WHY ?

Sun Jan 31, 2010 2:58 pm

someone may have asked this already, and im sure most who answer will only be forwarding what they have heared or read on other boards but im going to ask none the less.

ok were not getting any new players, the reported £3 million we raised from advanced ticket sales has now been earmarked for payment to the tax man, ok we have to deal with that and move on and hope we dont get any bad injuries to key squad players, but my question go's beyond that, why if this money is being used to pay the tax man do we need to sell off land and assets, also what has happened to the 1/4 million (excluding ticket reciepts) we have made in the 2 rounds of the FA cup ?

im at a lost to why we need this extra cash.

also upon completion of the new stadium, we were told (info off the official board) that it had been completed on time and within budget, so why do we now find out they were 7 million over ?

not had a good look around this site yet too see whos on here but im sure there is someone close to the boardroom with this info ?
im not on here to slag off risedale if he had to spend the cash to keep us afloat thats fine but we need truth not lies

Welcome to the board :ayatollah:

The 3 million pound it seems has not been earmarked for the tax bill and this is the reason why Paul Guy is buying the piece of land for 1.8 million that was earmarked for a hotel off the club and this will help towards paying the tax bill.

If the 3 millon has been used for everyday running costs like wages then we are fucked! If with the current attendances and season ticket sales we cant break even then we need to have a serious look at ourselves.
