Waterford winding up order

[Nesta99]

Well its Waterford at home! 'Shadow of a Gunman' they are fascinating posters as WH has said.

look closer though. it is election campaign for CnaG

Brendan White reporting on twitter that the case has been adjourned for two weeks. No further explanation offered as of yet.

[Mr A]

Two weeks isn't much of an adjournment- do the friendlies with Man Utd and Crystal Palace fall before then?

The Man U one does, but not the Palace one.

Apparently the reason for the adjournment was that Waterford United changed legal teams and requested further time. Make of that what you will.

[Eminence Grise]

Make of that what you will.

Going ten at the back, holding out for extra time and hoping to nick it on the break...

[Mr A]

Seems odd to change your legal team so late in the day, hard to know what to think of that.

I think Waterford will come out ok in the end though.

Seems to me that Waterford have a great legal advisor who has every trick in the book to stall a case or hearing. Buying time so friendlies bring in funds to cover the cost needed to meet the winding up petition. The changed legal team is probably a pal of the current people and will provide the paperwork to make the adjournment justified and above board.

Saw over on twitter that the judge has said no more adjournments. Either an agreement is made in the next two weeks or the club will be wound up.

So after it being said the club are talking to Henderson re payment it seems they actually still haven't talked to him or at least made much of an effort to come to an agreement about it. I think Henderson should dig his heels in and not budge from what he is owed. A reasonable payment scheme should just be put in place. I know if I was him I'd be sick as a dog seeing players signing without getting a penny myself.

Hopefully it just gets sorted now ASAP and both parties can move on.

Simple delaying tactic until after the Man U under 16s game where Hendo will be handed a lovely big bag of dirty cash.

Waterford will then limp along until the end of the season before being put in a new top flight next year. Following this, as history has taught us, everything will then be wonderful forever.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

For once, I hope you are right.

IMO, We're F***ED, Up Sh*t Creek without a paddle, Sh*gged.

My gut feeling is that a long tradition of over 80 years of LOI Football in Waterford has a mere week left.

and this doesn't help - http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0720/463651-fai-agm/

pay your bills

Oh and by the way, just want to point out to ye, that the case Gary Dunphy took against the club was appealed and won, seen a few posts a few pages back bringing that into it.

[ATFC-1887]

surely ye raised alot from the Man Utd game?

[Longfordian]

Retweeting people giving out about the FAI will probably cost them some more money. The FAI don't respond well to that type of thing by all accounts.

An arrangement that had been in place for the last ten years and was ok'd by the FAI so Waterford did nothing wrong. How many other clubs have similar arrangements in relation to the affiliation fees?

This part in the article explains why we were singled out rather unfairly.

The highly unusual move to not have a press conference, meanwhile, followed an earlier refusal to allow FAI Council member Paul Cooke represent Waterford United at the meeting on the basis that the club has not paid its affiliation fees to the association.

Cooke, who has been critical of the way in which the issue of the association’s finances has been handled and who was recently been disciplined by the organisation after appearing on an RTE Primetime programme that dealt with the topic, suggested it was normal practice to agree to have such fees deducted from money due to clubs from the association.

What was the agreement?

The Irish Times article gives a glimpse of the rotten essence of the FAI

I know we've had the same arrangement in years gone by I don't know about now. Don't get me wrong I wasn't criticising Waterford over this just saying that the FAI could use the tweet as a further stick to beat you with. They're a sensitive bunch.
