Part of a naughty scheme which was found out by the HMRC a few years back..

No I think you may be getting confused with royalty payments that other clubs were guilty of making to players to avoid tax.

Did Ms Darcy not use any good business-speak ?
I have been trying to recall a word used when a soccer club went a bit wrong,but my memory is shot.
Amortisation may not be relevant to this particular matter but may be to investors.
When it comes to business my ignorance is bliss.
Well done for attending and thanks for the update.

The official club statement acknowledges the players adding to the WUP but also says the payments aren't due until the end on November. If this is the case how can they be added to the petition? I've not really got a clue about these things but common sense says to me that if the payments aren't due until end of November and it is currently only the end of October then there isn't a problem is there?

Good to see the club getting statements out in a timely fashion - I wonder if the usual detractors will give the club any credit for doing just what they've been demanding?

To answer Ledge787, anyone can "say" they are owed money, that's the purpose of the court hearing - if they've added themselves to the petition and it's subsequently found that they are in the wrong then the costs of the club defending themselves could be awarded against the petitioners I believe.

Am I reading this right? Patten and Anderson supported the WUP petition that could have put the club out of business this morning and their former teammates and colleagues out of work for contractual payments that are not due to them until the end of November.

Well the clubs says:
".....however the club maintains that payments owed to these players will be made on time and in advance of the second court date.
This matter relates to contractual payments not due to be made until the end of November."

Presumably the two concerned believe otherwise.

Who is right?
Who knows?

HMRC don't tend to get involved if they payment plans are maintained. They will monitor the situation.

4.9 relates to service and notice of a petition I think.

This probably explains alot of Pattens moaning if he deferred wages. I wonder how much he earned if he is owed 40,000. (too much for what we got)

With both players being out of contract, how can the money owed to them be due in November?

was anybody knitting in the gallery?

Seriously you are clutching onto these if you think the powers that be need a high 5 for telling people what everyone knew anyway!




Barton Flyer you name suits because your head in well untruly stuck in the clouds. Please see what the rest are seeing and conform to acknowledging the grim reaper that John Wilkinson and his inept colleagues have left the club at deaths door.

Another gem from the bard.

Damned if they do,and damned if they don't.
Par for the course on here

Think for once the club seem to be doing this right, released statements when the WUP was started and pretty quickly after todays hearing.

Sure we'd all like a daily update on the take over/investment but if all parties don't want details being released then the club would be a little stupid to risk anything by making any comment on it.

I more can't wait to see how long after anything is announced or signed before the regulars start a new witch hunt, fault finding knobber athon again.

ProgrammerThrower - you never disappoint!!

Very good at words. For the last two months that's all they have given you and they are still doing it.

One explanation could be that player contracts run between November and November. November is usually the time pre season training begins and new players/signings officially start. The term 'Out of Contract' simply means they won't be contracted to play for Salford in the 2013 season.

Also when did Luke Patten first come over to Salford? Didn't the club make a special allowance for him to join the club later than usual in January 2011. In my book 2 years from when he actually started working for the club would actually be January 2013.

No that was the image rights dodge. I'm talking about the lump sum at the end of the contract dealy, farmed out to offshore accounts.

That Made me laugh coming from a Leigh Fan, your BOD have been doing it for the last month, We will take 5 wigan players next year but will claim we are not in a partership!, Deny everything even though everyone knows Your wigans Bitches !!!!

Oh hello faxhali. See you are still being selective with your words. I think it wad actually along the lines of upto 4 or 5 players on DC who won't necessarily play. Shut your hole until the end of the season and you can come back with Halifax (leighs new bitches) took no one on loan or DC in 2013. As it is at least one of the players identified looks like he'll be going to Salford instead.

Ahahahaha, Love the Banter, Yes, fax got bitched last year by leigh, Fair play, cant argue with that one......
We may take a few loaned players but wont be getting any dual registered players as there will be none left with all this twinning Bollox. Im looking forward to next years games to be honest. Will be even more competative than last year.

Can you children play elsewhere, please? Thanks.

The only Marquee will be where the media conference is held.
