Shots Deal Deadline Extended As Wages Go Unpaid


Aldershot majority owner Kris Machala has extended the deadline for chairman Shahid Azeem to take over his shareholding to this lunchtime.

Azeem failed to meet a deadline yesterday, prompting Machala to agree to a deadline of noon today to see evidence that the former Woking chairman could fund the club. Fans are still waiting news on the outcome of the deadline.

However, mid-afternoon, former Bulls midfielder Craig Stanley tweeted that his wages had not been paid:

Stanley, 30, made just five appearances for the Shots due to an injury picked up in pre-season, only making a senior debut for his new club three weeks ago. Members of the club's youth team have also reported not having received their wages.

Meanwhile, Ebbsfleet are reported to still owe HMRC £25,000 after paying off £12,000 of their debt. The local press report that the club are yet to completely clear outstanding sums for March with April's debt as yet untouched.
