The latest news suggests that Ilkeston FC will appeal against the winding up order imposed this morning! Negotiations between lawyers working for IFC and possibly the company looking to take over the club and the courts have been taking place trying to salvage a deal from the ensuing mess!
Meanwhile Duncan Payne has formed a new club called Ilkeston United Community Football Club who are ready to take over the NMG if the opportunity arise.
Aston United are also waiting in the wings with a view of other joining the supporters led club or taking over the lease themselves should the IFC disappear!

The losers in all of this are likely to be the many companies and individuals who are owed substantial sums by IFC! In the final reckoning it will be found that a number of individuals created the situation the club has found itself in and one individual in particular has not dealt with that situation very effectively! Although it does he might have a slim chance of salvaging something from the whole episode!
