Hope they tell Xia to either put up or sell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d hear the clubs is in administration before we need to worry about points deductions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WaccoeOnline Posted June 13, 2018 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2018 The irony of you lot being hailed in front of that A-grade **** Shaun Harvey to explain yourselves when the jumped up postman presided over the wrecking of Scarborough Town, two insolvencies at Bradford City and years of enabling Ken Bates to asset strip and ruin Leeds United. One of the most disgusting men in football and now running to EFL. A brief summary here https://sabotagetimes.com/football/leeds-united-forget-cellino-the-football-league-needs-to-look-in-the-mirror. But any decent Leeds fans could tell you stories far worse. Shameful really. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing something and this is in fact a sign of the financial mess we're in? Every team, every season, goes under review to ascertain what they have financial capacity for by the league officials in the competition I'm most familiar with here in Australia. Some are straightforward whereas some are complex and relegated and promoted teams ALWAYS fall under intense scrutiny and have to share their model for success with the league in order to finalise their standing. That's the system here. So the EFL wanting to check financial plans of a club in our position, all things considered, isn't a doomsday sign rather a formality. In any case it would be nice to get some concrete answers and conclusions surrounding all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think the EFL are covering their arse in light of all the press stories, though tbf they probably do check in with clubs that are under stress anyway, just we're flavour of the month so it becomes news. I recall that this story has gone from EFL crisis meeting, to EFL see how they can help out - in about 24 hours, so just goes to show how reactionary it all is. We are still in need of some official info from the club but you'd hope that is around the corner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The thread is called “going under ?” With a question mark. So it’s tracking speculation about our financial position. Quite hard to see that speculation has gone away, even though there are a few siren voices singing that there is no crisis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HanoiVillan Posted June 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2018 We've gone, like, 48 hours or something without a catastrophic headline, and suddenly everyone seems to have convinced themselves that the crisis was all some sort of mirage. Two urgent tests in the next two weeks or so: can we convince Shaun Harvey we have the money to fulfil our fixtures? Can we pay June's tax bill and wage bill? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
