    They probably don't want to be publicly named, but given Baz has spoken to the owner and published that there are, Its reasonable to think it's more likely than not.

    Probably. Reasonable to think. More likely than not.

    I take it you're not a solicitor.

    I don't need to be. But if the HDM are wrong then they risk needing a good one.

    But then it's not just HDM, it's the telegraph, BBC and Keiran Maguire as well.

    Are you talking about the below from James Smailes? Because that says nothing about them owing money to local suppliers, it simply reports on what could easily be a made up 'concerns' about the payment of goods. As I asked earlier, what local supplier would you say could be supplying goods to Hull City AFC? Not the SMC which is totally separate in this.

    "However, while that may be the case, the Barry payment is understood to in many ways be the final straw, with Hull Live aware of growing concerns from suppliers both locally and nationally regarding the finances of the club and payment for goods."

    Not the club, no. The owner, yes.

    Unlike you, I don’t see them as one and the same.

    "There is precedent for appeals to be successful which could give hope to suffering Tigers fans, who have been growing increasingly concerned about the club’s finances in recent months, with local suppliers failing to be paid and threatening to pull their services, while there have been issues with other transfer payments and the payment of the players' wages on time."


    Joint article by Barry Cooper and James Smailes.

    Interesting. Wonder if Baz will clarify if its the club or the SMC as it would be pretty dumb not to be using the SMC to offset tons of running costs some clubs can't.

    Local 'suppliers'?
    Hopefully nothing to do with those shops subject to recent raids?

    on the podcast it was mentioned as catering & cleaning contractor but didn’t say if it was smc or city. Would the EFL differentiate between the 2 entities??

    The club would be mad not to be offsetting those costs as well as game day costs and to the SMC.

    Longer contracts so spread the cost plus league one rules they could spend basically what they liked till EFL’s changed rules it said.

    You would think Acun might have contacts in Ecuador and USA that might make life a little easier for us...

    Is it a striker they've signed or a treaty?
