Midlands Robin Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) A month overdue goes beyond a simple "they're in the post" excuse. I don't see the point in delaying the release even if the picture they paint is pretty grim. Any investor worth his salt will want to see every page in the book before plonking his cash in a high risk venture such as a football club. It's not like the club is run by a bloke who looks like a used car salesman trying to off load a failing club to a bunch of gullible foreign investors based on nothing more than a few images and hazy contracts with no concrete plans behind them. I mean who would be daft enough to fall for that? Edited May 7, 2019 by Midlands Robin 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean who would be daft enough to fall for that? The picture however shouldn't be "pretty grim"; the headline loss will be lower than last year (no UWE write down, player sales made) and there will be considerable headroom left in the £15m credit facility from Dwane Sports. I can't see what financial reason there would be not to publish them other than some huge prior year error which seems unlikely. Which then leaves non-financial reasons: Are they in dispute with their accountant or auditor? That even the dormant company accounts haven't been published, so incurring a fine, hints at this. The accounts would take less than an hour to put together. Is there a material post balance sheet event that they wish to keep secret? This seems likeliest IMO; the auditors would want it noted that sale (of club, of ground) negotiations were underway but the AQs would want to keep that quiet until all the contracts were signed. On top of this it really is treating the minority shareholders - supporters who bought shares to help fund the club - very shabbily indeed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as it stands... Rovers currently are unable to sign players until they get their accounts in, and as far as we know are without a training ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The groundsman just needs to give the grass a trim and mark the pitches and tinkety tonk, it’s ready for action.

At the moment Mangotsfield have a better production line of talent than Rovers- and that's not even me joking to mock them. There was Britton who we signed and was also offered a contract by Sheffield United, and there's another lad who recently had a trial at Burnley. Think they've just linked up with SGS too which (IIRC) is where we got Semenyo from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
