The silence is deafening.
What I don't understand is apparently it's not a case of Dr Xia having no money, just the logistics of getting it out of China,etc.
The tax man is the last person you want to keep waiting, but in my experience a structured payment plan is usually worked out to avoid the sort of reaction we've heard, maybe we've gone past that point but we need to know what is going to be done to get our great club out of the mess it's in.
I understand all including the kitchen sink was thrown at promotion, we just missed out, but there has to have been a Plan B surely?
That's it, we need a plan B.

How can we possibly avoid Administration if the very source of the monthly working capital gap funding has stopped paying?

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Absolutely, no money coming in, every minute of every hour of every day the debt increases.

Anyone else think that Bodymoor Heath becoming the Recon training ground might be an asset transfer to avoid it being seized for debt payment?

That Mirror article (though seemingly heavily influenced by Wyness) suggests that isn't the problem.

We need to hear something by close of business today, a firm structured plan of action, the silence is becoming deafening and all this speculation in itself could put the club under, loss of confidence running through the whole club, Xia needs to stand up and say " guys, nothing to worry about, just a glitch, panic over, on we go.

No we don't. You'd like to hear it, but you won't. What gives you the right to demand that sort of info?

Of course! Please explain to me why it should be different.

Have you ever heard of getting out front of a story? If Tony, I won't call him a Dr. anymore, is smart he will get in front of this before the media continues to misconstrue what is actually going on. We're being told about tax violations, capital extractions from foreign (communist) nations, payroll issues, reoccurring debts and we're pleading to BURNLEY (and toon) to advance a payment to keep us chugging along.

It's important for our owner and board to come out and address this issue. If the club is up for sale, we should be aware. If the club is going to enter administration, we should be informed. If the club just hit a minor blip and we'll press ahead, we should be reassured. It's better to hear the story from your club than from the press.

I'm not saying we have the right to know but what I am saying is, it's better to find out from within than from an outside source.

I'm going to be honest, I feel bamboozled and swindled. I can't say I didn't have reservations about Tont Xia taking over the club, I just didn't think it would happen this fast. A football club isn't a short term gamble, and to think that it could have been is foolish.

We're in deep shit and no mistake.  It's what happens when rich people either lose interest or the ability to keep coughing up.

Think Rongtian He and Tony Xia need to speak asap.
