I'll go one better on the stink test stranded. Just days after exclusivity is extended, some rando twatter nomark says its all off. Why was exclusivity extended then? Was exclusivity officially extended? Before I left for my holiday there were two contrasting stories floating around. One was that D...

Incidental comment, but shows how shit Twitter has become that this guy has a blue tick. Doesn't that just mean he's paying £10 a month? But it could mean more people believe him.

It's all so frustrating. It feels like it took a monumental effort to get to the stage where we're a L1 club in exclusive negotiations, and it could all still go to shit anyway.

Nothing to suggest this tweet is accurate, but it should be done and dusted already.

Tbf, EPPP has helped produce players for the national team on a different level to what preceded it, which was the point following our humiliation to Germany in 2010. We're still winning junior trophies and it seems like the pipeline remains strong. Which yay for England, but doesn't adequately com...

The Football Governance Bill didn't get passed prior to the wind-up of the current Parliament, so we're a but further away from any formal Regulator (and / or being made an early doors Test Case, as Roger Titford reported in the new WSC). Probably a good thing. Labour will resurrect it, with a PM w...

The academy should probably be scrapped completely whilst we remain at this level. Thanks to the awful Elite Player Performance Plan we already lose promising youngsters to bigger category 1 clubs. There's no hope of keeping them at category 2 or lower sadly. Tbf, EPPP has helped produce players fo...

Guessing we'll get a club statement this week on the matter which doesn't tell us anything we don't know. See Anthony Smith has also stuck his neck out again after the Gymshark debacle. No credibility left. What's he said now, avoiding Twitter like the plague at the mo. Regurgitating rumours that a...

Olise sell on? No doubt it's bad news if it falls through, but I'd put decent money on that we'd get through next season somehow. I'll take that bet. No takeover = no finish 24/25 season. I hate to have to agree but that’s the way it feels Sounds reasonably at face value until you think it through....

How stupid does Dai have to be, to be frustrated that with each new discovery of damage he's done, the prospective buyers are reducing their offer. Interesting that we seem to be getting a deadline of a week or new talks with someone else. Suggests we should have concrete news within the next 10 da...

It still feels like Chiron have more leverage due to the debt and charges. They may have found something in DD that they have tried to amend the price for. Dellor is reliable enough, but his contacts will be Howe and others at the club. Feels to me like they are putting out rumours of other buyers a...

Even if true, I doubt it "falls through". If you look at Everton and 777, it has just dragged on and on as they scramble for funding to complete. Similar will happen here but probably on a shorter timescale as the money involved is child's play in comparison. Dai won't pull the plug due to...

Assuming Shaw doesn't make it, who the hell starts at LB?

Is Jamie Hodder reliable. He’s reporting that we have lost one of the investors and that exclusivity has been extended. He *can* be but also Pete O'Rourke who reported on FI last week can also be very accurate. I'd say pretty reliable. Given everything that's happened so far people will naturally a...

Realistically, we've got enough in the squad + academy to compete. Takeover happening quickly is potentially the difference between top 6 and mid table, which isn't critical in the bigger picture.

Surely you can coach the defensive side, when his left foot is that good? Up there with Harte's.

I remember Norwood being one of our better players, even if he has hit more heights subsequently. Wouldn't say we wasted him, and got a good fee when he left. But agree the system never really suited Kelly. The idea that physicalism was the issue is classic stone age English football thinking - he w...

If it drags, must surely impact recruitment for next season. With the ownership sorted, we're definitely an attractive option at this level, but any agent or player who agrees to sign while Dai is still owner is a moron.

genome Palace are on an absolute mad run

They could be a dark horse next season if they keep their team together. Eze, Olise, Mateta, Guehi, Wharton. These are quality players.
