EdinburghLivi Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) I'd imagine the press are going to have a field day tomorrow unless they can get it sorted before the banks close today... Did they seriously not pay it after they promised to? I hope the players strike. Edited January 5, 2009 by EdinburghLivi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest el bawbag Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 And do we not deserve it? perhaps but wishing points deductions etc. upon your own club is out of order imo, my loyalty is to the club not the players(although i do really feel for them) or the board or the manager etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a points deduction gets the players paid and those lying arseholes out of our club then I'm happy. If we have to take a trip to the seaside league briefly for that to happen, then so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't even be slightly concerned that the relegation that could result from a 15 point deduction might be the thing that ultimately kills your club off? If the players are getting messed about as has been suggested then I don'tt hink too many folk could blame them for taking such action, but it is surprising that a Livingston fan would actually want them to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said as long as we survive. I'd be much happier with a stable club in the second division than this joke in the first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi 293 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I personally hope the players don't strike. You know, me having bought a season ticket and wanting the club to stay in the league and all. I would be shocked if McPake is captain next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenC Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Hang on. Hoad the boat here. Take a step back for a minute here. Let's just re-cap. We've got players and staff being paid weeks late. We've got creditors que'd up out the court trying to file for their money. We've got bailiffs and sheriff officers visiting the club to recoup these monies and then these costs being paid on CREDIT CARD. We've got local businesses being pissed off right left and center which could be why so much is being sourced from Italy. We've got our club chairman publicly calling stalwart supporters fake and accusing them of having an ulterior motive... We've got the same chairman barring TRUST members from a TRUST organised open meeting. We've lost a top manager on a mutual agreement after, allegedly, becoming concerned about the finances. We've got our club captain and long standing servant McPake stating that he wants away ASAP and they can't 'cover it up' any longer. This is just un-be-fucking-lievable! What the f**k is going on?

Ted Stryker Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I can understand him being a bit pissed of lately about his wages but surely now McPake has the least to worry about in the Livi squad. Sounds like he is trying to engineer the move as it suits him!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AND180Y Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Four different people have Livi/Lionheart in court this week. Even Flynn's favoured Biggart Baillie (Solicitors) are suing them. I wondered why he was using different ones to sue the LFC. Edited January 5, 2009 by AND180Y 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 The big question!!! Will they get paid today? The Herald is reporting that the wages went unpaid again yesterday, but that the "The board met with the squad yesterday to inform them of thier intention to honour the debts in the next 24 hours and it is understood that they have even promised to pay the players in cash". So, pre-Christmas - missed. 29 December - missed 31 December - paid 3 missed the rest 5 January - missed That is a hell of a banking cock-up. Thank goodness footballers don't have any financial committments of their own... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCL Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wages will be paid today according to Radio Scotland. Phew, that's ok then. I wonder if the club will pay the player's bank charges for missed direct debits due to lack of funds in their accounts ? I've a feeling that this banking cock-up was actually the account being arrested by a creditor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that they will be paying the salaries from Italy to avoid the cash being arrested in their UK account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but my belief is, like Hearts, they move the money into a central account to pay out the salaries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
