Whilst I take your point, on this occasion I'm not going to believe either until some sort of proof is given.

The case was today and if Green says it's been withdrawn I believe him as he'd look like a fool if it wasn't true and lose all credibility. You can check and see if the website's been updated and the petition removed (I've not yet). Sounds as if nobody else joined in the petition with HMRC so looks like we've paid up. It's hung around a while which suggests we've been taking our time paying up.

If that hadn't I'd expect the brown stuff would've hit the fan by now and we'd be dealing with umpteen trolls going on about cloth cutting again.

Hopefully we can move on from this episode.

Still there at the moment (https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/court ... winding-up) but this was put up before Marc Greens tweet (13.52) and it is subject to change too.

No mention of it being a mistake then?

Actually that was put up on Friday. Its just the listing for cases due to be heard today so it won't change to show winding up order being removed.

Ah, cheers.

Sam it looks like nothing was paid to HMRC. I reckon that was everybody's assumption except Marc Greens.

Pretty sure that's not the case Dennis.

It just joins the extremely long list of Things That Are Never Quite Satisfactorily Explained. I think we are on Volume XVII now.

If it was just a mistake as stated, they had plenty of time to remove the hearing. Why did Marc Green need to attend and not one of his legal team. As stated above, not satisfactorily explained. Either way its over now and you can concentrate on the new season.

whats also disapointing, although not surprising, is T&A not bothering to report the removal of the winding up petition. They had it up as breaking news within an hr or so when it was issued yet totally ignore its removal. They seem to be very quick to print negative headlines about the bulls, Eg running the headlines about us going part time after Jimmys comments after MPG on both online edition on the Sunday and the print edition on the Monday. This is despite Ross the T&A reporter tweeting on the Sunday that Marc Green had told him Saturday night that we were staying fulltime and telling him again on the Sunday morning. Think there's been a major breakdown in communications between club and local rag which needs addressing TBH.

pretty certain that articlel wasn't on T&A website before lunchtime today as I made a point of checking to see if they had covered it. Wont be first time time they've put an article on and backdated it either. Dead giveaway is the comments which dont start til 12pm today.

And that still doesnt explain way they handled headlines about being parttime when they knew it was incorrect. They went with a sensationalist headline to sell papers.

It did seem a little late in going up.

The way Jimmy acts at post-match interviews I can see this being an issue.

Jimmy has an issue with the questions Ross asks I believe. Marc Green tweeted about issues too.

To an outsider, this issue of a winding up order, by HMRC, is to be taken with a pinch of salt. In my view, it is a (scaring) tactic on the part of the 'Revenue'. They certainly won't wind up any company, as long as there is the slightest chance of getting their money. I'm willing to bet that most clubs have been the subject of at least one of these cases, at some time or other. I know ours has.

Lowes needs to be less thin skinned and show some manners. Ross needs to engage brain before opening his mouth sometimes.

IMHO of course.

It's a good job he's in a sport with basically no profile whatsoever if this is how he reacts to the least investigative newspaper in the country. He'd be doing a Keegan in every interview otherwise.

I haven't seen much evidence of a genuinely fractured relationship between the T&A and us. But were one to exist I'd say it was pretty wide of the mark to suggest it was 50% Ross' fault. There's no way the questions asked by Ross warranted the scornful and petulant responses he'd get back week in week out.

I agree Pumps. Some of the post match press conferences I've seen are awkward in the extreme when you see how Lowes responds to some questions. No need for it. Even if Lowes thinks Ross's question is dumb there's no need to be so passive aggressive.

Money troubles

Talk comes to us of a lower-league club struggling to pay its bills. This side, which plays in the Championship, is on thin ice financially we are led to believe. They have been doing well on the field in terms of results in recent seasons, but off the field things are much darker and its future could be precarious.
Hope it's not us
