On his live transfer blog, Iles claims the club aren't planning to pay off the tax bill. Can't believe that. Makes no sense.

Whoever has made up that lie should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. As should Iles for repeating it.

In what proved a surprising twist at the weekend

What, that Mr Iles?

On 15th January the Sun said that the Emerson (Middlebrook) group was buying the car park.

That day Iles tweeted this...

@HalliwellBill the other name being touted around is Mick James.

Mick James being the owner of PBP. So whilst it is easy to poke holes, he and Nixon both talked about this possibility mid January.

Not sure that this is the full story BWFCI, did he not say that the club are not planning to pay 'all' of the tax bill ? - sort of implying that they will be paying some of it but not necessarily the full amount

Ah you are right. I misread. It says club won't pay all of the tax bill. Still seems odd to me.

Shame on you!

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Seems suicidal to me. But hey ho.

[thebish]

nahhh - it'll be a clever ruse - be reet...

[Gary the Enfield]

Adopting the 'google' model presumably......

[Hoboh]

The fullback - Scandinavian, forget his name.

John Arne Riise wasn't it? Didn't someone find his payslip amongst his rubbish? Something like that anyhow.

So! You are confirming this to be a lie? Sauce please.

My source is common sense. Given we have a court imposed winding up order raised by HMRC we will literally crease to exist unless that bill is paid.

Add to that the fact that we specifically needed court approval to buy a bit of the car park before we could sell the rest of it, and that that permission would have only been given on the promise that the bill is paid, I'd suggest that unless it is paid asap someone has also commited perjury and/or fraud.

So yeah, lies, lies lies.

I misread it. So what he said was the plan was not to pay the bill in full. So some sort of staggered payment plan I guess.

[CrazyHorse]

Crease to exist? Haha. Stupid phone.

[Lord Kangana]

Is that like an ultra-fastidious dress code?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Crease to exist? Haha. Stupid phone.

What made it better was the emphatic "literally crease to exist".

Anyway: Window gone, no major player losses. That feels like it should be A Good Thing, although the financial uncertainty (worsened by getting drip-fed half-heard tit-bits like the one that caused your "lies" post) means I'm still slightly worried we'll be hearing "Oh dear, we needed to sell someone to survive" within a month.

So, the countdown begins to Mon 22 Feb. I've just realised that on that day I've also got a site to launch and an album coming out. Oh good...)

Nixon is fairly adamant that the car park went for £20M. Though he is critical that the club won't say how much, and where it is going. Which to an extent in our situation I get the criticism. But equally they've never been forthcoming or transparent so I can't imagine they'd start now.

Please tell me you've called it 48 hours?

[Lord Kangana]

On the one hand, with the rest of the development its probably land with permission to build, on the other, its hardly like you could build houses right next to a stadium, could you?

Having said that, I'm still not clear on which car parks it is we keep discussing. Is it the ones immediately adjacent to the ground, between Burnden Way and The Linkway?

I'm glad to see he had no outstanding student loans or dodgy tax credits claim in
