The Administration Thread

Whimsical thought:

Just read the first post on every fifth page!

You'll not miss much in between.

Can anyone remember when things were relatively normal?

I’d say post Keogh Wembley game for about 6months until the Bryson wages news struck.

Then the whole 3 ring circus went into full swing.

We all know the common denominator.

I miss GSE me.

It really is bonkers how the club hasn't really had a quiet few months for 7 or 8 years at least now.

• Thorne going on strike and then finally getting a move and getting injured within days.
• Albentosa and the innersoles.
• Butterfield's arrest because of his toe-nibbling mate.
• Pearson's suspension due to a bust up with Mel over apparent drone usage to spy on training. 
• Sam Rush's sacking, the 2 million Mbappe/Dembele scouting mission with the Ince family and the resulting court case.
• The Cardiff video from their players about Keogh and Shackell.
• Spygate.
• Mel selling the stadium to himself.
• The drunken car crash.
• Rooney signing and the 32Red controversy.
• FFP breaches.
• Ramage and his racist comments.
• Wisdom getting stabbed.
• A rumoured investor (Gabay) being arrested over a tax scandal.
• The fake sheikh Mel spent months negotiating with.
• Erik Alonso and the time wasted with him.
• The inter-changeable EFL fixture list.
• The EFL fine and what seemed like never-ending appeals until they got what they wanted as a punishment.
• Marriott's contract extension clause being activated in January only for the EFL to essentially rip up his contract in the summer allowing him to leave for nowt.
• Starting the season with 12 senior players and having to beg the EFL to let us add more.
• Rooney injuring Knight in training.
• The points deductions.
• Administration.
• Wycombe and Boro make it known they plan to take legal action against the club.
• The never-ending EFL/administrators/preferred bidder deadlines we've heard about for months.

All of that within a decade for a second tier club! And that doesn't include the multiple times Mel didn't pay wages, half of the dumb stuff the EFL have done involving us, youngsters being nabbed left and right and more. Can we please just get back to having a boring club to support where our only worries are injuries, transfers and results. ?

Rooney leads us to promotion and FA Cup glory (the first team from the third tier to win it?). What a final episode to a Netflix series that would make.

Do we have any progress yet?

 

Do we have a stadium or not, are we going bust. It's really dragging on now, it was bad enough searching for a buyer and now it's just ridiculous.

[BrainyRam]

Sorry if someone's already posted but just seen this on Twitter from Amanda Solloway which indicates CK has an extension to Monday. - hopefully it means an outcome is near.

Carl - Sorry - It was badly phrased by me - the 500k takes us until the day we need to pay salaries out. It definitely doesn't take us until the end of May.

As a business, we won't be getting much, if anything on payment terms anymore - so if we need critical things, we will be paying up front for it.

How much does a 29402 attendance bring in which was after the April payday. Also is TV money paid at the end of the month, that will bring a bit more. No idea if that is enough but CK is supposed to have claimed he will write cheques while PB
