Very said news about Hereford. Our good wishes must go out the fans who have been misled by their current "owner". http://www.herefordtimes.com/sport/...D_FROM_LEAGUE__Heartbreak_for_fans/?ref=var_0 From Hereford United Supporters Trust: Dear Member, The Board of Hereford United Supporters Trust, as well as all supporters of Hereford United are extremely saddened and angry at the expulsion of Hereford United from the Football Conference. Tommy Agombar assured supporters on Friday morning that the club's admin staff would be paid that day. That did not happen. On Friday afternoon, Agombar's accountant and David Keyte assured the Conference that they would meet the Conference demands as laid out to them. That did not happen. The fans of this 90 year old football club have been left in the dark about the situation ongoing at the club, and have been misled in believing bills would be paid which have ultimately been left unsatisfied. We demand answers from Tommy Agombar and David Keyte as to why they have misled supporters, and their loyal staff, with promises of payment and why they have played a game of high stakes poker with a football club of which, during its 90-year history, they are only temporary custodians. Generations of fans are the real Hereford United and generations more will not be deprived of the club their families love. With Tommy Agombar having repeatedly told HUST officials, and other fans, that he has the money to cover the bills, we demand that all outstanding wages are settled with both current and former staff with immediate effect as he has promised to do on so many occasions. Our £1 offer remains on the table, having never been rejected, and we are prepared to investigate pathways to take the club forward if the current owners do not wish to make good on their promises, having done much groundwork with Supporters Direct and our experienced advisers already. HUST June 10th, 2014
I understand that several dubious characters have been attracted to Hereford, characters that have made money out of very similiar situations to this. Looks like another example of the failure of the football authorities to reign in these shysters.
It really shows up the inequality that exists in football, when a club can disappear with debts that are less than some PL players earn in a week. Maybe it is time for the FL to demand that debts that people say will be paid when they take over a club of this size are paid before the new owner is allowed to get his hands on the club. £350,000 was being asked for as a bond to ensure the club completed their fixtures for next season. The current owner could not supply it.
Yes Yorkie, it is the fans that you feel sorry for. Followed and supported their club through thick and thin and get shafted by coin eyed bastards.
I know we cant mention names, but was we not going down the same path as poor Hereford until our currant owners stepped in. I for one will never forget what our currant owners have down for us . even if it means that a star player is loaned out to Granada to keep them up and we don't get promoted .
