura?

very true, my point is why should we believe it for this adjournment. Personally do not believe a word he says.

I used to take around 4 boxes a year buy 2 season tickets, book centre circle lounge hospitality, book captains lounge hospitality as well as sponsor 2 (sometimes 3) players a season. I stopped just before the start of last season for 2 reasons one was RM and the way the club was going and the second was how a certain person in the marketing team handled everything (they have since left). I wil not consider re investing until RM has ZERO involvement with the club.

James Ball by any chance?
