Under an embargo?


Recommended Posts

17.3 in full…

 

Consequences of a Default Event. Without prejudice to the general position (pursuant to Regulation 44.4) that all registrations must be approved by The League, a Club which is subject to a Default Event shall be subject to a registration embargo such that it shall not be permitted to register any Player with that Club without the prior written consent of The League for the period that the Club is subject to a Default Event.

17.3A Regulation 17.3 will not apply where a Club suffers a Default Event due to the failure to

discharge a COVID PAYE Liability and has entered into a Time to Pay Agreement and is

compliant with the terms of that Time To Pay Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,

where a Club defaults on the terms of a Time to Pay Agreement, and such default results

in all outstanding amounts becoming due to HMRC immediately, the Club shall remain

subject to a Default Event until such time as the outstanding amounts are paid or included

within any other Time to Pay Agreement.

If you don’t have to pay a bill until Jan and it’s not stopping you sign players etc, why would you pay. I’m sure I must be missing a subtlety here, right?

All well and good until the winding up petition comes in. Also what if he can’t pay in January? Same shit different day for the last 5/6 years with Chumpsiri, Percy is right we need new ownership

Especially when you’ve just spent a load on paying off a manager and bringing in a new team?

As long as we are upto date with HMRC we wouldn't be under an embargo

Am I missing the bit about January, where is that said.

The last accounts albeit now way out of date showed a stupidly large, circa 9m debt IIRC.

There was already time to pay arrangements for Covid debt - which should have been cleared by now. So if its that or new tax debts then it is deeply concerning. HMRC are not taking any prisoners at present.

I appreciate there are plenty of Chansiri sympathisers on here, but frankly this is fucking shocking that 11 years after the last nonsense that risk is evident again

Proof that Chansiri is no longer a fit and proper person to run this club

Been out so only just seeing this news so not read anything else 

But there is no defence for this 

And I get bored of some on here being apologists for his actions, blind to the fucking mess that has been created on and off the pitch.

To give some numbers, the last accounts showed a tax debt due less than 1 year of £8.3m. This had moved from long term creditors in the 2021 accounts. Thus I suspect this is VAT as that was permitted to be deferred under the various covid schemes. PAYE generally wasn't.

I don't get the "it will be fine if he pays by January".

For starters we don't know the quantum owed. If he pays it then there is fuck all cash flow for signings anyway 🤷

Not one of the apologists seems concerned that amounts are overdue in the first place. A decently run business as no PAYE debt, no VAT debt etc. Its not good business practice at all to not pay these liabilities when they fall due.

I accept there is no one out there with deep pockets ready to rescue the situation, but more and more the evidence is neither as Chansiri.

The cynical me is now thinking the all rants on social media were engineered to create a fan reaction, to then justify "no more funds" when is it the reality there are "no more funds"

It’s depressing .. just hope we get statement from club before Sunday kick off clarify the details of the event .. similar to Luton from 2021.

The reality is did Chansiri find £8.3m plus enough cash to run day to day operations over the last 12 months.

Seriously and I will get slated for this, as and when season tickets go on sale in December any supporters need to grasp this money is totally unsecured and is simply disappearing into a hole.

Could it be he’s not paying it and it needs to come from the club cash flow .. I.E. no more extra investment.

Yes the collection side is run by people you could happily punch, but genuinely how many of the clients that you work on are in arrears on the PAYE and VAT.

Most my cash goes into hole nowadays to be honest .. blew £300 watching us play at Watford after beer, travel and tickets

Is there no end to this absolute depressing situation. It's just one thing after the other now, isn't there any way out. We turn up in numbers and support the club and team through thick and thin and we all deserve better.

Especially whilst in the league position we're in, the Staff and Team shouldn't have to put up with this, they're lacking confidence enough and this will just worsen things. I was so looking forward to Sundays game (still am truth be known) and then we get this hammer blow which just deflates supporters, it has to have an influence on the players. God knows what Rohl and his staff are thinking. Fact is the bloke is skint and gaslighting with the "I'm not putting any more money in," because of the fans attitude. He hasn't got any.

I've been searching the internet this evening in search of some positives, the lemmings on stalk as expected are all suicidal and searching the site for a DC supporter to pummel. So I thought i'd pop over here for some positivity and there seems to be a grim reality taking over even on here and that is bad news.

The one comment that really hit home was from Twitter and pretty poignant and depressing, can't remember the blokes name or exact words now but it went along the lines of- "I've said it for sometime now, Chansiri has it in his head that if there's no Sheffield Wednesday and Dejphon Chansiri then there'll be no Sheffield Wednesday."

I'd like to think the bloke who posted that is way wide of the mark, but I'm not so sure that he is.

Just another example of how amateurish we are as a club.

I’ve backed and supported Chansiri right up until he appointed Munoz, and this is a further reason to doubt and question whether he is a fit and proper person to run/own the club.

It’s getting beyond a joke now and even I just wish he’d fuck off, but who out there would pay top dollar and be prepared to take on this shit show and what is fast becoming a total joke of a football club?

The club only pays two things to HMRC, PAYE/NI and VAT. For it to be VAT due earlier this month it would have been from 31 August quarter. It is entirely possible as that would be linked to the club still using the quarters from the old year end of May. Or it could just be last month’s PAYE. 
Or it could be old deferred amounts as mk points out.

Anyway, this is clearly not a good development. The hope to cling on to is it just a short term thing and clears up over the next couple of weeks.

Also I think the reason some are talking about January is that no one cares about an embargo until then. Perhaps not realising the potential more serious consequences of all this. 

That’s where I was coming from. A combination that it’s a short term thing, that will be cleared up in the coming days or weeks and therefore not impact us in January. I’ll wait to see what happens but think it would be wise to make a statement before the game tomorrow, otherwise the action/inaction of DC will overshadow the game, which Rohl and the team absolutely don’t need at this point.

We’ve 30 days to pay it or it’s likely we’ll see a similar punishment to Wigan who are banned from paying fees for 3 full windows

I’ve been told that a payment that was due this week to HMRC is late hence the embargo. We have 30 days to pay from the point of the late notice - if we fail to pay the embargo is enforced. 

The point is this is not current debt, HMRC would not be on your case for missing the Sept wages PAYE payment. Probably not even the last VAT quarter.

And for the EFL to move so quickly suggests we are "on watch" 

I don't really give a shit about an embargo, it's more whether Chansiri simply now has limited cash resources. Or is this him showing what he meant by no additional funding - I refuse to use the word investment for this, it is funding to cover trading losses nothing else.

13 years ago now but are we turning full circle, that is my immediate concern

The club has to self report if they miss a payment so it’s not necessarily due to HMRC taking action

I understand this but the reality is if a Club is not paying its debts as they fall due, then whether we can be active in a transfer window seems to be the least of our worries. Indeed I suspect we have fuck all money to spend in the window

True but do any of us really know the current status of our tax payments. All very reminiscent of 2010 for my liking and is HMRC the next to be on our case ?

The fact the 2022 accounts suggest we owed 8.3m notwithstanding that Chansiri will have funded losses of say 6m last year 

You know as an auditor this is one of the red flags

If this is a late payment then could it have just purely been missed as Dooley was leaving?

If I owned a company and employed a COO then I'd be expecting them to be handling this sort of stuff. 

Clutching at straws you don't forget stuff like this

My feeling Alistair may not have the authority to sign the cheque or use the company credit card .. poor processes at the club which we know is the reality of D.C. management more than malevolence.
