In fairness repointing is standard maintenance. The other is an absolute sign of the neglect of this club for the past 25 years. Disgusting from all who could have and yet didn't make a difference 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are, from the construction to the numerous photos I have seen over the years. Any redevelopment of the Kop should incorporate these. Pretty simple to do too. Along with providing long overdue concoursing for that stand itself 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 So the PFA involvement hasn’t yet produced a good outcome - I e wages still not paid. Sounds more and more worrying every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) The issue needs forcing by a creditor, any other business and the Receivers would be through the door already.

striker Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Wasn't it widely reported that part wage payments were being paid up to £7k per month? Therefore, why has a 'young pro' only been paid for one week. Not defending the indefensible, but doesn't sound right. Could well be knowing Chansiri though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff74 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I heard that the PFA were mediating between the club and players this week, with penalties being imposed if things weren't resolved pronto. So if any wages still aren't being paid at this stage, it isn't looking too promising. The certificate issue is just another cherry on top of the s h i t cake. I am glad that I have never once considered quitting alcohol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He anticipated the price would rise to £120m by now, but with the reduced capacity it's looking like it's now worth just £115m.
