Really appreciate you relaying what you find. You'll just get a lot of responses because what you are relaying is absolutely bat shit crazy stuff.

Did Mcguire take a detour on the way back to the states?

This is the bit for me. After last season why wasn't anyone getting confirmation? It's not like it was uploaded at 10:58 and they noticed a couple of minutes later. They had hours for someone to think "did we get an acknowledgment email, maybe we should double check it's gone through" Yeah it's a big cock up on the part of one person but the whole group should shoulder some blame for not checking.

The EFL appeals board probably spend more time with our lawyers than they do with their own families.

There's no chance in hell they're shelling out for a flights to the USA

If we could start with the owners getting behind us that would be great

Wonder if JDT will pick Leo in his first Sweden squad 🤔

If its not for the public domain he shouldn't be saying it in a fans forum. Leaking the information shows him up to be unprofessional and slimey. If the club gets sued, I don't really care at this point. It can only push us closer to admin.

I don't have a problem with the fans going personally, if you get the chance to call waggot a prick to his face, take it but it's this secrecy bit that baffles me, what do they owe waggot to keep his secrets for him? If he's announced the sacking of the manager before due process has been followed (or something else), leak it and expose him for the unprofessional dick he is.

J*B blink twice if waggot told JDT is getting the boot

Knowing us they probably got given the paint protect but someone forgot to give them the car

Well if JDT goes I'll have one eye on his career and hope he goes places. Complete opposite to when kean left and I hoped he'd never find another job in football

Yeah, if you're out of nappies, you're on the council

This guy started off well, I thought the jist was going to be don't blame the middle management, blame the owners which is fair enough. HOWEVER, he took a sharp unexpected turn at the end - basically its not the fault of middle management because these requests come from head office and they pump money into the club so it's fine.

Last year we filled it out wrong didn't we? And didn't get the correct info to them till after deadline

Instinctively yeah, I think Wharton puts them safe - buts is liquidity and cash flow that's the key over the accounting losses. The Wharton fee is installments and presumably they've structured it in a way to meet our cash commitments over the coming year - but you never know with our lot.

Sonethings between the reporting date of June and the sign off date is potentially relevant as they have to report significant post balance sheet events (or events after the reporting period). It's normally just a note to the accounts though and wouldn't change the numbers. More relevant is that they also have to be confident that the organisation will be a going concern for atleast 12 months from the date of signing. I've said a couple of times that with the indian court situation, I wouldn't sign it off as a going concern so I'd imagine the auditors are voicing some concerns. The directors have to make a similar declaration that it's a going concern so I wonder if our FD wants to avoid declaring it a going concern and then it being plunged into administration.

To add to that, I've recently done some voluntary financial controls work at a Multi Academy Trust, where they had a Finance Director but no Controller / HoF and it was really inefficient not having the two roles.

I thought this too. Like you though I'm cautious of seeing what I want to see. I just don't understand why they'd take the fall for a botched transfer so their reason for leaving must be something else.

From the accounts point of view does the going concern assessment has to cover a period of atleast 12 months from the sign off date. Does the £18m cover us for a year? (The rest is add-ons isn't it?). I'd say the fact that we have to go to court to get funding means that the owners can't provide a letter of comfort/ support to cover our losses. I'm personally very interested to see our accounts when they're signed off.

I hope the efl appeals board say something like "same time next year Gregg?"

If that's actually what happened 1 - it's a fucking shambles 2 - as a club, I am out and out lying about it. Saying we did click submit but for some reason the system hasn't registered the submission. Presumably we can prove everything was completed properly and on time

Yep typical Burnley fan

You mean email?

Wait, do we actually use a fax machine? I thought that was a joke
