club had run out of dosh, couldn't afford to pay the wages, told the players and press that it would be liquidated if wages weren't deferred. fans then started picketing the training ground demanding the players surrender their claims to the owed money.
tsw joins a new (he claims 'big') club in the same league (which is why i think it's kitson, who moved the sheff utd) and during the match receives the worst abuse he's ever experienced from his former club. the chairman of his old club at one point stood and joined in with the offensive chanting. this was witnessed by tsw's new chairman who relayed the info back to him. tsw was so incensed with this that he got his lawyer to instruct old club that he will not defer his owed wages and news of the chairman's behaviour will be on the back pages of the papers in the morn. eventually old chairman agrees to pay tsw in full, provided he keeps the story out of the press. tsw claims that the club behaved dishonestly when they begged for donations and claimed to be totally broke- 'clearly... was bull****'.
