At least its from the horses mouth. Lets hope that something is sorted.

If there were standard updates none of the innuendo and rumour would happen.

Venture capitalists could be the end of us, the same as winding up could be.

The one thing we had to do we keep paying hmrc dribs and drabs to gain a possible extention.

We didnt do it. So now we are being held to ransom and not calling the shots.

Not good, lets hope Barrie can be ruthless and get the right deal for welling.

It doesn't sound great. It seems to me that the Hobbins have been a bit naive. All the eggs in one basket does not make a great plan. Looks like they have been tucked up and ultimately the team I have been supporting for 23 years could be wound up. Very sad. I hope that if the club is saved that the fans get more of a say in how the club is run and a have a proper stake in the club.

At least discussions are going on with investors/parties, if there was nothing we would be in serious trouble come Wednesday. Let's just hope something will come out of it.

Barrie

Just say to the investors look its 57k to pay the debts to hmrc.. heres the other debts you need to sort.

If they wont do it then feck them off and go with the loan from Bromley guy.. BUT only if you can sort out a takeover in the loan spell and CUT THE BUDGET To 3k a week IMMEDIATELY.

why the fu/ck we never cut the budget 4 montsh ago i have no idea, and its fine for Jamie to say we will take a pay cut... YOU NEVER DID.

I forgot about the paycut thing. Just assumed it had happened already. So the only one to take a paycut of sorts is Healy?

Healy on full pay so are they all. Daisy was OVER Budget until we went out the cup.

Thats Right... OVER the 4500 budget lol while we were trying to raise money.

Im merrily pissed off that we will take a pay cut was just hollow words. Other cubs slash budgets or play for free ... we were OVER BUDGET and then the WSU paid some of the FULL wages LOL.

Not Barrie and Barrys fault but they should have said up yours ... all non contract players gone.. you have the pick of teh academy and the budget is 3k a week from NOW. or you take voluntary pay cuts. In the end they carried on on full wages.

if wufc are wound up who will run the resurected club?

A committee will start it and if investors or sponsors come in or ex players then that will be decided i would imagine.

A big meeting at a council premises well advertised to the borough and in news papers and to local businesses is a must.

There are many expired fans/sponsors who left for one reason or another..

Lets get the council involved and do it properly not 100 people in the upstairs bar.

Len you cant take over a folded club. You can go into admin if limited.. the Taxman is unlikely to accept a CVA. These investors seem to have no brains.

You pay the HMRC in FULL get embargo off and try and negotiate the non critical debt.

I would worry they have any commercial savvy to bring in revenue anyway and are just after a cheap takeover then asset strip if they can get the ground lease freehold.

No he was never playing for free, one player offered to play for free. Charlie Mitten. Who i hope will be AFC Wellings keeper in their first season.

It's odd, i appreciate them making a statement, but it didn't say anything did it. Not sure how to feel about it.

I wish E&B would just **** off and play somewhere else, so we could make use of their clubhouse :D

Bill if they had taken cuts in august we would have paid half the debt and raised the rest.

Of course its not good they havent been paid was the first week they werent gonna get paid coinciding with crap performances v ebbsfleet and havant? tells you a lot imho.

Theyve played well this year top class, but theyve been paid good money to do so.

Most of them will get good gigs at teams at our level (or above) they will be fine, we will have no club.

Jim all i am saying is they said they would take pay cuts (according to the press) and didnt when there was a lot of time left where it would have gone a long way to paying off a lot of the debt and getting an extention if we raised little else or a take over failed.

It seems like everyone at the club (players/officials) have said they will do this and that to save the club, then what happens, nothing.

Of course it isn't up to the players to help the club by playing for free or taking a paycut, but if they said they would take less wages, then they should have done exactly that.

Im not slagging the players off theyve been immense and are one of the best squads weve ever had not far off the glory days of the 3rd round of the fa cup, 6th in the conference national, QF of the trophy etc etc.

Its just gaulling to hear they will take pay cuts and not to do it, IF we had paid 1500 a week to teh HMRC you would have got an extention and some other investors may have come in. I cant help feel some would have sat back seen if we were learning (Given our record for being shyte commercially) before making an approach. Also all of these investors came to us... why didnt we advertise in the broadsheets and sports papers for investors?

I am furious we never got a big friendly as that too gets you leeway. Making 3 or 4 phone calls is bollocks.

I just pray these investors see that as a blue sq south side and improved ground and community activity we can move on. But i feel they are messing us about and in it to scavenge off us all the time they pratt about moving goalpoasts.
