The ccj is against Scunthorpe United FC Ltd.
Is it from Swanns time or Hilton’s ?
It is clear Hilton doesn’t want to spend money on anything he doesn’t feel is necessary – academy, groundsman, ticket office staff, stewards etc.
Personally, I don’t like that but maybe this is how Hilton does business, maybe it is all part of sorting out what’s left from Swann.
A board of directors is being assembled of business people and apparently experienced legal people, why are they happy to get involved , why hasn’t Turnbull run a mile away already ? How have Dean, Plummer, Butler and all the players been convinced to be at the club ?
Something is happening and we can only hope it will ok.
I’m not remotely convinced by Hilton yet, maybe he doesn’t have £3m, maybe he does.The club will have 30 days to pay the ccj it or dispute it.

Right or wrong, a description of what the OP refers to would be useful instead of the usual cryptic messaging.

I know you disagree, so this isn’t a go at you, but many of these are important components of the club. We can’t just neglect them and we won’t be sustainable truly if we’re just cutting corners on vital roles.

whether from Swann time or not hillton took on the debts, but judgement was 9 aug … no further details given

Solely for the benefit of Northumbiron.
Not just NI, not sure many of us have got the time to read between your many lines.
Do we know what this judgement relates to or do we have to look that up too?

it doesn’t matter how you see it or debate it, we are still here at the moment so why don’t you just leave it to the professionals who are dealing with it and just enjoy the football, you are putting valid details up but there must be a lot of things going on that you don’t know or these new directors etc wouldn’t be joining the Board, technically it is nothing to do with the supporters to deal with, and whether you like Hilton or not if he hadn’t taken the club over you could be watching football on TV or somebody else so give him and the others a chance, just remember a lot of changes had to be made on or off the pitch, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

With respect, with the exception of a few, no one is not giving Hilton a chance. Supporters are entitled to express opinions about off field matters and will continue to do so, whether you want them to or not. I don’t agree with the ‘shut up and butt out’ ethos and suspect many others don’t either

I agree, DM. Hilton can demonstrate his worth with action. He doesn’t need me patting him on the back all the time, and refraining from criticism or ignoring concerns. These things are bound to stir up worry from some and cause suspicion. It’s a football forum and people will disagree with each other. The way to deal with it is to accept it, not slam them as trouble makers, like Hilton has done.
After all, shutting up and not causing a fuss served us poorly with Swann.

Agree Siderite, my take is £1500 big deal, it will get sorted one way or another and it’s not for me to decide. Really enjoyed the game and atmosphere last night at GP, long may it continue.

It may be a big deal to an individual or a small company. I find it concerning and wonder how many others may come out of the woodwork in the coming weeks. It is a shame that this sort of thing is playing out in the background when things on the pitch are looking up.

Savings, cost cutting and cutting cloth shouldn’t come with not paying what you owe and a ‘whatevs’ attitude IMO. False economy and unsustainable. Though people are perfectly entitled to stick their heads in the sand and hope the suns still shining. Evidence shows that serves no club well

Well may, could or wonder never really meant a lot anyway when the actual thing is we don’t who is owed and my concern is the team improving on the pitch like last night being the perfect example. We can keep discussing and wondering and maybying till the cows come home but either way we are top of the league after the first three games and that is a position we have not seen for several seasons.

Yes. Hilton agreed to take the debt on, I believe, so has no excuses regarding it being Swann’s legacy. It’s not fair on those we owe money to, who deserve to be paid. Finding ways to squibble others out of money would be unprofessional and bad. Ultimately, it could cost relations with associated businesses, and that’s not good for relations. Also, squiubbling over £1500 doesn’t make me more confident that Hilton has the funds needed for the stadium or club, and just raises my suspicions over him regarding ther Swann dispute.
