by Intelligent Protection Management Group has now been satisfied and paid in full after the case was withdrawn today.

Not completely true.
Hilton used part of the funds that were in the clubs account to part pay the HMRC debt and come to a monthly payment arrangement, which incidentally he didn’t stick to hence the new application for a winding up order.
Because of the arrangement the transfer embargo was lifted.
The statement by Hilton that we were days away from being wound up wasn’t true either, no judge in the history of football has ever wound a club up on the first application for a winding up order, they are always given time to pay.
Southend is a prime example, research will show you other clubs have never been wound up at the first application either.

Not completely true. Southend and others have being going to court and objecting to being wound up. Bit like the labour party when they left office there were no funds.

Nearly every word I’ve heard about Michelle Harness is positive- the word integrity keeps cropping up. This will buy her time with local businesses owed their money and give some wiggle room for repayment plans to be put in place.

The real challenge will be getting the ground off Swann- which is no mean feat. Additionally, good will will only take her so far and the consortium will need to be pumping in hundreds of thousands to get us out this mess for the short term.

We aren’t out of the woods by any stretch, but hopefully we are now finally heading in the right direction.

Awaywego, I edited your post as it contained a claim about Swann’s intentions for the club and land which could get you and the site in trouble. Can we stick to facts please.

Local people who care for their club. A refreshing change after the last 10 years and they know what is needed.

Agree with this. Michelle’s attitude and demeanour, her professionalism, is what should buy us time and patience and see us through some choppy financial waters. I expect businesses outside of SUFC which have been used to dealing with Clown 1 and then Clown 2 in recent years will now be a little more confident in the club playing nicely. I also suspect some of the board will be able to assist financially.
