Beauseant 0 Posted November 27, 2009 For those of you taking an interest, I''ve just been in touch with one of the players who''s had a text from the manager saying that the club has been saved. He doesn''t know any details, but it looks like there are some positive moves. If I get anything more concrete I''ll post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Many thanks for posting this Beauseant, much appreciated. Let''s all keep everything crossed that more positive news occurs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camuldonum 0 Posted November 27, 2009 It is currently a very confused situation and nobody seems to know what is going on. Bobbins has said that they will decide whether or not to appeal over the weekend or on Monday and, as Beau reported, the players claim to have been phoned and told to report for training on Tuesday. Hopefully something is going on in the background and it will get sorted. Problem is that there is much more debt than the tax man with some putting the total between £150-200k so there''s probably a lot of hard work to do here.

Beauseant 0 Posted November 27, 2009 There''s definitely something going on, but it''s all a bit cloak and dagger at present. I suspect that nothing official is going to come out tonight. However, I''m told that an appeal is going in, which wouldn''t happen unless some money had been put up. I also know that David Handley met with some local businesses last night and that it went well. Handley is the former Finance Director who claims to have a consortium which is prepared to step in, but will only do so if the current board step down. Whether this has happened is anybody''s guess.

Camuldonum 0 Posted November 27, 2009 I am certain you are right. Handley is the driving force in this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beauseant 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Have spoken to various people involved with the club today, but it''s still a bit vague. I know that a number of local business people have agreed to donate money and it seems that David Handley''s coalition is behind whatever is going on, and may be in talks with Ken Bobbins. I get the impression that Michael Chinn is the one that no-one wants to work with. However, all the coaches and playing staff have been texted by Heggs saying that the club is saved and that they are training on Tuesday. I also know that a meeting was held with the council (who own the ground) late yesterday afternoon, so maybe something positive has come from that.Sorry it''s not more concrete, guys, but I''ll update whenever I find anything out.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Whatever information you have is great and much appreciated, and if there''s anything we as supporters can do to help I am sure we will pull together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
