Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

Not a great result but everyone from 20th down lost. Looking at the remaining fixtures: Cheltenham. 7 games in 3 weeks, last 3 against teams chasing the play offs and they are also away to Burton. Port Vale - still to play away to Peterborough and Bolton. Have Cambridge on the final day Burton- next...

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

The reaction of football fans to something small and inconsequential Footballer puts ball an inch outside the corner quadrant thing. Fans nearest absolutely lose their minds, going apesh*t crazy and insulting the player. Immediately reminded my of this clip. 5:00 onwards. https://youtu.be/C-q1h8TJS...

Clyde1998 Out of interest, where do people get these sort of flags made?


There's a few companies in Reading that do large scale vinyl printing.

Tell him we're Welsh and we sing the national anthem before every game. That will put him off.

Considering 2 weeks ago we weren't sure if we'd be playing anywhere next season, I don't really care.

Re: Record Watch 23/24

Much as I enjoyed their PL title win in 2016, it still bugs me that they used administration to default on their stadium and keep their premier league squad together in a lower league. It does feel a bit like chickens coming home to roost.

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

A lot of their statements have been classic heart over head type messaging, the type where you really need to pass it to someone who isn't emotionally invested to proof read it, so they can tell you what you should have written instead. It's been dreadfully idealistic and "ideas above our stati...

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

Still an owner after SJM Owner with SJM. My memory is a little more testing these days, but didn’t the club return to SJM’s full ownership when Zinga couldn’t complete the purchase ? I believe that is indeed the case. IIRC, TSI bought a 51% stake and had to complete a full purchase within a specifi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I suspect the Wycombe owner is like the sterotypical women shopper...... Spends £22m on something you don't need and announces they've saved £28m because it was in the sale, then never uses it and ends up giving it to the charity shop a year later. I'd liken it to blowing your inheritance on a Ferr...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Oh,I know it's all speculation but it's never made sense that it's Wycombe or a benefactor of them, the scale is all wrong. If it had been Fulham or even Brentford, you'd think it kind of makes sense. Also, if I was Couhig, I'd never have acknowledged that protests had any impact on the decision to ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer. Certainly under UEFA FFP rules money spent on infrastructure, youth development or training ...

What's in it for him, though. As a gateway into club ownership at Wycombe maybe but I don't really see how it makes any financial sense with the planning limitations in place.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Isn't the Georgian bloke who was supposedly funding the purchase the prospective new owner of Wycombe? His purchase of them has been dragging on.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are complications with him passing the director's test.

Maybe not one of our best managers but there's not many I respect more than him for the job he's done here.

It wouldn't suprise me if he goes on to become a very successful manager.
