Basically we are flogging stuff to make the club more affordable for prospective buyers. Makes sense, I just wish they'd get on with it then we can get a new manager in and have a crack at pulling off a survival miracle.
Aaaaaha! I see the threat of a sound flogging has changed your opinion and now we might just be staying up! :oyea:
Actually it was the threat of being shot by some fascist. :shock:

HMRC weren't satisfied with plan or likelihood of sale and therefore still requested petition remain.

Thankfully court granted adjournment.

EDIT: Those who witnessed proceedings suggest a significant number of player sales are crucial.

I love 'em. We used to collect 'em. One of my favourites was "five wins out of six became the bedrock to putting far mightier rivals into the shade."

We are indeed. Here's another example:

Bolton Wanderers has stated that due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club’s current funding position, it has been unable to confirm to its staff today that they will receive their wages for the month of January on the due dates.

I wonder if that was a part of the plan they unveiled in court!

Can they claim insolvency and still pay wages? Either way, I hope the HMRC haven't got a spy in our camp.

It won't help at the 22nd Feb hearing that HMRC are owed another tranche of PAYE, or even that they've had a delayed PAYE payment. I don't think they need a spy, Tango. I think their own computers will notice the missing cash.

I know :D , but I wasn't. I reckon right now somebody somewhere in HMRC Central is running down a corridor waving a bit of computer printout and screaming to her/his boss "Them feckers in Bolton have done it again"

I can't imagine what the staff is going through. Bills to pay, family members to feed, not knowing whether they will get paid or even have a job after this month.

My emotions are shot much less them. With every ray of hope comes some bad news. I really don't know what's the truth anymore.
