The club would have paid the small sum had the fans not done it first. 2010 have said that they wouldn't have allowed them to go unpaid.
The academy was paid for by Simon Jordan. The only person who lost money on the academy was Simon Jordan, all people involved with the academy were paid before administration began. The youth system was the best thing tangoman did for the club.
I dont buy this. Why didnt 2010 get involved before the club went belly up so as to avoid anybody being out of pocket? One can only presume it was to allow certain historic items to hmm hmm 'cleared' before getting the prize.
If they wanted to pay St Johns, they would have done.
I love the way you now criticise Jordan - clearly putting his own cash up, bailing you out once and 'buying' a year in the premier league for you, wasnt good enough despite every other club in the south east of england pointing out to you how unsustainable it was at the time. Those fans were right but the palace 'hordes' buried their heads in the sand. Just as you are now.
