Have they ceased to exist?
Twitter seems to think so, but no official news… |  |

No. They have stopped football operations but still trading as a PLC I believe until the 20th Aug when the National League meet and will withdraw their registration if they aren't sold by then.
Jason Whittingham has blood on his hands, sounds like he wants them to go to the wall to clear debts (but I don't know this for sure). How the EFL have let it get to this is so sad, if there is a reasonable offer on the table he should be forced to sell. But I guess there are no regulatory bodies in place to assess a fair price to force the sale. You know what you are signing up to when taking on a football club, the value can go down as well as up!

Exactly why a football regulator is needed. Should never have come to this.
The fit and proper person test isn't fit for purpose, it provides a snapshot at that moment, but it should be an ongoing assessment as new information comes to light. |  |

He shouldn't be allowed to be a director of any company ever again, his record is appalling |  |

The guy’s only ruined one sports club. How could anyone have possibly predicted he’d ruin another!
Crazy isn’t it. We definitely need better checks and balances and a regulator with teeth. I wonder if the cat’s out of the bag now though. Some clubs in the top couple of tiers are starting to get so rich they can bog down any regulatory decisions for yonks with legal action. |  |
