Proper supporters wouldn't do that in the circumstances.
Fans deserted this club in their thousands when previous regimes hit the financial buffers. We appeared at the High Court on three occasions to face winding up orders and each time our fanbase was down to the 3,000 hardcore, of which I was one. So let's not kid ourselves that our current fanbase will remain loyal, especially so if there is any hint of wrong doing. The most worrying thing for me is the line about local suppliers not being paid. That is local people, local companies and local jobs. If we cannot afford to buy a centre forward because we are skint, then fair enough, fans can accept that but as a club we should not be dodging paying for stuff and services we have received from local companies.
 
There is always “ every cloud, silver lining and all that “at least no points reduction…. At the moment…., just need 50points to stay up this season!!!!
 
Syd….syd are you there?
Er yes? I'm terribly sorry I was asleep earlier but is there a reason you've name checked me?

When Steven and M88 said we were in the **** I said it didn't make sense as we'd just committed to buying puerta. When people said acun was selling up regardless of division I also questioned it. I expressed concern about the late payment of wages but said it's only if it happens a second time that it's a red flag. Not quite sure what your "gotcha" is about here..?

Apologies to anyone I’ve argued with in support of the chairman. You were right.

Hopefully he tries to save face by moving us on and leaving by cutting his losses.
 
Slightly different detail from different sources.

They seem to have been put under a provisional embargo on Monday afternoon but then appealed and submitted documentation. It would appear at least some of the Barry fee was paid late, but that was not enough to allay concerns so we've ended up being placed under a 3 window embargo.

The suggestion seems to be that it could possibly be reduced or lifted based on certain criteria being met, but it's not necessarily limited to the Barry fee being paid as there are wider concerns over our ability to fund future seasons and pay other outstanding dues.

Seems it's not only Villa we've dicked around paying.

I was told of two fairly specific incidents of non-payment of infrastructure investments in February. It was put down to the chairman being a bad customer more so than not having the cash. Clearly it was a cash issue.
 
I didn't think we were bankrupt or going into admin and I still don't. I do think, as I have for a while, that acun needs to go. I lose track though, some claim I'm anti acun and others say I defend our financial position too much.

It'd be too obscure for you in fairness, so I'll hold back on the whooshers, but the original poster was referencing a British TV advert from the 80s

Apparently we missed the first instalment to Blackpool for Joseph as well.

Probably checking the receipt for the guarantee

Jokes aside. It's a bad day for the club. And it's owner.

The veil is slipping.
