derbydan Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Sheffield Wednesday have been issued with a winding-up order by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The League One club have, however, denied they are going to go into administration as a result of the winding-up order. The action by HMRC relates to an outstanding PAYE balance of £550,000 and the club have been informed the petition will be heard in the High Court on August 11. A club statement read: "Sheffield Wednesday would like to inform supporters their club is not about to be wound up, nor is it about to enter into administration. We have been involved in dialogue with HMRC for a number of weeks. As such we have been somewhat surprised and disappointed by their decision to seek a winding up order at this time. "We understand that HMRC is taking a tougher line in general with football clubs but feel their actions are disproportionate and will raise unnecessary speculation as to the financial position of the club. We can inform supporters that the club, working in partnership with the Co-operative Bank and their advisors, will seek to settle this matter as soon as is practical." A statement from the Co-operative Bank added: "It is disappointing to note HMRC have presented a winding up order in respect of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. "The Co-operative Bank has been working extremely hard for some time with representatives of the football club and investors to explore ways to ensure its future stability. "At present we are continuing to enter into dialogue with our advisers, Sheffield Wednesday Football Club and potential investors to explore solutions which will allow the club to operate on a sound and secure financial footing for the future."

GboroRam Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I was living there when they went down. Front page news of the local rag, as the supporters club carried a coffin through Doncaster town centre. Ex 'SAS' man was caught trying to burn the ground down on behalf of the owners, trying to get the insurance money. Oh, they were happy times.

Boycie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 SAS man was caught? bet he was disowned by the rest of the air service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I put it in quotes as it was quoted as being an ex-SAS man in the papers, but to be honest the guy left his mobile at the scene, making me think he's more like Walter Mitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
