Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
If, as Ken appears to have said, the £4m that SSBWFC put into the running costs is "Nowt to do with the Club"
How does that get to "players not getting paid"
I'm confused...

And when Eddie wasn't paying wages, the only source of funds for the business was Eddie. Similarly the only source of funds to pay now is Ken. So irrespective of who is or isn't responsible in both cases it amounts to one man having to dip into his pocket. Ken isn't a fan hasn't been here long and only owns half the club or just over half.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 12:12 pmWell, I'd have to go back and check, but I think it would have been something like "The Directors are responsible for ensuring the bills are paid" no?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 6:45 pmIndeed. Remind me of your stance when Eddie stopped paying every fecker at the club playing and non playing....never mind those who had left...Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 6:37 pmI suspect there'd be plenty on here would grumble somewhat if the pay-check didn't hit on time...Prufrock wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 6:27 pmYeah that's how owning a business works. He can stop putting money in if he wants, and the business goes bust and he owns over half of feck all. Or he can behave like an adult and putt his hand in his pocket. What he can't (or shouldn't) do is feck around people contractually owed money by the business in some sort of Mexican stand off to save himself a few quid.

Not the same at all. Directors and "owners" have different legal obligations (unless the owner is also a Director). I know you always struggled to get your head round that point. It's a business, the Directors are legally responsible for running it.

Dean Holdsworth is a director, he had to sign off the accounts last week along with KenWorthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:01 pmNot the same at all.

Therefore why is Holdsworth not equally liable in regards to providing sufficient funds to pay salaries & bonuses - why should it be only down to KA.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
It shouldn't be all down to Ken. Nor did my post say it should. The Directors (however many there are) are legally responsible to try and ensure the business is a going concern. In this case, that's both of them.Peter Thompson wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:11 pmDean Holdsworth is a director, he had to sign off the accounts last week along with KenWorthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:01 pmNot the same at all.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
Legally responsible is irrelevant. Eddie stopped putting money in knowing the wages couldn't be paid. Ken is having to put money in from his own pocket to ensure wages are paid. If he chooses not to he can stick the business in administration or wait for the courts to do it.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:01 pmNot the same at all.

Ken presumably has little to lose financially, obviously it might hurt his business career though.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
Absolutely I think that KA 'wants' to move Holdsworth out of the way - but until Holdsworth sorts out his issues with Bluemarble - either directly to Blumarble or by selling to Ken or another party then he's equally liable for the current running costs of the club.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:18 pmIt shouldn't be all down to Ken.

My point is that it appears that the few who are saying that the club should honour all contracts & bonuses despite current cash flow issues 'appear' to be pointing fingers at KA when surely Holdsworth should be getting stick.
But its Holdsworth who ironically (having somewhat helped save the club18 months or so ago), is now putting the future of the club at risk by not sorting out his long running issues with Blumarble - which is hurting the club now in regards to delaying KA bringing in further investment & getting the embargo lifted.
The fans should therefore be giving Holdsworth stick not just KA

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
Irrelevant to the point I'm making. Ken and the other two directors are responsible for paying the wages and contracts. Yes. But it is only his personal cash that is available to do so. What if he decides, feck it, club can sort itself out...like Eddie did. Yes Eddie may not have been legally responsible but as the only source of income the result is the same.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:22 pmLegally responsible is not irrelevant.

Neither of them were/are the "only source of income"... You made that bit up too. It's like Jackanory.

Where else is money coming from to cover the wages? Given we know there isn't sufficient cash flow within the business to do so.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 3:42 pmNeither of them were/are the "only source of income"... You made that bit up too. It's like Jackanory.

Surely our cash to hand position is never better than at this time of year, no? 10,000 season tickets sold.

Major income is from EFL for league deal plus TV etc... that isn't in yet.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
Interesting. Do we know when that comes in? Is it in dribs and drabs? I'm struggling to get my head around Summer being the worst period for cash flow to be honest.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2017 4:53 pmMajor income is from EFL for league deal plus TV etc... that isn't in yet.
