Might the fact that IIRC there is a minority shareholder of the club be an issue ? Doesn’t one of the Thai’s still have some holding ? Obviously Dai can’t sell their shares and if a new owner wants 100 % of the club then the small shareholder has a bit of a ransom situation. I can’t remember the ru...

It’s got me thinking that transfers should be financed as … 1. All base fees paid up front with no stage payments 2. All add ons placed in escrow 3. All fees and taxes to be paid in full within 14 days, otherwise the registration is cancelled, meaning the buying club still has to pay the player, bu...

Winston Biscuit Stade Reims expecting Will Still to leave at the end of the season

Been rumours for weeks that Sunderland are chasing him

Will Will Still still be at Reims next season?

Yes ! (not to him remaining there, necesarily)

This was given as a penalty.

Whilst I can’t imagine what the referee saw to think that was inside the box, wtf was the assistant doing ?
He clearly wasn’t looking

After Oldham’s great escape in the 92/93 premiership season I’d never take anything as a given until we’re mathematically safe. I am pretty sure Oldham were 9 points behind Palace with 3 games left and survived. I remember thinking we were safe in 2007/8 and that ended badly. Obviously, I am very c...

genome Phil Foden is unreal

Pep has downloaded some sort of cheat code

It’s ok though, because Wazzer thinks Foden’s got ten years to go to be as good as Salah
[checks notes] Salah was being loaned out from a pretty ordinary spell at Chelsea at the same age

In all the excitement of a midweek away win I totally forgot about Leicester

Woke up to double delight

LUX We need Peterborough to beat Port Vale on Wednesday.

I doubt Port Vale’s keeper will be quite so accommodating as to gift them two, sadly

Winston Biscuit Only been watching bits but Rangers look awful

And yet they’re level … not for long

Winston Biscuit Potential title decider kicking off shortly in Scotchland

I see Jaap Stam had to change his name to get the Rangers job

rabidbee Magic number down to 10 (12), with 12 to play for.

Are you sure it’s not 11 ?

[edit]
No, you’re right
Port Vale threw me

I gave all mine away when we moved … primarily because I never wore them and they needed a good home

City look better without Haaland as weird as that sounds. Against the better defensive sides that seems to be the case And normally, I would say that Villa are decent defensively Without Haaland they just seem to work the ball better in the attacking third Although, could all have been somewhat dif...

When I was a lot younger there were professional and Amateur leagues. The difference was in the latter, the players did not get paid and in the professional leagues they did. My dictionary states the difference between the two is :- Amateur "a person who engages in a pursuit, especially a spor...

Think Liverpool’s season will be defined by those three away games in six days. Fulham, Everton and West Ham. Games they should win but tough on paper No doubt Klopp will be whinging about having to play Wednesday night and Saturday early again! Apparently the Saturday early ko slot isn't well like...

Didn't Leicester succesfully argue that, because they were in the Premier League at the time of the breaches, the EFL had no jurisdiction, and then when the Premier League went after them (because of this defence), they tried to argue that, because they were now in the EFL, the Premier League had n...

This also means that if the deal falls through for any reason, and Dai does not repay the loan, they can place us into administration or seize Bearwood to get their money back. This is Dai ceding a lot of control on the process, and a sign that he is serious about selling in my view. The legal char...
