Anyone know if the staff got paid today?

[halftimeresults]

Can someone tell me what the 40 k the board put in last week was for? Surely wages

Maybe HMRC for VAT and/or PAYE, they're very aggressive these days, especially if there's a history of late payment and aren't shy in calling in bailiffs to seize goods.

Maybe bank loan repayments, again, not shy in appointing administrators if loan repayments are overdue.

Maybe suppliers, i.e. food & drink etc for the pre-Christmas party season.

Maybe utilities such as business rates, water, power, etc.

Lots of other things need paying alongside the staff.

so it's more than 50 k a month we're losing?

My daughter works at The Globe..she received a text this morning to say that she had not been paid as yet..

Feel so sorry for anyone involved in this debacle. We're concerned about losing our football club but there are people who I'd guess are not on much more than minimum wage, who won't be able to pay their mortgages/rent/food & electric bill.

How much money have the Fans' Club got in their account? Personally, I'd be happy to see it used for small emergency payments to any staff member who needs one. The players will ultimately get paid by the EFL or PFA (whoever) but other staff won't be getting anything at the moment. Fans' Club using funds in this manner is surely within its constitution or remit as much as paying for ground improvements? Without the people, the club doesn't exist. If wages don't go in today, let's make 'good will' payments (preferably to be 'donated' back if/when salaries arrive) to try and minimise any hardship.

This is being looked into. It's not as easy as saying here's £100 pay us back when you get paid. But we are looking into it. It is another sad day.

Paul is there any chance to set up a just giving page today because we could take advantage of pay day today and it would be brilliant PR again

Appreciate it isn't that easy because then we'd be a loan company but it would be good if we could help. We may need to rely upon 'goodwill' to simply donate the money back?

Well the midnight hour approaches..wait.. did I see a flock of pigs flying through the fog with a bag full of dosh.... sarcasm mode off.

Another 24 hours ticks by and staff are left wondering if and when the money will appear...yet they are getting texts asking if they will work this weekend...

Would you?

Would be interesting to know who is sending the txts asking them to work. Do they not have the balls to ask them in person .

[Davison879]

I do not think it takes BALLS to ask the staff to work by text as should the person use his/her own fuel going round to everyone's houses? The staff have always been contacted by text, so this is not something new. Also the person texting is going into the Globe every day and they have not been paid, and no they are not the directors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please think before accusing anyone as ALL the staff are in the dark and worrying for their jobs.

[mrpotatohead]

Totally agree, the text will not have been sent by Cala or PMG, and everyone below that have nothing to be reproached for and in the case of staff and directors should be thanked by fans or doing whatever they can.

[twosheds]

My intention was not to criticise any member of staff...I admire anyone who is still 100% behind the club and is try to encourage others to do the same...it was just to point out the fact that texts had been sent out..

I've only been following Morecambe for a few years, but I still want this club to survive just as much as anyone else.

[Davison879]

That is fine twosheds, everyone is in a bit of a quandary over everything. No one want to fall out over other peoples shambles!! But do the staff work for no pay ? or do the staff down tools and let the people down who have events booked? I do not know the answer, but I will say this MY HUSBAND AND I WILL NOT WORK AGAIN ON THE OMEGA STAND UNTIL WE HAVE BEEN PAID !!
