Nope, no money from me for Skacel,Barclays, the Plod,paying David Jones or the other accountant wallah,BWP,Euell or Wayne Thomas.

Washing his car on St George's Day, I think that by some antique byelaw or other you can get hung drawn and quartered for that.

All of the promotion spend and more was recovered from player sales in the close season afterwards,we even made money on the affair, it's not what we spent but what we got for our money that's the problem. The real culprits are people like Idiakiez,Jesus, Vignal,even Claus, vast sums of money for absolutely sod all result because they just didn't play every game ,week in week out but took us for massive amounts of money all the same. You look at Lloyd James, he's played what 38 games or so this season on 3K (or less) a week,you take Vignal 23 games for a year at 10K (or more) a week. At the end of the day the result is about the same,give or take 4 points (which make a difference of course) the difference in cost is enormous. 520K against 150K.

someone would always find new loopholes to get round the system. If the same system was strictly applied European football would become more interesting as you wouldn't have 3 clubs who have the biggest debt in the semis of the Champions League every year .It would perhaps become as before with finals of Steua Bucharest against Schalke 04 for instance (don't know if that ever happened).

But that's what the league say isn't it. SLH is solvent but dragged down by the debts and losses of it's wholly owned subsidary SFC Ltd. That line of argument makes our case even worse. It's a fair cop, we just need to accept it and move on.

Eucalypta? quite apt really, Paulus the Woodgnome was a dutch thingy.

Heaven forbid the the football league ever adopt the French system though. All clubs have to subject their accounts to the DNCG (Direction Nationale de Controle et Gestion) and if you're bad boys you get relegated, or not promoted. If you're not really bad but not so good either they oversee recruitment or stop it altogether until you get your act together. That's why French football is only good on a national level and the clubs, even the best are zero on a European level.You just can't owe money, the DNCG won't have it unless some rich entity underwrites a guarantee for the debt.For many year Monaco were outside the scope of the DNCG, they got to the European cup final on 6000 home gates, when their finances were scrutinised by the DNCG they escaped relegation on the last day of the season and had their recruitment restricted for the following year.Stasbourg didn't want to sell Schneiderlin (apparently) but the DNCG told them to get 6 million euros in sharpish or be retrograded to the National League (D3) immediately after being relegated from the first division.They sold all their decent players but look like going straight back up anyway. Imagine if the Football league could make you sell players to balance your budget.

10 guineas from here on, got to buy some hi-tech buckets.

As I said yesterday, I just wish the guy would can it from time to time.

A penalty? we'd probably miss it anyway.

I just wish they'd all left last summer, like the plan.

It means that he probably won't get paid this month, if not this month next month.

I don't care if the bloke wears a polyamide tracksuit and jesus boots as long as he's got stacks of folding.

Depends how much money he's talking.

the law and football league rules aren't one and the same thing, unlike SLH PLC and SFC Ltd.

but as they're already too expensive for the CCC,they're much too expensive for League 1.

Just let him get on with getting a buyer and leave the side show to someone else.

I thought it was some sort of Iron Sulphate crystals, partially anhydrous perhaps.

who cares about the administrators anyway.

Not appoint Stuart Gray, take David Moyes on his terms instead as we f*cking well should have.

that will make it worse, they just won't let us be in the league till it's sorted out. Hence the request to the Blue Square as reported yesterday. They give us -10, we don't like it and appeal, they can't let us play so in the Blue Sq,perfect logic really.They therefore anticipated an appeal.and we no doubt anticipated -10. I certainly did because it's logical .

because it's a parent company and parent have to assume the actions of their offspring so to speak. At some time last year the PLC and the FC were run by 2 different boards, some common members but a lot weren't.

I think a comparison of the half year accounts to December 2007 and the full year accounts to June 30 2007 will provide the answer to that question. Personally I can't remember the position at 30/12/2007. I have looked it up 30/12 OD 6.14 million with more receivables than payables by 1 million or so. 30/6 despite getting money for Burley and Walcott and ST income OD 6.62 million with more payables than receivables. I'm not an accountant but if I read that in any standard thesis then I'd say that the debt went up from 30/12/7 to 30/6/8

The league's statement says that the PLC was solvent and all it's grief comes from the FC.

In fact our ordinary debt is relatively minor, it's just the Stadium debt (on a long term mortgage) that boosts it to 30 million.
