Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If there is bad news coming, I would expect it to be announced early next week - after the deadline for season ticket renewals. I certainly wouldn't let anything Howe says dissuade me from that view If Chiron had pulled out why would they care about waiting until after the deadline to announce it ?...

Re: Ex Players

One of two players that I was really disappointed to learn that he was leaving Reading. The other was when Simon Osborn went to QPR. As for Kelleher he can do better than Celtic-I wouldn't like it if he went there and if Olise went to Man Utd rather than a top club. I was disappointed Swift only we...

Re: Weekend Football

Only an opinion, but in order for it to be considered a new stadium I would suggest that the original would need to have been levelled and started again.
Otherwise, it strikes me as a development

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

Forgot to report, HNA's favourite Italian manager Davide Nicola, the man who helped Salernitana with the great escape last season, got Empoli to stay up on the last day with a 2-1 win over Roma, featuring a 93rd minute winner 5th time he has been brought in mid season to try and keep a club up that...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Chelsea granted permission by Leicester to speak to Maresca, whom they will apparently offer a 5 year deal - which they will pay up in full when they fire him next year. Leicester will apparently get 10m in compensation. Chelsea clearly very impressed by his side nearly choking the most nailed on p...

Re: #SellBeforeWeDai (to someone fit and proper)“ supporters action group

Probably a good thing. Labour will resurrect it, with a PM who is a genuine football fan. It's not a hard left incoming government, but where the interests of fans are in direct conflict with billionaire and hedge fund owners, they'll still be more inclined to side with fans than the Tories.

Re: Ex Players

Mr Angry Many congratulations to our ex goalkeeper, Alex McCarthy, for getting promotion to the Premier League with Southampton yesterday; I hope he gets his chance as their first choice keeper next season.

Much as I’d like to think that, I don’t think there’s much chance of it happening

Fixing stuff (like bookings) isn’t gambling and so I fail to see why he should be treated as having an addiction to gambling. He may have that as well, but this is simply getting paid to fix a bet. Not the same thing in my opinion, and because it’s premeditated should be treated as much worse than t...

Paqueta has intentionally gone out to spot-fix multiple times. He will get the book chucked at him.

It's a very trite answer, but I think it has merit. It's a 46 game season involving 23 other teams. Luck and circumstance plays a huge part. Especially in a highly competitive and relatively evenly balanced league like the Championship certainly used to be. Injuries, illness, loss of form, playing ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Mid Sussex Royal ITK Eddie reporting on Twitter the hold up is Chiron want the loans taken off the asking price, sounds reasonable to me.

Surely this would have been covered in the exclusivity agreement>?

And the loan agreement and the charge on the shares
