I'm reminded that Geoffrey Robinson was the man at the helm of CCFC at the time

Not that I'm making any insinuations, of course...

Football League desperate to avoid club going under despite its parlous state

Lousy management at all levels

All sorted. Just Â£50k of FAW money down the drain then

Was saying on Tuesday night, the FA as the overseer of the National Game really ought to appoint a non-league football overlord to stop these people (eg Farnborough, Truro, Salisbury etc etc) taking the p***

I'll do it for Â£50k plus car

I wonder if talkSPORT will run the story about what a bunch of clowns FFC are, as they did when Paddy Power's ridiculous sponsorship was announced?

Entirely possible/probable

Wonder how many other clubs would/will get away with this nonsense?

Excellent broadcaster on talkSPORT (I know, there's a phrase you don't often hear) Danny Kelly makes the point that Kettering have gone under for the sake of Â£58k while one club in Europe is paying another Â£85m-ish for one player whose weekly wage will be four times the Kettering debt.

That said, if someone owes me Â£58k, I want it back

Truro out of admin

http://www.nonleaguedaily.com/news/inde ... &nid=96331

Have to say, for all we don't like them, I quite like the tone of paras 2-5, however ungrammatical they is

Perton Pitman · Post by **Perton Pitman** » Tue Sep 03 2013 12:32 pm

Agree with the sentiment coming out of Truro, but it's certain that many other clubs are (and will be in the future) run by people who are blinded and don't heed the warnings around them.

As far as Kettering are concerned, one of the statements talks about them having to sell assets - I'm not sure they have any as they have no ground to call their own and the players won't be much cop

No, but read the previous link and you'll see that the reason they owe money to their former directors is that they lent them the money to pay off the tax debt; then didn't get their money back.

Dead impressed with your link though. If you see my name on there will you let me know please?

The Beerhunter · Post by **The Beerhunter** » Sat Sep 07 2013 1:54 pm

I did read the link, my point was that the debt was incurred under the regime of the previous Chairman so he was either directly or indirectly responsible and he's now trying to reclaim his loan.
I agree though that it seems that the present Hinckley Board haven't exactly gone out of their way to accommodate him although I'm lead to believe that there was no formal agreement to how and when the money should be repaid.
The link is pretty good, the London gazette list all the insolvencies and winding up orders.
