Apparently the Chairman is issuing a statement on Wednesday.

Edit: Damn the typos when I use my phone to post!

Hi Neil,

what's the story here? Would be sad if they were shut down.

[Neil]

Don't know mercury, haven't been involved with the club for over a year. Hopefully this can be avoided, will be interesting to read the chairmans statement.

[Malcolm Robinson]

Its a winding up order, which if I am correct means the creditor has run out of patience with the debtor and is looking to maybe get pence in the pound back.

Wheres Bob Rich?

[John White]

Might not be too bad...

Are there really two Mr Ritchie Wharton's born three years apart? If not someone really should tell Companies House!

I like this song:

Forgive me for being pedantic, but that 'chairmans announcement' is an utter abomination. Grammatically and in context it reads as though it has been written by a primary school kid; one should never include an exclamation mark in an official, professional announcement such as this - it smacks of ridicule and sensationalism - and, to point out one immediate error, anyone with any knowledge of grammar should be aware the number three should always be written as a word. I could go on, but if the gentleman in question wishes to present a professional image, perhaps he should ask someone to proof his work?

Could I interest you in this thread Merc?

It's worse than that merc! He states he was told three times there was no debt. A senior official of a company is required to find these things out for themselves and not to take what others say at face value. If he can't read his own company's accounts, or find someone who can, then he shouldn't have taken the job in the first place!

He should be presenting the full facts to the club, and not coming up with excuses that read like a kiddie's sickie! A competent company chairman would call a meeting of members at the first opportunity. In such a serious matter it should probably be a meeting of all club members and not just significant stakeholders. Bedlington deserves better than this!

All this should have come out in "due diligence". If it was hidden then there is a legal claim. If the incoming administration didn't do due diligence then 'caveat emptor.'

For the £15 grand being talked about I would have thought there is much more to this than the sum involved?

[Keith Scantlebury]

I thought Due Diligence was a cowboy

Thanks Brett, I've already been in contact with Malcolm regards this.

[threegee]

...though both cowboys and rustling may well be involved somewhere!

All this should have come out in "due diligence". If it was hidden then there is a legal claim. If the incoming administration didn't do due diligence then 'caveat emptor.'

Even if there was no emptoring - and the board were appointees - then they should have/be doing a substantial amount of caveating! The chairman and his board need to do some quick revision on their legal responsibilities. Here is a good starting place for their revision. Paragraph 11 would be particularly relevant, and doesn't provide for I-didn't-knows/nobody-told-mes. Paragraphs 16 to 20 might focus minds.

For the £15 grand being talked about I would have thought there is much more to this than the sum involved?

My original post seems to indicate so. I never watched Blackadder, but didn't it popularise a phrase about planning?

Malcolm, where did you get my photo from

I knew it as Pete the peskey varmit! :lol:

I intended to post on here with regards to the "Chairmans" statement a few days ago but thought best not to, but I have to say one thing, I,m at a loss as to someone taking on the responsibilities of the position and NOT being fully converse with the finances of ANY business let alone a football club with let us say a "history" as The Terriers have had in recent years.

Just an opinion of course.
