[Archived] Can't afford to pay players wages?

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Is there any truth in the reports on SSN that we can afford to pay the players wages?

The end is nigh

[John]

Was it a report?

The media reports stated that we needed £10 million, where is this going to come from?

[Guest Rovers4Good]

It was on Sky Sports News this morning but i only got the end of it.

People were saying "D-Day" regarding Barclays was yesterday, so if Venky's failed to put the money into the bank than Barclays would refuse to extend their credit and as a result the players wages wouldn't be paid. I'm assuming it's that info SSN is going off, I would like to think it isn't true but with Venky's who knows?

I've said since day one these headless chickens had no money - billionaires in India maybe but once currency changed over its about £30

Thought all this bank stuff was put to rest earlier this month?

Also find it amusing that SSN cannot understand the fans anger towards the owners and Kean even with these stories floating around.

[bob fleming]

No article on their website from what I can see. They usually put stuff they broadcast into an article or video clip. I'd be surprised if any of this was true because I also understood that this had been put to bed. I'm sure it'd be all over the news if it wasn't.

Funny time of the month to be paid as well I'd have thought? I don't think you can rule anything in or out. Expect the unexpected or the expected.

'put to bed' by who?

[Claytons Left Boot]

Sky have probably picked up on the Independent report where it was mentioned that should Venky's not deposit £10m in the bank account, then there was a risk of Barclays not extending the club's credit and thus the players not being paid beyond this month. Not that they wouldn't be paid, just a risk.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

As i said cannot 100% confirm the article was solely about this subject but they for sure mentioned they couldn't pay the wage bill and that Barclays bank won't give them anymore money unless they give some back

[Mercer]

WBA don't have that problem !!!

WBA made a profit of £9mfor the financial year ending 30 June 2011 allowing them to reduce their net debt from £10m to £2m #BRFC#Venkys lol

[EwoodDawn]

Am I remembering correctly - did Glen M mention in the last podcast that there might be some stuff to come out re. the bank? Is this it?

Well SSN were at Brockhall yesterday trying to dig the dirt on Samba, it never happened - so they are using this old story to stir it up, SSN is going way down to a kind of daily star of the sports media.

[ctwilky]

Venkys are never to be trusted they don't even talk the get other people to do it for them - do they even make decisions???

At least we are not as bad off as Darlington ( yet :!: )

AFTER 129 years of history and only eight months since lifting the FA Trophy at Wembley, Darlington came perilously close to its demise yesterday.

A frenetic three hours of twists and turns saw it saved, for now...

• Noon – Administrator Harvey Madden tells Craig Liddle and players club is to go into liquidation
  
• 12.30pm – DFCRG understood to be rushing to Neasham Road with £50,000 to keep club going
  
• 1.15pm – Madden meets DFCRG at secret location, while Raj Singh says he remains open to negotiations
  
• 2.30pm – Madden accepts deal to keep club running for next three games.

What I can`t understand is why people start threads like this without making sure of the facts first.No wonder there is so much crap being spread about the club.

Strange that I have had SSN most the day, yet not heard anything about Rovers / wages. Mentioned possible loan signings, poss new assistant. But money, debt, bank etc nowt.

It's been reported by 2 differing media outlets today, Guardian and Sky. The deadline for the bank was yesterday, i would say it's pretty obvious it's a real threat.

[ABBEY]

so has it been on sky yes or no?

No I mean why spread completely unsubstantiated rumours.This is what "darker forces at work" refers to,lol you know the old saying "If they can`t find a bad story they`ll make one up" mind you theres enough actual crap going around anyway.

Seriously, how can you sit and watch SSN all day?

Natalie Sawyer & Hayley McQueen will be my preferred answer.
