You really don't get it do you. If you gave someone £200 and they gave you 5 pence back I bet you would be well pissed off. If you say no you are a) a liar and b) stupid.
Why should your creditors accept that detrimental return? When we almost went bust, we still paid all creditors back in full, because that is the right thing to do. The people who have run your club are at best useless, at worst corrupt.Their actions are indefensible. It is certainly not our fault this has happened to your team
YES we do get it and it's all we've talked about for the last few weeks. Have a look at our forums. We know that the club has not lived within it's means. We know more than anyone else how mismanagement, missed opportunities, lack of commercial income and behind the scenes stand-offs have got us into this situation. Make no mistake about it, our club has been grossly mismanaged for years and it's the fans (as ever) who have suffered the most. We understand the concept of administration. We understand the morality issues in settling a £2,000,000 bill for £50k.
The people who have run our club have been clueless, or corrupt, or both. That's not our fault. The new consortium are left to pick up the pieces. They had no option but to put us into administration. The league rules dictate that we lose 10 points. We took our punishment and survivied. But you would rather we go bust than you go down a league.
Like I said, don't expect anything from us the next time Alty are looking for votes of sympathy, or if you guys ever go into administration (it could happen, you know).
Jezza. Understand your points perfectly and difficult to argue with them. The only reason I posted is because people were saying 'We aren't hoping Halifax go bust', when in fact you are. I'm not saying we wouldn't be the same in your situation. But to then go on and deny it is laughable.
