Rumours of a 70 % budget cut, resulting in the majority of players having to leave the club, i think this tweet sums it up Annis

f**k the weddings, f**k the Sunday dinners, f**k the Xmas parties. Merthyr Town is a football club not a f*cking function hall. You’re a disgrace if what I’ve heard is true @MerthyrTownFC

IT JUT GETS WORSE FOR MERTHYR TOWN FOOTBALL TODAY
Final score, lost 13-1 against Chesham Utd
Merthyr Town were re-established in 2010 after originally founding in 1934
Evo-Stik Southern Premier League side Merthyr Town say 80% of their squad have quit the club.
It is understood the players have resigned due to financial issues.
"80% of the players have had to leave, but I am still in discussion with some players about staying," manager Gavin Williams said in a statement on the Martyrs' website.

Last night members of the board met with the players to discuss the clubs’ situation.
Friday 17th November 2017
After the meeting manager Gavin Williams met with the players individually.
“80% of the players have had to leave, but I am still in discussion with some players about staying. I am confident we will be able to field a competitive team, but it will take a bit of time.”
“I want to thank the players who have left for their contributions. The commitment and dedication every single player at the club has shown has been first class and they have been very understanding of the situation I have found myself in and acted brilliantly. The boys are gutted for each other, the management team and especially the supporters.”
“It’s a tricky situation we have found ourselves in, but we need to pull together now. We always have great support and we are going to need that now more than ever, which I am very confident will happen after speaking to some of the supporters. We need to create an us against the world mentality.”
“I know supporters are going to want to know as soon as possible what the make-up of the squad is going to be, but I don’t want to release bits and pieces here and there so please bear with me while I continue to work at it. I have been encouraged by the early talks I have had with a number of players and will announce more as soon as I can.”
“Thanks for your patience continued support.”
Gav.

Depends on if you pay the VAT attached to providing such services. There seems to be an outstanding £5,000 tax bill which means someone wasn't running the books properly.

Tony,
I know quite a lot that goes on at Merthyr and its been totally run by the Supporters Trust,they can only blame themselves, Nobody else if their house is not in order.
They wanted to run the club and never welcomed outsiders who wanted to invest unless they were in charge, thats how I found them personally.

Looks like time has proved you right.
