A problem with a creditor has hit cash flow at Kidderminster according to director David Seddon.
The club, which is in discussions about a takeover, failed to pay some of its staff on time recently.
"We're in the process of a takeover and it is having a knock-on
effect," said Seddon.
"There are lots of things that need to be addressed; the club living
beyond its means and paying too much for players for example. Everyone
bears the responsibility for that within the club."
According to the Kidderminster Shuttle part-time coaches only received half their pay on time last month.
"Most months we get paid late but this time they have gone too far," said one member of staff.
"We
were meant to be paid on the last day of the month and I only received
half of the money five days late and I'm still waiting for the other
half.
"I've got bills to pay and I've got to put food on the table. Enough is
enough. We've got 120 boys and girls at the academy and the club
receives funding for every one of them. We want to know where that money
has gone. The club is in a mess. This is the worst it's ever been."
Seddon told the paper about the cash flow problem at the club.
"Part of the issue is cash flow. I'm not excusing it but we had a
problem with a creditor and it put us in a position where we weren't
able to pay everyone.
"This coincided with an away game so we didn't have any cash coming in. I
had to make a decision on who should be paid and I made the assumption,
perhaps wrongly, that these part-time coaches had other incomes coming
in from other employment.
"That's been rectified after a couple of days
and I can only apologise that it wasn't on time."
