Anyone seen the interview with Wotte? It's been on loop on SSN. (well not technically an interview, a short 20second clip with him in the car at staplewood) Basically, he seems a bit cheesed off with the whole thing His words - ''This has been one of the most ridiculous pre-seasons of my life. I sat down with Matthew last week, who told me they would be looking to bring an English manager into the club. This has been the problem at this club for the past 5 years, too many managers'' Not a happy bunny...

We'll know who it is/who it was within the next 48 hours anyway (well tbf probably 24 hours) So let's just hold tight a little bit longer.

We have to, if we don't - then it's over for Pinnacle and we'll go round the houses with another 21day exclusivity period. And that will cause all our out of contract players to give up and go IMO.

I wouldn't even do that tbh - I'd get the club and bloody well forget about the -10. There are more important things to do. I.E - Players / Manager/ and winning those 4 games to write the -10 off.

There is nothing to stop it. This is why it is in the best interests of EVERYBODY to get this deal done within the next 24 hours, now the league have made their stance - we are now no longer ''unsure'' of how they stand. Now the ball is back in Pinnacles court - please don’t let this drag any longer than it should...

What a load of complete and utter guff from the FL. Completely dodged around the issue, without giving any explanations at all. (well – that’s because there aren’t any) Utter joke. At least we now know what we did at 7am this morning...

I really really hope not, but it's been my fear since we went into admin.

A CVA is basically where the company in 'administration' agrees to pay its debts and has satisfied the requirements of its creditors. Now here’s the tricky bit in our situation, it is only possible to issue a CVA to a company in administration - SLH is in administration and SFC isn't. Pinnacle haven't bid for SLH, instead they've bid for the assets instead – these are not in administration so do not require a CVA. As SLH is being wound up, it also will not be able to produce a CVA to satisfy the FL's requirements. Take a look at this: http://www.accountancyage.com/accountancyage/news/2195698/leeds-enters-league-without-cva I think our outcome will be similar to this. As the FL held an 'emergency' meeting over Leeds status too.

But I think the question may be....what actually is the points deduction they will now make us accept?...I’m absolutely ****ting it here tbh.

Another article full of pointless drivel...written by the sun.

Thanks again tony - this is such a breath of fresh air - we're not used to being kept in the loop like this! Seriously, all the best - you're doing a great job. I really really hope we can start thinking about football matters soon.

IMO it'll be B. It’s to discuss the ‘exceptional circumstances’ as to which we can be added to the league without a CVA, plus any additional point penalties...that's my take on it anyway.

I’d love to think that could happen, but I very much doubt it tbh - that would open up a huge can of worms that will just cause a cascade effect through the entire football league - they will not let this happen. Which is why (imo) they are now clambering around trying to find other ways to get out of this, or reasons to punish us even further.

That's been my biggest fear since day 1...

But this is where they've got us. if we do that, they will not transfer our share - so we will not be able to start as a league club.

It just sounds so dodgy though doesn’t it? It’s like the FL are begging us not to sue/take them to court - as they know their case is completely flawed. So they are using all their powers to make sure we are not in a position to do so. Utterly disgusting, but predicable.

There’s the problem - there just isn’t the time to mount a legal case/court battle. It could take months.

I'd just get on with it with -10 tbh. If we fight it we won’t win, as the FL always win. We'll only end up with even more point’s deductions...or even worse – a non-league club. ....please don't shoot yourselves in the foot pinacle, with the right backing, even with -10 we could have a chance next season...

Top man tony - thanks for the message. I don't envy you guys at the moment; it's a nightmare for us and we’re only on the outside... good luck...

I wonder if it'll be a case of.....''If we do let them back in our league, it will have to be with -30....'' I have a horrible feeling we could be facing more points deductions, because they simply ''do not like the way'' our deal is structured. As we know, the FL just completely make it up as they go along – and until one of the big governing body’s actually stand up and confront of the FL...They’ll just continue to kill clubs off.

I think you're completely spot on - this development is a complete disaster.

don't even joke about it...!

I have no idea if you're right or not, but there is a reason why the names haven't been released in the media yet - they don't want to be known. so how about you keep that kind of info close to your chest until we're over the line?....

At last! After all those Fridays... Great news...not quite there yet, but it'll take an absolute disaster for it to fail now. After reading through all the articles it seems that the offer has been agreed in principle with the creditors too, so it all looks to be in place for a smooth ending to all this. Is there anything MLT cannot do for this club? Time for a statue I think
