Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

My tuppence worth! I think that the Americans (as in Wrexham) are attempting to draw locals back to the game, Wrexham has good transport links to both Liverpool and Manchester. How often can they get tickets to see the big clubs and the cost associated with this, invest in a small club with big amb...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If we do join the growing list of clubs with US investment, I do wonder where this is going in the long term. US sporting franchises make money, US businessmen like to make money. But very few people make money out of English football. Could we witness a moment where the penny drops and US investor...

Re: Ex Players

Mr Angry At the game last night, I heard that Jamie Cureton has Motor Neurone disease; terrible news if true.

Re: Weekend Football

FWIW I thought both penalties Chelsea were awarded last night shouldn't have been penalties. soft as f*ck. I feel like football shifted in the last 2-3 seasons from people being upset when soft pens are awarded, to just now being all out throwing yourself to the ground when the wind blows and fans ...

Re: England - the future....

Most football managers IMHO have a fear of losing, especially those without the strongest of squads and playing defensively first and foremost can take you a long way. Southgate has had some of the poorest defenders at his disposal but arguably a large number of choices in attacking positions, espe...

Re: The Non - League thread

Four of Clubs!! Visit to Brackley and you didn't call in! I'd have bought you a pint! Glad you liked it. By far the best performance of the year. And a good crowd to see it. Tamworth looked very average in comparison. Yes play offs look likely, again. It will be the 7th year in a row... There are t...

Re: England - the future....

No my point is with a little more attacking intent Italy were there for the taking. Watching it live at the ground, it was incredibly frustrating. Football isn't played in isolation like that. A bit more attacking intent might have seen us lose to the odd goal in another three, with the skilful Ita...

Re: England - the future....

Overall he has been brilliant in improving performance (so his overall stats are good) but for me the question is how he does under real pressure and when it really matters. I get that he thinks our weakest area is defence so he plays more defensively and has two defensive midfielders. Amd this has...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I completely agree with Stranded. We are a club that is still technically on the brink of liquidation so for me any new owners that can prove they have enough funds to keep us going for at least another 18 to 24 months get a big thumbs up from me. Yeah don't get me wrong - at this stage, anything i...

I've taken a few days to process the situation and I still feel a little uneasy about the group who have supposedly been given exclusivity. I haven't read the past ten or so pages, so some of this may have come up already. If it is Chiron Sports Group, their website notes they're funded by Apeiron ...
