Latics aim to resurrect suvival plan

Last updated : 23 July 2003 By The Dukinfield Dazzler
After the recent twist in the Latics nightmare saga, Sean Jarvis has now indicated that he hopes to fall back on the Latics original survival plan.

Jarvis' hopes rely on main shareholder Chris Moore keeping true to his word, something which the owner has found increasingly difficult in recent months.

After protests were made outside Moore's main interest Torex Plc on Tuesday, fans confronted Moore with banners questioning where his so-called "5 year plan" had gone - something which proves just how much the main shareholders word means.

However, after the nightmare twist on Friday evening, where Norwegian consortium head-man Vidar Fossdal had to terminate the purchase of the club due to lack of funds (presumably to cover Moore's £220,000 PFA loan), fans must now hope that for once Chris Moore does keep his word. That would mean Moore following up with his promise that if the Norwegians didn't buy the club he would hand it over to Jarvis for the survival plan to be actioned.

Jarvis recently admited that the Latics have "days, not weeks" to save the club. This is due to another pending pay-day of around July 27th, the Inland Revenue have issued winding up proceedings for nearly £200,000 and the PFA are now calling in the £220,000 loan which Moore was guarantor for which was used to cover May's wages.

It appears that a month on, we may yet face the same situation where Moore insists that the "loan" he promises to give Jarvis and co. has to go towards covering the PFA loan rather than paying the wages - something which caused the original survival plan to breakdown.

All in all, it shows that Moore has been full of lies and loans. Moore's best option should be to cut his losses, pay the PFA loan (which if the club goes under he would still have to pay) and wave goodbye.

Our destiny is in the hands of one man again. And unfortunately, he is not to be trusted. We live in hope and keep the faith!
