The future of The Non-League Paper, and it's sister The League Paper, are in doubt after the company was placed in Administration for the second time.
A large hole has been found in the company accounts, and the Finance Director and Account Manager have both left the company. The hole may be the subject of a Police investigation.
Editor David Emery said: "We were in the process of doing a management buyout involving myself when we discovered these problems. We are trying to discover where the money has gone and how. This is a problem for lots of small companies who rely on financial experts to handle their accounts. Personally it is a horror that people who you trust in a small company can betray you so badly that it puts the business in jeopardy."
Emery expects The Non-League Paper to continue but placed doubt on The League Paper's continuance, adding that the fledgling paper would be at the mercy of new owners just six months after it's debut. Current major backer Chris Ingram, Chairman of Woking, has financed the company in the interim until a buyer can be found.
