10 point deduction immediately then if they did drop out of the Evo Stik would they come straight into our division our have to start from the first division?

No, they would replace one of the clubs in the NPL relegation berths, so therefore take the vacant space in the Premier Division. No room in the First Division next season anyway, all the spaces are allocated.
 
How will they afford the rent for the remainder of the season, surely we're talking another 8-10k still to pay?

Never mind afford the rent, who is going to fund the administration? Licensed Insolvency Practitioners don't do such things for free and as far as I know there are bugger all assets available to pay for their services.

What Happens When a Company Goes Into Administration?
When a company enters administration all company control is passed to an appointed administrator (who must be a licensed insolvency practitioner). The administrator’s primary goal is to leverage the company’s assets (!!!) and business to repay creditors as quickly and as fully as possible without preference. The administrator is given a period of 8 weeks to send out formal administrative proposals to all of the insolvent company’s creditors. These proposals will typically contain a basic plan of action that the administrator will follow to repay debts, information about the current status of the company, and the administrator’s anticipated outcome.
 
I wonder what Dave Thomas makes of it all. Is he still a paid employee?
 
According to the statement by MR on the NV website he is about to become the proud owner of a football club.
Well, owner anyway.
Well, part owner.
Well, supervisor of the ownership. Whatever that means.

Not sure he'll be able to pay himself much though. Suppose it depends how many 200 club tickets Coli'n can sell.

"information about the current status of the company"

Such as the latest up to date audited accounts??
 
The end is probably closer now than it has ever been.
It remains an emotional toplc for us all BUT rather than concentrating just on its death throes we need to be thinking how we promote a positive message about '74' on the back of the brief news story that will surround their end.
It will come over far better if we concentrate on what we are and ignore what they had become.

No reason why we can't do both Pete, if we ignore them completely theyre run amok.

It's not about ignoring them it's about how the message is perceived by potential fans of 74. The ordinary public are not aware of the local football politics - there are enough examples of locals still not knowing the difference between the two clubs to prove that - and if one wants to sell something whether it's football or a bar of soap you don't succeed by saying 'the other is crap so buy mine' you do it by showing you're products strengths.
The impending demise of Vics, or just the demise of their current status, is a tremendous publicity opportunity for us and we need to grasp it in both hands. It's a time for putting emotion to one side and thinking practically.
The message we need to get across is that NVFC is now just a name on a piece of paper at Companies House, the genuine green side of football is now carried forward by 74.
 
Which is another reason why the AGM stadium story (however much it may just be a glint in our collective eyes at the moment) needs to get out there into the local press etc. Smother their potential bad news story with our potential good news story.

Which looks better: "1874 unveil ambitious plans for a return to the town", or "Penniless NVFC appeal for sympathy and support" ?
 
Make sure it's not a middle page spread otherwise coli'n will pull them all out before he delivers them :p.
Does he have a 'proper' job btw?!
 
Thing is, if you don't watch them and what they're doing they try to rewrite history and pretend to people in the town that the club did nothing wrong.
 
I think you all need to take a deep breath and think. The narrative for NVFC could be much different from what you might wish it to be along the lines of " a group of die hard supporters stay with their team through really hard times and despite the actions of a number of owners who brought shame and ruin on a re-known non-league club, they have struggled through to regain control of their club. A fantastic victory for a small number of fans who would not give up on their club whilst others turned their backs and walked away". 1874 may not come out of that scenario without a few scars. Personally I would say don't let personalities get in the way of what could be a much different but altogether more successful future for 1874 and NVFC. Just a thought ..........your choice....... your decision.......but not everyone will understand the politics including your own decendants
 
I don't know if 1874 will have scar's,but Witton have after their connection to Mr Rushe.
 
You seem to be getting confused in who 74,s " walked away from". You may recall that It was the owner, and not the club. We were told that the club was none of our business !!.

If the idea of a " merger" between " JRFC and 74" is in your mind then then think again.

Or another view is that:

"The vast majority of loyal fans could not stomach the way that their football club - which they had supported so loyally and in so many ways for many years - was being run and the way that this was discrediting them and the town.

Allied to this was how the owner had demonstrated that he was completely unwilling to let those who had the main interests of the club - the fans - to even have a minor say in how the club was managed, despite his clear ineptitude in managing it.

So, they took the brave decision to take a risk and - despite the derogatory comments of the owner re their ability to do so - break away on their own and run a new football club.

And their decision to do so has been fully vindicated by the fact that the former owner has recently been jailed for several years for dealing Class A drugs whilst the club we once supported now finds itself subject to its third administration in the past 12 years"

Meanwhile, the new club continues to do well and is sustainable and has a bright future ahead".
 
I think that Knutsfordian has a very valid point as I have had dealings with the Press myself and know how they can take a different angle on things.

This is a very local story and would be covered by the local newspapers only and their regular reporters who know the saga of NVFC, JR, Connett, the Drill Field and the Gang of Three would report the present story within the context of that background.
