All we ask is that we keep in mind that our target here is Dai – not China or Chinese people , so please try to avoid any comments that could be interpreted as discriminatory or offensive to people form China/of Chinese heritage . If in doubt, try to post in a different way. Obligatory... https://p...
In regards to the business plan, if he knew we'd never meet it, I wonder what the thinking was? Try and get the "best" squad possible in the Championship and hope we can survive knowing we would effectively be starting the season at -6 points. I do wonder when Ince actually found out, Bow...
A quick look at X, formally known as twitter, shows a handful of fan groups promoting this 16th minute clap, and the responses from their own fans are almost universally laughter, stating they will obviously not do it, and then conversations starting up about things we have done in the past etc as ...
The other problem with a boycott is that a lack of money in will just hurt the staff for more missed payments, points deductions for us, maybe more redundancies, and might cause a successful winding up order.
He also said Dai "gambled on getting to the PL, which never works" It did work for Aston Villa and Bournemouth. Which is why crooks like Dai try it. That play-off final between Derby and Villa was basically a contest on who's gamble would pay off and who would face a financial crisis. Peo...
I do think it's important that attempted abandonments don't become the 'new tennis balls' default protest, tried at every game now. There's been huge media attention, and it's clear from the EFL statement that they intend to do everything they can to force him out. Further abandonments wouldn't achi...
We also bought out Cork's sell on clause for Doyle when they were desperate for the cash. I doubt it was an act of kindness on our part. https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/beleaguered-cork-cash-in-on-doyles-clause/26492914.html Indeed. They would've got £650k had they been able to hold on for ...
There was also that business with us not paying York one of the sales clauses from when we bought Murty, because their badly-worded deal meant it only legally applied for the duration of that particular contract for Murty, and didn't count when he signed a new one. At least we paid up in the end, I ...
This. The ODT (believe that is what it is called now - Owners and Directors Test) is pretty useless unless it's run against all club owners on an annual basis. And these tests should be the same in all leagues across the world so you do not get the stupidity of PL saying No and the FL saying Yes or...
In the circumstance, I hope they ask for the game to be replayed - EFL love to stay how they want league positions to be earnt on the pitch, so handing a result to Vale would go against this. So it'll probably happen. For the sake of the Port Vale fans, if it is rearranged and Reading fans are allo...
Next challenge: get the Wigan game abandoned? I don't see the benefit of getting an away match abandoned - there's no point in getting another club sanctioned. Shit, it's away? God no. Excellent way to start violence and lose all support Anyone trying would almost certainly be arrested. Their stewa...
As I've posted elsewhere, I think it would have been much more effective and impressive to go on for 10 minutes, then all get up and go back to the stands and let the game go on. I think the fact that the game was abandoned made it get much more publicity. A 10 minute delay would barely have got a ...
The overspending is as self inflicted as not paying the tax bill isn’t it? It’s Dai inflicted in both cases. think it’s clear their is plenty of sympathy elsewhere tbh. It’s not like as a fanbase we chose to spaff 7m on Aluko or not sell Moore etc I've seen plenty of "you weren't complaining a...

What I don't understand is why he doesn't accept an appropriate offer now, which will include him as the primary secured creditor and run with that. Liquidation will mean he loses everything. As the main creditor, he'd be first in line when the assets get sold off. Whether he'd get more liquidating...

It won't get liquidated, it will get put into administration. Which means it gets sold. The longer this continues, the more leagues we drop, players/assets we sell and reputational damage, the more chance there is that no one wants to buy us. That's the fear. We have to accept the pain now for the ...
