No you can't. You can't sell players to pay bills as they fall due as the stupid restraint of trade things now effectively limit clubs to only being able to buy/sell in January, June, July and August so if a club finds itself with a sudden shortfall/unforseen bill in March it can't do anything. Thi...

Jamie Hodder reporting on Twitter that exclusivity for a full sale was very close and now off the table, and the cut price deal has been agreed on basis money goes to Dai, not the club. He's usually been proved to be accurate but not sure how the money going to Dai works, is that legally possible? ...

Making up figures to suit your point, but sure. We could have sold more players to pay bills as and when they fell due, rather than rip the only piece of infrastructure owns out of the club was my point. People on here think we got half a million for a distinctly average CB who failed in the Champi...

£4m :lol: :lol: Missing the point but sure. Making up figures to suit your point, but sure.

jd82 £4m

Missing the point but sure.

This business puts the players sales into more perspective. If we had managed to sell Azeez and Smith in January for a combined £4m potentially we could have seen the season out. As it was, we kept the squad arguably stronger than we needed to survive, and we've lost the training ground and academy ...

Seems the biggest risk to 106 now stems from the club holding the record no longer existing.

What I don't understand about this £1m shortfall is the following: Why does it magically stop becoming a problem next month? We knew Dai's commitment to the club at the start of the season, why didn't we budget better? How in the world can we be £1m short this month? I was under the impression we h...

No way are they paying £20m. No way in hell.

For £10m you can buy your own golf course, convert some of the holes into some football pitches and convert the club house into a fitness centre.

Does £10m buy you Castle Royle in Knowl Hill, probably.

If Pereira gets there first then it’s not a foul. Simple as. He isn’t coming in dangerously, he’s approaching the ball in the same way Gayle is, neither have possession. There was no excessive force etc It’s ok to say the ref made a bad decision. He did. He was conned but he made a bad call. It hap...

The referee saw a coming together. So he gave it. What he couldnt see is the handball. So he can't give a handball if he didnt see it a handball. Pereira might feel hard done by, but a better lesson to draw from this is, dont rush out and give referees decisions to make. If he sees a coming togethe...

I was there, and all three refereeing calamities happened right in front of me. Pareira had both hands either side of the ball, inside the penalty area, although he had yet to firmly grip it - Gayle knocked the ball with his arm out of Pereira's hands. Periera then colllided with Gayle. If the refe...

JP had every chance of getting his hands on the ball and may well have done, if the two players then collide then how is that an offence. Is JP not allowed to run as quickly as Gayle. If Gayle handles the ball before any collision then that is the first offence and the point at which the ref should...

Whether or not he hand balled it before or after the collision, he could see the keeper coming and the keeper had no hope of getting the ball without clearing out the man. The keeper gave away a penalty through his inexperience / exuberance. Keeper gave ref a decision to make. A ref is behind the s...

If you dont want to concede penalties, you don't rush out of your box and bundle into a player, knowing that will mean the ref will have to make a decision based on what he has seen. Every single comment along the lines of "it was crystal clear" is because you are watching on a TV with th...

However, in both cases a Reading player probably made a poor decision to find themselves in a situation where a poor decision could be made by the ref. How is Yids not tripping Gayle a poor decision? For his 2nd yellow, he tried to turn his way out of trouble when surrounded by Derby players - ball...

Are you using a Nokia 5110? No. Have to agree with GWL that my first reaction is what the oxf*rd is Pereira doing racing out to the edge of his box to a striker running essentially away from goal, when he's never going to get to the ball.first cleanly. And I have sympathy with a ref not seeing a ha...

I think there pen was a pen. 2nd yellow while very soft, if he has tripped him, it is a 2nd yellow as he is in a very attacking position. Hard to tell from.that angle if he did trip him. Fine margins Have you seen the replay? It was a clear handball by Gayle. Whether or not he hand balled it before...
