You’re right but why did it happen in the first place? If the club had decent liquidity, it would have funds available in the club’s UK-based account to pay the player salaries on the usual date. The official line by Acun and the club is that there was a delay in transferring money from an overseas account into the club’s account to pay players’ salaries. That explicitly means the club has poor liquidity and cannot cover short-term, monthly obligations without regular transfers from overseas accounts. All healthy businesses should have cash reserves as a contingency to cover shortfalls.
Christ guys haven’t you been over this every day for the last month? You can guess , surmise be ITK all you like we are where we are whether it’s Acuns fault or not , if we all hold hands and make a wish it will all go away.
Sadly,I don't think some of us will be invited to the hold each others hands event... Gutted,Glasgow.
If you owned a Rolls Royce and someone came along that couldn't afford to buy it but asked to borrow it for a year would you not see the benefit in charging them a fee for using it for a year as well as making sure they pay for the petrol and insurance? It's business. Football is a business.
a rolls royce keeps more value sat in a garage doing nothing a player gets more value when they play bad analogy
Do you know more than has been reported? The only other player fee I've seen mentioned was Fin Burn, and that was after Barry. I've not seen anything else reported to say that we've been late to pay other clubs for our transfer obligations, although there were *rumours* that maybe we were late for Joseph. I've also heard rumours that we haven't been paying other suppliers, but again, I've not seen anyone actually come forward as one of those suppliers. We also know that one month the players were paid in the acceptable period, but a couple of days later than their usual payday.
A family member who works as an exec for one of these companies, asked me to respect corporate confidentiality, but they told me the state of affairs a few months ago, and that a number of others were/had been in the same position and that it wasn't the first time. And the Barry fee tipped the total days late over 30 days. An installment for Joseph had already been late as part of that tally. Then there was Burns.
