Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I would expect player's to still put in a big effort. They've got the rest of the season to try and get themselves a contract at a new club if the worst does happen to us. They don't want to get injured tho. How many 50/50s are they going to commit to, how many times will they sprint back on 85 min...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Exactly funny how this has happened to swiftly but cant sell the club :roll: It's sort of obvious though. A club comes with loads of outgoings, stadium rent, staff costs, players wages. A training ground facility doesnt come with those things. Much easier to sell because a lot less due diligence ne...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Wow! Exclusive talks agreed in what three days, when asset stripping, but cannot be agreed in six months when selling the club. I have never seen Wycombe Wanderers as a rival, but if this deal goes through I will be putting them on a par with Poxford and the Swinedon. Just hadn't thought the Chairb...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If one of the parties is in legal debt to the FL then I would presume they should have some recourse if a said party then makes money out of what is the sale of a club asset. And isn't Bearwood owned by the club still, not in some private holding company like the ground (which will no doubt be sold...

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

The other issue here of course is supply and demand. The club isn't going to be able to sell anyone if no-one wants them, and they won't just give them away either. Don't think there were any realistic offers for players in January other than the two that were sold. If there were offers for McIntyr...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

And wouldn't the FL have something to say about that given the amount of fines he's ignored if nothing else. You think the EFL can insert themselves between a transaction between two business people selling each other buildings? If one of the parties is in legal debt to the FL then I would presume ...

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

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? ...

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

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...

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

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 ...

Re: The phoenix club thread

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

Re: Embargos, HMRC Payment defaults, non payment of wages, the usual under Dai Wrongge

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...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

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.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

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...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Derby County (a)

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...
