Re: Southend gate receipts

Thanks Quaker85 & Maurice_Peddelty. I knew the Shrimpers had not paid their players for Jan or Feb & 1st March was their HMRC court date, hence had assumed we had not got our share of the FA Trophy gate receipts. Hope it has gone into our new ground fund! I think they had to pay over gate receipts ...

Re: York sack another manager

I wonder if their Trust could persuade him to part with 2% of the shares? Why would Henderson want to do that. His "investment" then becomes worthless. As he would be unlikely to be able to find someone to buy his minority share later Its a dream scenario for Trust, but I can't see why Henderson wo...

Re: Non League Football Funding Fiasco.

I honestly think nothing will happen for historic acts. If I am not mistaken those who were responsible have already left the board. They can't be removed from their positions. They won't be able to be pursued individually. The money isn't going to come back from those clubs. The Bernstein review f...

Re: Fan Owned

Fan owned is great in principal but for us to proceed up the leagues and not have to constantly sell players then something needs to change in the way fans fund the club. Short of being one of richest 4 or 6 clubs in England, every club is a selling club. If you want to stop Darlington being a sell...

If Askey did approach board saying he needed/wanted to leave for personal reasons as per club's 2nd statement...isn't that something private between him & board & not something board should have disclosed?

Possibly a case for Askey to sue York for breach of implied term of privacy.
