Feel for Ebbsfleet fans in general if this is really true. Well, except for their number one 🛎 end of a fan that is John Pearce, who hates Stones with a passion and was gloating when our big “R” was confirmed. Wouldn’t he be amused to see not one but TWO big “R”s against his beloved Ebbsfleet. 🤪 It's a hoax. No source. No evidence. Only shown on a minor news outlet. Probably from a WAG of an embittered out of contract player who will be looking for another club in June. We are still going for the playoffs and the football league.

You’re probably right mate and in all seriousness I hope you are, for the sake of all your decent fans. * * John Pearce excluded of course ! 😉

Its looking unlikely u will reach play offs think you need to pull your head out of the sand what with the constant late payment of players over the last year all players out of contract will be sniffing around for deals elsewhere you are likely quite a exodus this summer

Think we will probably lose most of the squad, but they won't find the money they got at Fleet anywhere else. Got faith Garry Hill will build a more realistic squad. As for that NonLeagueToday rubbish, handyandy is right, complete misinterpretation of facts that are already in the public domain with a completely unsubstantiated intro that seems to have been dreamt up by the bloke that wrote it. Rubbished by everyone with half a clue of what is going I spoke to today.

It does sound made up (someone trying to settle a score?), but Fleet certainly do have financial problems of some sort - the facts are well known.
With all due respect to their achievements on the pitch this season, how can a club in that much of a mess (organisationally/financially) survive another season in the NL, let alone one in the EFL?
Whatever the good doctor says (and may indeed mean), the facts tell a different story, and I see no real signs of things changing in the near future. The team is good enough to be in the play-offs, and even win promotion, but what's holding them back is the behaviour of the club's owner. Does he want then to succeed or not? If he does, he's got a funny way of showing it.
It pains me to say it, but I feel for the fans - I'd actually rather be in our situation. At least we know exactly why we are where we are, and can look forward to fighting our way back - without having to worry about financial goings on. The Fleet fans don't know whether to celebrate an excellent season on the pitch, or fear an iniment meltdown financially.

Do we really?
Obviously one can point to the unfortunate Wheeler experiment as being the key factor of our season.
Personally I would take it one step further back and say that the Saunders sacking, at the stage in the season it was made, was a key 'red flag' (I said at the time that before the event I felt comfortable we would stay up, after the event I was worried).
But that aside, I'm nonplussed by the failure to find any sustained rise to mediocrity under the guardianship of either Tris n Si or JS & HH. For all our problems I really did not envisage us finishing bottom.
Even if the scurrilous stories about Fleet are true, it'll still be a tight race as to which Kent club has been the most embarrassing to be associated with in 2019.

I heard Harry Wheeler met with the Ebbsfleet board over Easter and blew them away with his grand plan to make them EFL.
Starts with kicking out the Ashmores and Kedwelks then bringing all his Ricay mates over on six figure salaries.
Now THAT would be Ebbsfleet woes!

What now they've failed to get promoted (again) - or even make the playoffs (the poor dears were a bit tired, apparently)?
Another go, more money poured down the Northfleet toilet? Or "accept reality" and aim lower, try to live within our means, yadda, yadda...
Bitter? Moi?

How many oversights can one business be allowed. They've already faced a winding up order for failing to pay tax on time, now failing to file accounts. With all the other financial irregularities it makes you wonder exactly how competent any of the owners or officials are to run a business.
