This does not look good:

Winding up petition today from HMRC.

I expect no comment from the club until things reach fever pitch again



Anyone else getting a bit sick of this circus?

Would understand a cash flow problem,but can we survive post season with lesser revenue streams?

Easily. As long as we all move in at Odsal and buy everything we need from the club shop and bars. We can sleep under the Coral Stand for a fee.

It really has got to the point where we might have to consider calling it a day. We can only have so many "admin" errors.....to the state that there actually is a problem.

The next few weeks will no doubt see more scare mongering and worry - especially as income (and cash) starts to slow down with the anticipated lower gates for the coconut shield thing-a-me-bob.

If it's another honest mistake (the first one) or another payment in transit (the second one), then it's still incredibly stupid to let this happen, and even more so given the timing.

Are we sure Odsal isn't built on an indian burial ground or something? I'd love to know what us Bulls fans have done to deserve the sh*t we've had to endure over the last 10 years.

To the back teeth.

These things don't just happen (and keep happening) for no reason do they?

No.

Occam would say the most obvious explanation is funds are tight, and payments are made on deadlines. It doesn't help fan confidence, and does give a free hit for our enemies.

I should think after the players' debacle at Feathersone, the next payment may be more troublesome. Maybe the squad would donate that week's wages as a small gesture

Maybe Greens escape to Ibiza was true to what the rumours on Twitter and Facebook were saying Sunday that he has no money and the kitty at Odsal is dry? I just want the club to tell the truth. getting sick of all this nonsense now.

what happens if they haven't been paid yet? that would explain the Featherstone performance.

This should still never happen though. I've said before that Crown debt is never a surprise and if they're running the business properly then you set out your cashflow months in advance.
We're still on the 15/16 funding, which is paid monthly, so there's no excuse for being in trouble now.

It could be nothing, again, but why be dumb enough to pay late even by one day when this is always going to be the outcome?

No it fscking wouldnt!

And no, I have no interest in anal speculation about what if the players had not been paid, it is an invidious and damaging suggestion, I presume you have NO evidence to back it up, and so I do wonder at your motives.

Well a couple of days ago Green said it things were business as usual.

Before today's crisis obviously. But some comedians would suggest another winding up petition is business as usual.

I agree that this should never happen. This money isn't the clubs to withhold. If it's another late payment cock up then someone needs firing.

I guess we just have to sit back and let things take their course. There's nothing we can do anyway.

I can see Green doing a Reggie Perrin and leaving his stuff behind on a beach in Ibiza if this keeps up.

I have zero knowledge of the Bulls' bank balance but for any business, if on the day you ain't got the money, then you ain't got the money. Been there, done that. Pious reminders that you should have don't really help

so if you are not paid for the work you do, you would be happy to maintain your performance and work for nothing?

Unless you have some evidence that the players were not paid then I suggest you shut the fsck up

agree to everything. we are still getting £68k central funding a month so where is the money to pay HMRC ?

what a friendly person you are. deliberately avoiding my question and now firing abuse. sad.

I know this isn't good news but let's refrain from having a go at each other please, even if you think the other person is rude/ignorant/making trouble etc.

I was not "avoiding" your question, I was objecting to it as unfounded, and malicious. I could have added "banal", as well. I am being neither friendly or unfriendly, it is just words, but I do suspect your motives.

You appear to be very careless with words, though. I have offered you no abuse nor do I intend to do so. I suggested you desist from starting pointless discussions based on your groundless speculation that the players had not been paid. If you feel a suggestion that you should shut up is "abuse" then you may be in too robust a place for your tender sensibilities.

How many times does Mr. Green have to say that everything's alright before you'll believe him?

You really are an untrustworthy bunch.

We've been let down a lot by club owners recently Sensei as you know.

The players have let us down too.

We're fragile and like a needy partner require constant re-assurance.

I am keeping count, and will be convinced when he says it for the 17,642nd time. In the meantime he has sent me this reassuring snapshot

does gary hetherington have monthly winding up petitions at his door? supporters have every right to panic when the money is especially owed to HMRC.
