Spoke to Rod prior to the game and thanked him for all he continues to do for our club
He said that there is only one person responsible for our relegation....

He looked gutted which isn't surprising after what he and hs Co Chairman have had to put up with especially of late....

Rod did the rounds in hospitality shaking hands with all comers and thanking them for their continued financial backing. Let's hope we can see them all return next season.

A big thank you from myself to all those who play a significant role in the running of our club. Their contribution is much respected and hopefully will prevail well into the future.

It's a Poor do if reports are true, that the BoD could of called us into administration by a certain deadline in March and taken a points deduction this season.

Starting a clean slate next season with no Jason Whittingam, when it was clear we could not score goals to keep us up this season.

Said it all along we should have taken the hit this season and started a fresh in national league.

Now who knows what next year might being which could see is in NLN

Seem to recall Rod saying Administration could have had very serious implications going forward.

In hindsight Admin may have been an option despite its longer term consequences.

Does that mean we will start next season in administration

Just hope we don't start the season on - 10 or worse

Rods face when I told him you had posted this, lol

Who are you referring too Mark

A director of any company can put it into administration.

thank you Brian for that link, just been reading it, and saved it for future reference.


just a snip from it

Who can put a company into administration?
Depending on the situation that the business is in, and how severe the financial issues may be, there are a few people who can put a company into administration. Typically, it is the directors who initiate the administration proceedings, though it can sometimes be company shareholders that start this process.

In more extreme cases, administration proceedings can be started by a bank through the courts. This means that the company directors have no choice in the matter and an Insolvency Practitioner will be appointed for them.

id urge fans to read this, so they understand the difference with administration and liquidation, and scenarios etc.

Imo a better/easier read for anyone interested, interesting note about if a club doesn’t have enough assets to pay off the creditors. All I can say is Be very thankful our BOD care so much about our club

I note Rod doesn't say that the Board did or didn't discuss administration in March. So please don't anyone accuse him of lying.

The Lad has a lot on his plate, I believe his default position is to protect the Club, as he sees fit, from many things including the ultimate actions of going down the road of administration or liquidation. He definitely try’s to keep the Club going and stop the club going under because of our poor owner, who’s actions are deplorable as an owner of a Football Club.

Rod and the BOD’s are not the enemy, but they have responsibilities and try their best to keep the Club going. I don’t think they get everything right, but who does and if they have ever deliberated over taking the Club into administration or liquidation who can blame them, it would have placated the fans who have believed for some time it was the best path too take, while shocking many others

The next 3-4 months are pivotal, for me let’s keep the Club going give it a go in the National League (not a fan going into administration now we are out of the EFL). One of the biggest issues is the NAPM campaign, yes I am joining it, but will it by itself push us into administration? NO!

Well if Whittingham sells its all rhetoric anyway isn’t it! and if he carry’s on saying he’s selling but he doesn’t, it’s on him. It’s all about what the effect of what Whittingham does and does not do, if he doesn’t fund the Club to the right level, that’s what is (and has), been destroying us, not the fans not, not Rod or the BOD’s, IT IS ALL ON WHITTINGHAM.

Lastly what I would say is if administration is ever seriously contemplated by the BOD’s they are open about it to the fans, what better way to put two fingers up at Whittingham, but by a common stand by the fans and the BOD’s standing together after being driven to distraction by a deplorable owner.

What is needed is a united front, not just the BOD’s taking action by themselves or a NAPM campaign by some fans trying to bring things to ahead. No we have in someways an independent BOD’s and we definitely have loyal passionate fans, if it’s ever done it must be jointly together that the way to do it. At the moment I think Whittingham has driven a wedge between the two, let’s stop him knocking it further in, making the divide between board and fans wider than the crack that is appearing.

If it’s ever done let’s do it together and put it all on Whittingham because it’s all on him.

The BoD are stuck between a boss they don't get on with / can't get rid of and customers who want rid of their boss. Who'd want their jobs?

If we went into Admin at the moment would the points be deducted from this seasons total, thus not being lost next season, which if the=at were to happen could be disasterous....there must be a date until which we are still members of the EFL

As has been pointed out, the cut off date for points deduction has already been passed 2 months ago
The rule is there for exactly that reason

The title of this post, and opening hearsay, invites speculative gossip about an individual member of the BOD,

Its pointless and disrespectful.

Completely agree!!!!
Very disrespectful to our co chairman

Completely agree
No need Neil

Though I made a contribution to this thread (hopefully it was balanced and not disrespectful to Rod), I get what Mr Potato-head is saying.

If administration is to be talked about let someone start a new topic on administration.

Will someone please explain where I have been disrespectful to Rod.....

Idiot! Not wasting my time on you.

To be fare the title of this thread was ok and on subject with no disrespect or disrespect meant to Rod but it goes off subject randomly and does become disrespectful sometimes

Clearly, it is allowed, because nobody has been stopped!
