Will any of the old directors be involved in the new club.
If the answer is yes, then what capacity will that be.

Re: Questions for the club. : Wed Dec 16, 2009 10:32 am  

I hope the directors of cougars 2001 ltd are not on any new board simply because to me what will change to stop this happening again, as under their stewardship we are in a mess again.
The new club has to start without direct link to the failures and I will be concerned if this is not the case.We can only mention the fact the directors saved the club for a short time as this becomes tedious based on events now happening.
Now that we are likely to be in administration as a result of non payment of tax and the effects of this regarding survival in the championship will be felt for a long time.
As individuals I have nothing against either director but only as directors resulting in the latest mess to me all the good work they did as been undone. Lets hope a new year brings positive changes.

Lets just leave it as question for the club.
If this thread gets filled full of comments, then the question may not get answered.

Why does the club seem to think there is little problem, and the new 2010 Cougars will take over - isn't this down to the administrator that gets appointed?
The main creditor appears to be HMRC - why would they accept less from an administrator when they were already quite prepared to see the club wound up on the 9th?
Doesthis mean other creditors suffer for the sake of HMRC?
Is all the above another display of the arrogance that has been endemic in the running of the club in its present guise and alienated so many supporters?
How deceitful have the current club been in their dealings with supporters - given the first question above, how can they guarantee season tickets will be honoured? Can they guarantee that now, today? (If the answer is no, everything thing said so far is about as stable and trustworthy as a house built on quicksand)
Is it an administrators duty to look after Cougars, or to obtain the best deal for the creditors? (Actually we all know the answer to that one)
Wouldn't the administrator be liable to civil proceedings by creditors if he failed to obtain the best deal for creditors by going along with some cosy deal already agreed in the background?
Dependent on the answers to the above, is there some confusion between hope and fact at the club and on the part of some posters?

Why is Gary Fawcett (The man who has sent one part of Link Telecom into administration) been allowed to talk to Neil Spencer and then suddenly set up a new cougar company so dispensing with Colin Farrar who has put a 6 figure sum into the Cougars - Is Neil still on the sidelines waiting for his investment to come back from the new company - this absolutely stinks!!!!!

I think Jeremy appears to have his own issues with Gary Fawcett for reasons known only to him and it concerns me he is getting grief for attempting and hopefully succeeeding in moving the club on.

Is this the right place to bring personal issues into the equation.

Jeremy please do not take offence by this its just my take on your posts.

Will the above questions be answered?

Who decided not to pay the tax bill?
(and why?)

What steps will be taken to ensure we are not thrown into the same disaster in another couple of years?

How much was the tax bill?

In the absence of other facts or information from the old board I can only see this as gross negligence.

If a bill is allowed to grow it reaches a point where it will be impossible to handle, its not rocket science.

Why was the bill allowed to become so large.
