Kilmarnock FC - Winding Up Order

[Prof. Shaggy]

Killie served a winding up order this morning.

[surreyhibbie]

Sorry to hear that, a bit unexpected?

[gackohibs]

[#FromTheCapital]

[HH81]

Your compassion astounds me.

[JohnStephens91]

Not seen a thing about it anywhere. Hopefully it isn't true though.

[blackpoolhibs]

I hope its a direct result of the huns going bust.

[KWJ]

Daily Mail, most likely pish.

[EdinMike]

I was given a Winding Up Order too. Told my missus her cooking is **** and if she calls that cleaning !? Well...

Still I had a brief look and seen nothing, hope it's not true cause it'll be because of The Rangers right ?!?

[GoldenEagle]

For £16k, it will get paid as they won't allow their hotel and stadium to go under for that amount.

Have to laugh at rangers fans getting all "we told the SPL they needed us"...there is still only one major club that has disappeared and that's the old Rangers FC

[Mikey]

I'm sure this will be a hot topic of conversation for the Kilmarnock fans sitting in the boozer, or the golf club, watching today's scores come in

There's no need to link Killie with THEM - if indeed the OP's story is true.

I for one, hope it's not.

Whilst I wouldnt put it like that, i do agree with it really.

There's far too many teams in Scotland, its ridiculous. 42 "Top" level clubs. Then after that there's a rake of junior clubs that get bigger crowds and have better infrastructures than the senior teams.

Stop posting then

It's a common credit-control tool.

The debt has "only" been outstanding a few months, and the WU application will be designed to concentrate Killie's mind. Normally, that works. (cf HMFC)

That said, it often means that there are serious cash-flow problems. IMO, that's what the recent player sales have been about.

Bully.

[Ozyhibby]

Killie and Hearts have been living beyond their means for years now. There will be no sympathy from me.

Hope they get on with it then..

[SmashinGlass]

Scaremongering by the Daily Mail. If solicitors were only instructed yesterday at 4pm, then it is impossible to have achieved service of a winding up petition this morning for a number of reasons. In real terms, an application for winding up is at the very least 14 days away.

Typical Daily Mail bull****

Killie (and St. Johnstone) have been very dependent on incomes from non-football sources, the hotel in Killie's case. That must have come under pressure over the last 3-4 years, to the point where the hotel may be a cash drain on the football club at times. Then you also throw in the fact that Killie were the club most dependent on the OF visiting four times a season.

... and that ties in with my feeling about the tactics here. If Johnson reacts as he should to the report, then it's a result. The creditor gets paid, without the full expense of Coiurt action.
