Under what rule?

I was told it was money given to them for players and coaches and backroom/administration staff. Crusaders actually owed over a million. After 700k a big wedge of the rest of the debt was owed HMRC which i am told they went into administration ro wipe this off and HMRC have basically taken their bat and ball when it comes to using repayment plans for paying tax back so insteading paying back in instalments we have been asked to pay a bill in full. Not sure how true this is but if is there could be other clubs in the firing line.

I meant when the licensing comes around again. Isn't one of the criteria to do with the financial state of the club?

indeed. I expect administration to be a major negative in their licence application. But not necessarily a fatal one.



Similarly, I expect the fact that we're not playing in the new stadium we promised in the 2008 bid to be a weakness in our 2011 bid. But, as long as there's progress in building it and it's likely to be ready for the 2012 season, I certainly don't expect it to be a fatal one.

The last nail i fear

Rodney Walker seems to be keeping a low profile, or does he know something and wants to keep his distance from wakey till it all blows over?



Seems like a waste of his hundred and odd grand lol



After all the polecats gloating over the last 6 months or so I feel we deserve a little chuckle

maybe the same one that went against Widnes last time, or has that been forgotton ???

The one that saw Widnes readmitted to the league they'd been playing in before administration, but with a points deduction? You mean exactly the same as has happened with Crusaders? Or do you mean thatnder that rule, they should have been treated differently to and far harsher than Widnes, outside the scope of the actual rule?





Or do you mean it should be taken into account when their licence application for 2012-14 is considered? [url=http://viewtopic.php?p=15755537#p15755537I not only agree it should, but I expect it will be[/url



Indeed, I fully expect every bid submitted for this April to be judged on its merits. The problem for Trinity is that, looking from outside without obviously knowing the details, the merits of any bid submitted by them seem to be getting fewer and fewer, almost with each passing week.

page 2 of this weeks league weekly - Danny lockwood rips into Ted Richardsons management of the club, it does not make good reading at all

The management of Wakey is and has been appalling for the past 20 years or so. Too many family members involved and not one decent businessman.

Ted Richarson LE today



" So far we have received about 14 cheques"



"We are probably going to have a winding-up hearing in February"

That's an understatement and a half.



I do feel sorry for the fans, their club as been run so poorly over the years that it puts them into this predicament.
