The mystery will continue

The fact they've seen us twice inside a year, is no mystery!!

Jeffries or Obst?

I was referring to the statement from the club. They never say it as it is, rather tip toe around the 'issue'. The lack of communication from the club is thoroughly frustrating

Protecting themselves until the problem is solved?

Just a thought.......but I agree.........IT IS frustrating.

I agree, I was refering to the way they tip toe round running the finances of the club properly, hence the lovely city breaks to London ted seems to love so much!!!icon_biggrin.gif

Whilst he's down there, could he give Rob Purdham a lift?

So, its been a formality then. Trin have been contesting the amount that they have to pay, the HMRC mechanism means that the tax payments need to be reviewed in an official capacity to ensure the amount is correct (rather than casual because the payments will relate to a legal agreement and if the sum is incorrect then it shows a Governemental Dept to have made an error), so they have met with HMRC to discuss this as a matter of protocol. Trin aren't taking the mick, they are paying up, the two parties are in open and co-operative dialogue, the issue has been formally highlighted, so the tax man can go off and do his sums.

This doesn't strike me as something to worry about.

Trin's season's ended, they've had a big off load of players (whose contracts they will have hadtosort out) and are looking at finalising contracts with new players, there's this issue with HMRC, which will have taken a fair bitof work and they have to work towards Oct 22nd as well as considering applications for new backers.

We all know Trin aren't the richest of clubs and for a professional sports club are probably woefully understaffed. On the one they can't openly discuss a lot of issues yet until its resolved and on the other, considering how much work the above involves, they probably haven't got the time to put together a series of press releases, do interviews, contact media outlets etc etc.

I know its a frustrating situation for a fan to be in, particularly after the season we've had, but have faith and let them crack on and do what they need to do. Afterall Trin are hardly strangers to adversity!

I wouldn't want to see the tax man twice in a lifetime, let alone twice in a year, thanks but I think I'll worry a little bit if that's ok.

is it a 3 month adjournment which was agreed prior to today because we have had 3 different accountants look at the books and they can't agree with each other never mind hmrc? feel like fiddling my self assessment which ngbfc knows all about due to his skynormous earnings!



only joking mr hmrc man!

seems like you poor cats are living on borrowed time.

Or it could just be your alter-ego that you're thinking about?

wow! you are a rareity. someone that actually grasps and understands the situation and doesn't just make it up as they go on.

don't talk rubbish mate they are going nowhere. or at least up till last week they weren't anyway and i don't think anything has changed.

if this hasn't already been said, and as unbelievable as it has always seemed, it looks like we can all wave that one goodbye:

As a Wire fan - and NOT coming here to troll - even though there is a real passion in the area for league, I am seriously concerned that you may miss out on a franchise. The playing side of things is not too bad - OK you're not 'up' for a CC or GF trophy yet but you've got a great coach and some really decent players (and I don't mean for that to sound patronizing) - but the stadium is a mess and I really think you're living on borrowed time from that aspect.

'Framing the Future' has been around for too long and the club hasn't responded - be that through lack of funds or something else.

I guess you know these things, but it would be a shame to see you (or Cas) go down for that.
But I fear that you are some way behind. Salford were my candidates for the drop but their stadium seems assured.

I hope I am wrong.

like the title says fingers crossed we will know one way or the other soon

Fail!

Yep. Slightly patronising post from a fan of a team who are a shoe in to keep thier franchise, who hasnt
done any research whatsoever.

Epic Fail!

As in 'Mostly Harmless!'

To be fair he has a point. Until planning permission comes through we are a club on the brink. When it does come through then we will be a club with planning permission on the brink. New investment is everything. And not in 2 years when we are in a new stadium, thats too late. Need it NOW!

Do you really think so? Wow - that's a totally fresh perspective on the situation that quite honestly, I don't think anyone on here has realised.
