The
BBC are reporting that Boston United are having yet another crisis after a
proposed takeover of the club has fallen apart after due diligence procedures
found "discrepancies in accounts dating back to 2001." And like anyone
is surprised!
The
club owe the Inland Revenue around £1m and this debt is due to be called in in
June 2007. The deal with Leeds based Standing Alone Ltd was supposed to
guarantee the club's future which has been in doubt due to the local council's
refusal to let then develop a new ground and build on York Street. The deal was
announced by Judas Jim Rodwell (left) just under three weeks ago at
BUFC's official site.
During DiggerDagger.com's lay off events at York Street have continued much
as normal; money troubles, Manager and Ex Chairman convicted for defrauding the
Inland Revenue, team under threat from relegation, revolving door in the
boardroom. Its just like "Dream Team" for Boston United but without
the good looking women (or men for that matter).
My personal favourite in recent weeks has been the holier than thou attitude
from dear old Steve Evans with regard to a potential points deduction for
relegation rivals Accrington Stanley for playing an ineligible player. Here is the
BUFC official site's report on that particular pile of guff from Mr Evans for
posterity.
I recommend not reading this while eating or drinking.
