Frank's cousin Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 Given that we have in effect secured some 2.5 milin the last two days from the McG and Surman sales, can someone who is an expert in these things give an indication as to where this money will go? If staying with the club (that is not in admin....), then surely the wages will be paid and at least we look after the staff and can secue those players who could soon be off following breach of contracts - or does this simply get swallowed up by the administrator (In which case we are in admin and WTF were pinnacle doing wanting this appeal) and divvied amongst the creditors? The timing seems bizzarrre as we were told Pinnacle and possibly the Swiss group still hopeful, given the impact such asset sales will have on the content of any deal/contract... not good.

Doctoroncall Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 FC, this has been going on for nearly two months, SFC is solvent, just and these sales will secure that for a bit longer as it's now needs must dictating. The worst part of this protracted saga is the amount of time left to get in a decent manager and his players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money will go towards the staff and player wages as SFC Ltd are not in administration. Staff are preferential creditors if they were to go into admin.

VectisSaint Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 The money will initially go the Football League as happens with ALL transfers. They will hang on to it until the mess is sorted out, so in truth neither the creditors nor the club can benefit as yet. The FL will use it to pay players wages once their contracts are in default (in just over a weeks time I believe) if they have not been paid by then. Sadly this does not help the non-playing staff at SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Keith Posted 30 June, 2009 Share Posted 30 June, 2009 it also depends if the administrator feels that sfc ltd can continue as a viable going concern. if so, the funds can be retained, if not, it goes in the dissolved pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madsent Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 it also depends if the administrator feels that sfc ltd can continue as a viable going concern. if so, the funds can be retained, if not, it goes in the dissolved pot This is certainly worth discussing. If we can get Rasiak and Saganowski off the pay-roll (I'm assuming we won't get anyone to take Wayne Thomas), combined with the £2m+ from player sales and a potential £3m+ from season tickets, we could actually come out of administration and run without an immediate takeover. Obviously SLH would need a board but there are plenty of good people who would give their time for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 These frunds will definately be used in paying debts and the day to day running of the club. The administrator will almost certainly take a a commission for 'doing the deal' The wages will be paid in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1708421,00.html Fry says on here that we 'should' be able to pay the wages this week and that this is positive ! He must have reason to state this, no? Either the income from player sales will be used or somebody has injected funds, cos we sure as hell didn't have the dosh on Monday !!!

Obviously SLH would need a board but there are plenty of good people who would give their time for free. That's an interesting thought... Not paying their wages would make them free agents and off the books with no liability to pay them for the next season or two. Of course, the value of their contracts would also be wiped out.

SaintRobbie Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 I assume sales were for payment of wages to avoid further points deductions from the FL. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
