Transfer Embargo, Winding Up Petition & Staff Salary Issues

While this is all rubbish and the constant off field nonsense is exhausting.
In terms of the embargo, the squad is well set, no?
Cardwell back is a big boost imo.
Where do we need strengthening?
Though Colin has done really well, I believe that we need a GK and also a creative attacking cm to compliment the existing cm - Hussin is not that player for me.

The icing on the cake would be as someone said last night we 'hope' to score rather than 'expect' to score - whilst a lot of Teams are in that same boat what would we give for a 20 a season player??

Or that bloke who scored his 18 th goal last night. Anyone know if hes unsettled at NC and would like a move down south?
 
For what reason would he want that? In any event, that's a possible consequence of today rather than something that either may happen or any have happened to illustrate the point I was making
It's not that he wants an embargo but his decades of financial difficulties has meant that embargoes happen as well as staff not being paid etc goes on and on.
 
Whats the delay in announcing the outcome?

I suspect it will be the 'as you were', emabargo and all for a couple of months as others suggest.

Is this a wind-up? (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Depends on whether we lose any of our players in the January window.

Hobson's contract is running out and due to the embargo we can't extend it at the moment. Lopata I'm sure is being scouted as well as Kensdale.

If we lost one, am sure we could survive. Two???

The worry for me is that if the money had been paid, all it would need is for HMRC to confirm that and for the case to be dismissed. That would take a matter of minutes. The fact that it hasn't suggests that that is not the case. However, it could also be that the Swindon situation is taking a long time and they haven't even got round to us.

Does anyone know if Swindon have announced anything?
 
It’ll get extended and would probably get extended a further time if he hasn’t sorted out a bridging loan by the time of the next extension.

Winding companies up is a draconian measure that is only ever a last resort so they are going to give every opportunity to Ron to pay up. If you wind up you’ll get pennies to the pound whereas if you give another extension Ron will probably rustle up another loan before his house of cards collapses.

You’d have thought having (regrettably) been through this 30 odd times everyone would know the drill by now.

Still, I look forward to the day the club is on a more sustainable footing under a new owner. Being rid of Ron has never been closer.
 
I thought Lopata wouldnt be able to play for another club this season as he's been registered for us and Sheffield United and your only allowed to be registered with 2 per season.
 
1st October:

Ron: "Bridging finance has been agreed, but has not yet been completed. Once it has (weeks not months) we will discharge the HMRC debt in full"

So we are now nearly 6 weeks on from that statement and it has not been settled.
