    No easy games in the North East Counties League. Couple of seasons of consolidation before we can even think about promotion I reckon.

    I have one question for you and your source and it's a simple one. Who exactly is putting the club into Administration?

    As a help to you, there are only two possible answers! Let's see if you and/or your mystery source can come up with a meaningful answer. If you can't do that, I for one will know you're talking nonsense again.

    I have a further question
    Do Portsmouth know they don't exist after their three admins?

    Admin? Get a grip !!!

    I would probably go as far as saying that we’re in a very strong financial position - far more so than under the previous custodians.

    ‘Fans’ need to understand that spreading these types of vicious rumours, which hold absolutely no substance can be incredibly damaging for the club.

    The club shouldn’t need to release a statement every two minutes either, before someone suggests that they should.

    It needs a floating charge holder, a director or a shareholder to place a business in to administration.

    Bradford City has two directors. Rupp and the Secretary Alan Biggin.

    Clydesdale/Yorkshire Bank have a floating charge on the the club’s assets which was taken out in 2005 and apparently remains outstanding.

    The first two aren’t putting the club in to admin and why would the latter? If Rupp allows an unpaid debt, possibly a revolving overdraft facility, to Yorkshire bank to tip the club into administration, he loses what he’s put in. I cannot imagine that scenario happening.

    Doyle is leaving because he’s not happy at City and Swindon will pay £50k for him, substantially less that what they offered earlier in the month. If the club was skint, he’d have gone on the 4th January for the £90k they offered plus saving another month salary.

    Vaughan allegedly said it’s me or Bowyer and in that scenario unless your name is Messi, the manager wins. He’s also allegedly not the most popular player and Tranmere is closer to his home etc. If the club were skint they’d not have given him a three year and wouldn’t have sent him on loan, they’d have sold him.

    If the club was truly skint more players would be leaving. Akpan, AOC and the injured Riley are on big money.

    I don't think you've heard anything. I think you've seen an opportunity to add to the chaos and disarray and you've seized upon it.

    No chance.

    Last I looked Rupp had no charges on the club or it’s assets. He could sell for a couple of million, way less than he wants, but he’d get some money back. Admin he loses the lot. And who does the club owe substantial amounts of money to? Not been any winding up petitions heard that could indicate long standing unpaid debts.

    File under bullshit.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 Don't forget to post your answer on here to the simple question I asked of you and your mystery source. I'm sure even your 'mega busy' schedule would have time for this!

    We're not going into admin.

    Shit? Yes
    Tanking like a rotten old ship? Yes
    A shambles of a club? Yes

    But admin? No.

    First of all we are not going into admin and secondly there is no rule of being kicked out after a 3rd admin.

    You've just read Mike Hunt's post which gave you this information. But you still haven't said whoit is who is about to place the club in Administration? Go on, tell us all who it is because your mystery source must have heard it from somebody close to the action.

    Let's be quite blunt Fordy, the idea of the club going into administration being 'on the cards' as you described it is just your BS!

    "It's a fortress is The Mitton Group Stadium, not many teams go there and manage a point like we did today. Was a shame Salah couldn't get on the scoresheet but in these local derbies it's always going to be tricky to nick a goal. Anyway we go again on Tuesday so we'll need the Richard Dunn Stadium rocking and getting behind the lads."

    Maybe not admin. Wonder if leaving VP is on the cards. Save the annual lease payment to Gibb pension fund and groundshare with FC Halifax maybe. Just a thought.

    Maybe the complete silence from the club hierarchy, the very early season ticket launch and the apparent departure of two of our highest earners are indicative of something.

    You couldn’t really make this up. Unbelievable.
