Very strange. It was only 4 years ago when this happened, HMRC says club is "incontrovertibly insolvent on both a cashflow and balance-sheet basis". And that was despite a one million pound deposit on Roots Hall by Sainsbury's in 2008.

This did give me a laugh when I read it, I have to say.

Thought this thread may bring a little early Christmas cheer............when's the next VAT bill due? Sainsbury's Christmas Crackers have obviously arrived, all containing tons of dosh. It appears we can afford John-Joe's wages........no news yet as to whether we can afford Phil Brown's?

Really not sure that it was wise of PB to come out with that comment. The ramifications may be felt over a whole range of topics, not least when negotiating the deals for players' contracts, both on new deals and renewal of existing. Bet Ron would have preferred him to have kept his cards close to his chest.

anyone feel they might have been mugged off by RM ?

anyone controlling a piece of prime real estate and getting 5 MILLION POUNDS from Sainsburys should be able to operate a well supported Lge 2 football club .......

What supporters should remember is the names of the players who continued play for this club without wages being paid ...

and as for all that how Sturrock saved club stuff - total bollox

How you got to Sturrock I'll never know but show me another manager who would have got the players in at short notice with the reputation RM had?

Sturrock must have really sold the club to these players, the players that not only kept us in L2 but took us to the fringes of L1 and got us a massive 83 points during Sturrock's tenure. So, yes, Sturrock did save the club

If I had a pound for every time I've seen someone explain to you the "£5M from Sainsburys", I'd be richer than the club right now!

Agree 100%. As much as RM took an awful lot of stick for the way he got rid of Tilson (which could have been handled so much better) it was without doubt the best decision for the club. There's no way Tilly would have been able to get enough quality in to a club on its knees in such a short space of time, he just didn't have the contacts a man with Sturrock's many years of experience had. While it certainly wouldn't have been Tilly's fault I do feel we'd have probably ended up in the Conference had he stayed, and in my opinion that's the hardest relegation of all to bounce back up from. So yes I'm surprised that some underestimate the job that Sturrock's did here, even if he couldn't quite get us back into L1 during his tenure.
