Ideas sound but sadly as much use as a chocolate fireguard, went to the last one n listened to the "Dons" Fairy Tales, unless they agree to a Lie Detector not much use.

Re: Transfer embargo
 

A lie detector isnt such a bad idea, at least if they lied we could plug them into the mains and shock them everytime they did it!

Re: Transfer embargo
 

Ha, ha, what a thought - I & i think many others would pay to see that :D

Re: Transfer embargo
 

As part of my business, I provide a lie detection service. It is not admissable in British law, but many people use my services for a wide variety of reasons - with most clients wanting to prove their innocence when accused of a domestic or social indiscretion.

Can you imagine a fan's forum using this equipment.

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT :D

Re: Transfer embargo
 

We won't be needing a fans forum, O'Neill has answered fans questions in today's Observer -doesn't say which fans they got the questions from but maybe the answers will put some people's minds at rest???................ And pigs might fly!

Re: Transfer embargo
 

Accymad - please reveal Ob report for us exiled Stanleyites - if memory serves, the accounts should have been filed by now according to the last 'official' statement a couple of weeks back. Embargo the lifted & John'nJimmy splashing the Scunthorpe dough.

Re: Transfer embargo
 

No problem, articles from today's paper aren't on line yet & it's a lot to type out but I'll post the answer he gives about the embargo if that'll do? Here goes -
Q. : Why is there a transfer embargo & when will it be lifted.
A. : The current embargo that the club is under relates to the new football league rules that were introduced this summer relating to the filing of company accounts. We have brought in new accountants to the club and as yet they are not totally happy with the closing balance from the previous accounts which obviously affect the opening balance for the current year that is due.
This is being addressed and will obviously be sorted in good time to enable the club to sign players ahead of the start of the season.
Two years ago we introduced a totally new computerised accounting system into the club which gives us up to the minute information on the position the club is in.
Literally, at the end of every month, we have all the financial information at our fingertips from how much was brought in from the store or Crown pub to what we spent on wages and medical bills.
This is vital in keeping the club in the black and making sure that we are staying on track to meet our targets.
Hope that does for now, not sure when this weeks Observer goes on line, would think tomorrow

Re: Transfer embargo
 

Accymad, you're a star. Doesn't sound like the "within 2 weeks" has happened does it.

Re: Transfer embargo
 

Not exactly no, another of his answers which mentions the accounts is to the question : Who actually owns the club?
A. : 'I do, it is not an ideal situation but one that I am confident that a conclusion confirmed at Companies House is imminent.
I do not flag myself up as owner as I believe it detracts from all the current issues we are resolving & I am not the sort of person that goes out of his way to carry that sort of boast anyway.
The finalisation of the deal with Eric Whalley does involve the outstanding accounts but they are only one of the reasons the share transfer has not been completed. So to reiterate, if you ask me who owns the majority share I would say I do, if you ask the board they would say I do, if you ask Eric he would say I do'
Doesn't make things much clearer does it? :confused:

Re: Transfer embargo
 

That's everything sorted then....
