Transfer embargo - Page 10

Tesco are are involved in sponsoring football skills for kids over the summer hols. There are already a number of events lined up at Hyndburn Sports Centre for the end of July/early August - one of only 4 places in Lancashire. I suspect it has something to do with the bribe money paid for the new supermarket.

As regards individual team backing, I'm not sure if any of the supermarkets sponsor individual teams, other than Waitrose who do Reading (on the basis their HQ is just outside the town).

Just a couple of quick hits on that:

Stanley (as in a famous brand)
Crown Ground (as in a famous paint firm not to far from the Ground itself)

After reading the last three pages, to say I am worried is an understatement. Whilst I understand the need to have the books straight prior to submitting them, the longer this carries on, the more worried I become. Are the club going to be ready for the start of the new season? It would appear the club are lurching from one crisis to another.

Read that Coley had 14 triallists.

They are going to want to get fixed up with a club as soon as possible and the best of them will be.

This is total nonsense. I quote from the LT:

"The club have finalised the accounts, which have been complicated by the Reds’ recent financial problems, but have been awaiting final confirmation of the opening balance for the year from their accountants. That is now said to be imminent.

Managing director Dave O’Neill has been working on the accounts..."

From reading this, the only thing that has been finalised is their operating statements (i.e. their P & L) for the year 2008/9; if they have not yet agreed upon a revised opening balance then they have not yet agreed upon their accounts. But even allowing for that, for a company with a turnover of less than £1m then I am absolutely perplexed as to why it has taken a year to agree on what cash came through the door and what went out.

Other than that, we've all been here before and got the T-shirt. How can we forget O'Neils statement last October that the HMRC dosh was all but collected in full when in reality only £90K or so was there and had it not been for IK and PM turning up at the court there would now be no ASFC. This man is an absolute disgrace.

This is worrying: "We might be a little behind in terms of tax due at the moment...".

Does it mean that O'Neill doesn't know, despite the state-of-the-art accounting system that the club's had for two years? Or does it mean that we are, indeed, behind with our payments? And, if so, is there any arrangement with HMRC to pay them late?

Don't these journalists ask obvious questions any more? Or has he just printed a club press release and stuck his name on the top?

Well late last night Telegraph Reporter who seems to be a member here, was online reading the latest stuff online, so i would reckon the answer is yeh,

just checked it wasn't the guy who printed the article, it was a lady who was online,perhaps his labourer. lol

And that chap 'STANLEY HOPE' featured in the Headline again !!...and I note that your quote Wyn starts with..'HOPEFULLY we MIGHT (I don't care much for that word either !) be able to get it ...etc..etc.
In all hopefulness, I really do hope that whoever reports on our Chairman (?)'s pronouncements would for once refrain from hoping that 'STANLEY HOPE' will sort the whole situation relating to Club Accounts, HMRC and Embargos to everyones satisfaction !...STAN is the Man !....I Hope !!.

Salutations to you !!
