Today's Court Hearing

[BaileytheQuitter]

Sorry for being naive but could someone tell me whats going on? In simple terms please.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

In basic terms we owe the HMRC £700k, we've not paid so they've begun proceedings to close us down

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

Ouch, so one of the possible outcomes is liquidation?

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Never a truer word spoken........

 

[palexander]

If we DID have a transfer embargo, I'm sure we'd have been told from some source and I'm sure we wouldnt have been able to bring in Sawyer.

 

[Forever A Shrimper]

Never a truer word spoken........

I dislike you a lot, but I did laugh when I read that.

Scannel has swine flu

We haven't signed any players since 1972

During the Summer break Tilson managed to halve his handicap

Rumours afoot that we are looking to re-sign some gypsy bloke or other

Our only central defender is crocked

Wiggy is in fact a young striker who progressed through the academy

Ron is all blogged out

Oh and we might go bust any minute now

 

[The Eternal Optimist]

In basic terms we owe the HMRC £700k, we've not paid so they've begun proceedings to close us down

Could we not just ignore it and turn the floodlights out when some nasty man comes around? Or just say the cheque has been posted. That'll buy us some time. ;)

 

[Davros]

I have this lovely image in my head of two burley bailiffs walking into the changing rooms, picking up a couple of players, and putting them in the back of a van

I bet you have.

They can take the dreadlocked one with a high fever and the old one held together with elastoplasts

 

[Mad Cyril]

Has anyone been down to Roots Hall to see if it has been turned into a pound/fireworks/Christmas shop - the traditional fate of bankrupt business premises in Southend?

 

[Napster]

Adjourned till end of October.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Adjourned till end of October.

3 month stay of execution then...

 

[palexander]

Adjourned till end of October.

Sauce?....

 

[Napster]

Sauce?....

Chairman of the Trust, on the Yahoo Group.

 

[palexander]

Cool, ta - we can breath easy(ier) for now...

(is that Yahoo group still going??! Christ, I was on that 6-7 years ago)

 

[NZamba Legend]

Adjourned till end of October.

Right, lets sign some players and hope that it goes away.

 

[Smiffy]

No surprise.

Let's hope it can be resolved sharp and we can get some bloody players in.
