Like it or not, this is not "OUR" club as the fans voted with their closed wallets when Ted asked for the bailout ahead of going into Administration. The club is a PRIVATE company who we can choose to buy tickets & merchandise from or not.

I'm sure it's not slipped anyone's attention that the whole country has been facing financial difficulties over the last few years, so is it really that surprising that one of the lesser teams (let's face it - that's what we have been in recent years) in the top flight of what is (at best) the fourth most popular sport in the country has had some financial difficulties of its own over the same period?

Of course we'd all like to know the TRUE details about the day-to-day business at Belle Vue, but none of us (except Daddycool

) actually have the RIGHT to know these things.

If anyone feels they can run the club better, then I'm sure AG would be happy to listen to their offer for his shares if they have the cash to back up their aspirations. If they don't then the best thing to do is keep buying the tickets & merchandise rather than constantly looking for the "bad news" and spinning it further out of proportion on the internet.

pathetic

It makes no difference weather they were in or not, bailiffs turn up with a live high court writ and if nobody is available or makes themselves available they seize assets to the approximate value of the debt.

Lol this forums getting worse and worse, bet the bailiffs haven't heard "the bosses not here" one before.

I suppose Trinity could've let them seize Vince Mellars and his contract. That would've settled debt or two.

I do wonder about players as assets actually.
I seem to remember from many moons ago, when I studied accountancy (badly) that players weren't regarded as assets on a clubs balance sheet but if they can realise a value there must be something in the contract itself that is of value on a BS.
The value of a club like ours this year with everyone on contract is more than the end of next year when half the team are off contract.
Problem is they are only a value if someone makes a bid, so it is argueable whether they are of any value before that point......and in addition, who could estimate the value.

Any accountants on here who know that?
