Thanks for that. Currently the club is not in administration, it has filed with the courts a Notice of Intention to appoint administrators. However, if the Club enters administration, then sanctions for the Club are a ten-point deduction and a transfer embargo. Yet the guy who posted the rules on a...

Extended due to interested parties (apparently three) in buying the club, who have made non-disclosure agreements, no points deduction for 10 further days at least.
Also, if that is still the case in 10 days, then it will probably be extended again.

Yes, that's correct.

Agree.
He's only interested in making money....
.......Failed this time and to the detriment of TUFC.

We aren't in administration.

Pity they didnt get their facts straight - we are not yet in administration.

3-1 TUFC.

Complete spitballing here:
Maybe she's CO's missus?

That'll be at least two c*cks in that house then.....

I wish you bloody good luck if Smurthwaite buys the club....boy will you need it.

Rather him than Osborne seven days a week.

Woefully overspending is not a problem as long as someone foots the bill. Stoke do it, as do Man City, Chelsea and many others. Unfortunately so did Darlington, Bury, Chester, Maidstone and Aldershot amongst others. Then the funds stopped. Just for the record, I'm not particularly a fan of Osbourne...

wbw wrote: ↑25 Feb 2024, 21:40 Just ask the Kettering fans about Smurthwaite. Ask the Vale fans about him as well. He has one of the worst reputations in football.

But, not as bad as Osborne....
Ask Brizzie Rovers, Reading, Swindon et al....

It is generally accepted that players give 14 days to resolve the issue, before leaving.

OK, so the question is, have they breached within the 14 days....???

I know that you shouldn't rely on it as a medium, but anyone who things that Norman Smurthwaite is a knight in shining armour should read his profile on Wikipedia. I stand by my contention that he is an Osborne clone and would be bad news for Torquay United. To coin a cliche - 'better the devil you...

Apologies for "going quiet" lol...other jobs to do. Also apologies for calling the poster clueless, that was wrong. Including NI, pension costs and other expenses, the monthly salaries cost is in excess of £100k. The club has been losing over £20k a week for years, that's nearly £85k a mo...
