If they can`t sign players then there is no chance they would let shaw go even if a high offer came in?

They can sign amateurs and players born after 1.01.2006.

That SPFL statement says that Hamilton had failed to pay their tax obligations and inform the SPFL about it on three occasions since the last hearing. I wonder if they are up to date yet? They`re only heading one way if they fail to pay HMRC on time.


That reminded me of a post on Twitter from the Viz in their “letters” page

“HMRC are very pleased with me. They’ve told me my accounts are outstanding. Strange that I can’t remember sending them in…..”


Outstanding! 😂😂

Should never have been allowed to start the season.

Time for proper licencing I think, that way farces like Hamilton and the ongoing car crash that is FC Edinburgh/City don`t collapse mid season.

The financial situation at Hamilton is something else, and Edinburgh City registered office of the club is a virtual one........can`t think what can possibly go wrong there.....

There is an understandable reluctance to send football clubs to the wall. They usually mean a lot to many people in the local community. Let`s not forget that the Pars creditors accepted an offer of 0p in the £ in 2013 or we`d have been toast.

I have a parking space on Appin Crescent, outside the house, just a bit to the right due to zigzags immediately in front.
Ive lost 2 van mirrors and one mirror on a brand new mobility car. There is plenty space to pass. Just careless drivers.

A couple of days ago I got a knock on the door. I was showering my disabled son at the time.
A car had broken down adjacent to me and the traffic was backed up as far as I could see.
I left my son and went to move it.
There are disabled stickers on the back window.
I got dogs abuse from a driver behind me.
For a moment I thought, fk you, you can wait and head back indoors. He could explain to the others.

Thought better of it and shifted it.

I have to park there to load and unload the wheelchair, or I would use Leys Park CP.

I thought we were supposed to be getting a ringroad on the north of the town. What happened to that?

Aye, Hamilton! What are they like eh?

I agree, and it`s correct that there is a reluctance.

This applied when Cowden were in the league (pitch size and inadequate floodlights) and Bonnyrigg (pitch) but these were given a few attempts to get it right -Bonnyrigg ignored it and suffered the consequences.

Hamilton have since the last hearing failed to pay HMRC 3 times and on none of these occasions informed the SPFL-This is not on in any way acceptable.

So, financially what is really going on here? Why would a (previous )Premier striker sign for them when they were a 3rd tier side, and why would he stick around?

And the others, the new coaches, and `trialists` at what point did they think `that`s the club for me!` playing in front of 200 fans every fortnight, I`m guaranteed a full time wage!

That`s ridiculous what`s happened. The road I think you mean will take years. It also won`t help Appin Crescent much as it`ll run from the back of Halbeath Retail park, come out where Whitefield Road meets Kingseat Road and then run along the old railway path round the edge of Townhil loch, through the hanging strip and to Wellwood.

The original bypass for Appin Crescent can`t be built anymore as there are flats and the likes of Aldi in the way.

I`m used to threads on here going off at a tangent but I`m struggling to see what Hamilton have to do with the Dunfermline bypass.

I didnt know the planned route after Townhill loch.
I figured a north road would take traffic from the motorway to the W fife villages. That would help Appin Crescent.

It would also provide a faster, alternative route for commuters from Kingseat to Hamilton

"An American-based consortium are in advanced talks over a takeover of League One Hamilton Academical. "

and surprise surprise....

"The move comes as the SPFL prepare to open new disciplinary proceedings against the club over alleged irregularities surrounding the registration of amateur players"

"And while SPFL rules state that amateur players should only be paid reasonable expenses the league have now informed Hamilton chiefs of plans to open fresh disciplinary proceedings over settlement payments made to players they subsequently tried to register as amateurs"

What I find difficult to understand is why there has been no reported interest in Oli Shaw from any source since Hamilton`s difficulties became apparent. Any ideas?

Someone on here said that Shaw failed a medical with us but I called bull$hit on it since he’s played every game for Hamilton.

It certainly is surprise no-one appears to be trying to get him. Not publicly anyway, as we know you never know what goes on behind the scenes.

Could be a number of reasons. He has 2 years left on his contract so a fee would be involved. He just got married so maybe wants to settle down for a bit? I think he has 7/8 clubs already?
Before he scored for Hamilton last season he had gone 2 and a half years without a league goal(April 2022-August 2024) so maybe clubs just don`t fancy him. I don`t know if he had injuries during this period or not but he played 38 league games for 3 clubs without scoring.

Yeah, he may have failed a medical...
