We are hostage to Hilton now, until he sells or the club goes out of existence.
My principles tell me not to go anymore as he is deliberately not paying people who are owed whilst paying for a team, which on paper, should walk the league. I don’t want to go and cheer that team, but if I don’t, and if lots other people don’t then the money dries up even faster.

Chicken & Egg?

The HMRC thing isn’t a big issue they accept anything over a period of time .

Aslong as they get their money , that’s from a small /medium size business as I had .

The problem is Hilton has gone daft on the playing budget and then said he won’t pay people – you can’t just not pay people ,

I don’t get how some fans support that

Horse & Cart
You don’t need a Shergar / Frankel to pull a gharry.
Any old horse will do.
No cart… no need for a horse.
Pay all debts first.
Run a smaller, less costly squad.
But, ensure that the club survives and that there is somewhere for our John Doe footballers to play.
Not paying creditors & debts but loading up with ‘over qualified’ players on higher salaries than needed for Level Six is suicide.

Great bloke.
Good luck.

We were hoping that someone would come in and “Heal The Pain”.
It’s all got “Too Funky” for WHAM and the “Fantasy” has turned in to a “Monkey” on his back.
We “Cowboys And Angels” are left “Praying For Time” and hoping that a new “Father Figure” comes to our rescue!
At least “You Have Been Loved” SUFC!

[Rene Artois]

So, WHAM has decided to wRap it up.

It is extremely unlikely that some knight in white armour will come in and save the club.

Let us be realistic, who would want to take on the debt of this club? With no assets of real value, bills mounting daily, and with no prospect that the club can meet the demands of the creditors we are technically insolvent. Add to that the winding up petition that we received today, and the one that is about to arrive from HMRC, and I suspect even administration will not save us.

All in all, David White-Hilton-Anderson-Mellors has managed to finish what Swann started. The light that was once a well respected, community club plying their trade in the Football League is about to be extinguished, and there is sweet FA we can do about it!

A sad day indeed!

Give a WHAM, give a bam but don’t give a damn!

Thanks. Oh dear.

I’ve caught up slightly and seen his statement on the club website now.

He’s digging in.
The statement sets off well but he reverts to form.
Same old.

[Rene Artois]

Hopefully being an ex-player he’ll have a better understanding of the game from the players point of view.

Dean Skipper is the man in black tonight. A level 2b ref.
Qualified to ref games at NL, NLN & NLS level.
I believe he used to play for Romford?
He’s the chairperson of Thurrock Referees’ Society.
Have a good game young man.

Young pros have too much time & money on their hands.
That’s why so many have ended up on the beer & betting down the years.

3-1 Lucky 15

Middlesbrough 3-1 – 16/1
Brackley 3-1 – 18/1
Chesterfield 3-1 – 11/1
Barnsley 3-1 – 18/1

I’ll see a tasty return of £46,799.50 for my £7.50 stake when those lot breeze in.

From bad to worse:

“A claimant with a judgment debt is free to issue a Winding-Up Petition to enforce payment. But if the debt is undisputed, they can sidestep the CCJ and petition for the debtor-company to be wound up.

The issuing of a Winding-Up Petition immediately triggers Section 127 of the Insolvency Act 1986. This forbids directors from taking several actions, including making payments from the company’s bank account(s) without first obtaining the court’s permission.”
