it will be interesting to see if Parky gets some approaches this summer if there are big moves in the manager market. if for instance, McKenna goes to Brighton, and Edwards goes to Ipswich, would a club like Luton look to parky? He's got to be hot property. 5 promotions under his belt now, from wha...

Keeping Cat 1 status in L1 is insane.

The fact we've extended exclusivity rather than opened back up with the many (lol) other interested parties is surely a positive sign that the deal has hit a set back, not fallen apart.

Has thr academy retained and released list been published then, or is this a rehash of previous information?

Edit: Seen it has from the Academy thread.

Not surprised to see Jahmari go. Wish him well. Bit surprised by Collins, but as someone else said. We have a lot of keepers. Hope he finds a club.

Olise sell on? No doubt it's bad news if it falls through, but I'd put decent money on that we'd get through next season somehow. I'll take that bet. No takeover = no finish 24/25 season. At least I lost my shit yesterday. I am just glad to be off to New Zealand tomorrow so I can forget about this ...

I'll take that bet. No takeover = no finish 24/25 season. I hate to have to agree but that’s the way it feels Sounds reasonably at face value until you think it through. If Dai genuinely thinks he can get a better price, he needs to keep the club afloat and protect the value of his asset. If he can...

How stupid does Dai have to be, to be frustrated that with each new discovery of damage he's done, the prospective buyers are reducing their offer. Interesting that we seem to be getting a deadline of a week or new talks with someone else. Suggests we should have concrete news within the next 10 da...

Good luck to them both.

We're well overstocked on keeper, but if we weren’t Southwood wouldn’t be a bad shout.

Sean Long would be worth a look though. Yiadom is getting on, Abrefa isn’t setting the world alight just yet and we're not exactly overstocked on experience at CB.

It doesn’t look like the takeover will be happening anytime soon. I really fear for the club tbh. Off to New Zealand for 8 weeks to visit family shortly so I can avoid all this drama. I was going to renew my season ticket but not until the ownership is resolved. Saw the post before seeing the poste...

Five over-age players and one over-age keeper: https://www.premierleague.com/news/2677866 However that was for the season 2022/23 when the format was changed from under 23 to under 21 and might have been a transitional phase. Confusing now because the Premier League are also saying for 2023/2024 th...

Thank you - didn't think it would be as early as January. So that gives another season of U21 football for CBC, Borgnis and Wareham and only three starters from yesterday becoming overage for next season (Carson, who we already know to be leaving; Stickland; Wellens). If we're allowed three overage...

Because of one tweet? Get a grip.

Stranded What is the rule on players over-21 playing - Liverpool have Jay Spearing playing semi regularly so clearly some leeway and Holmes played earlier in the year.

Rules I've read suggest no exceptions... but clearly sometjing is amiss.

And when we took the throw, we immediately surged up the pitch. Had we done that with a quick throw, we could've easily scored from it. He similarly went nuts when we took a quick inaccurate freekick punt upfield to one player who had two defenders on him and it came straight back. Yeah. It's clear...

Were they also losing their shit when one of our players decided to waste time instead of taking a quick throw in whilst the opposition keeper was in our half and their goal was empty? Yep. Noel Hunt was going nuts when we did not take the quick throw in. And when we took the throw, we immediately ...

I’m comfortable that we have the core of a good squad, but I’m also aware it would only take injuries to two or three key players (Wing, Smith, Knibbs) to leave us struggling. Given the business we did last season, despite the turmoil, hopefully we can pick up a handful of players that could streng...

Gutted for the lads. A very exciting game of end to end but not helped by some very dodgy refereeing. Did not think it was a foul at the end that led to the goal. No idea what Borgnis’s first yellow was for although second was justified. But the boys did us proud. Typical Reading - glorious in defe...
