However . . . The continued existence of clubs has to take priority over all other factors. The rules, 'fairness', the integrity of the league .. . none of it is more important than a football club being able to continue operating and the EFL needs to recognise that. I guess if "do nothing&quo...

What does our summer look like if we know from the outset that Dai can't/ won't pay our bills? No Knibbs/Wing/Smith/Savage, perhaps Holmes and McIntyre sold. Maybe we'd still get Dean and Button. Put it this way, I think we're in a better position with the players and the points deduction than the ...

Is there a cut-off point for points deductions? The season ends on the 27th of April. Could there be a situation where we stay up by a point, then get deducted points because we missed a payment at the end of April, or May even? I think (but not 100% certain) it's the same as the old transfer deadl...

For all the criticism of Button, not entirely justifed for me, we could still have won the game with a small degree of composure. Instead it was just a smorgasbord of individual errors, from miscontrolling the ball, to poor passes, to poor decisions, to not learning how to pick out a player in the b...

Bolton, always Bolton, similar modern day trajectories, and they fukkin’ owe us….always will I do dislike everything about Bolton because of that day, but in no way would I call them 'rivals'. They are just a club I don't like. I think knocking seven past them was quite cathartic. They did also put...

"Go Now" by The Moody Blues

Sounds like the owner there bought in with his sights on moving to a new ground and developing Plainmoor. If they can get a new owner who is interested in the club, rather than a property development, this could work out OK for them in the long run. A club in administration should be cheaper to buy,...

stealthpapes a win takes us to touching distance of 40 pints and we won't need too many more than that to stay up*.

Anyone who can stay up after 40 pints is doing exceptionally well

WestYorksRoyal Though in the interest of balance, we have some pretty detestable fans on the Twittersphere too.

Let's face it - the twitter spats are our bellend fans who think they are being funny v their bellend fans who think they are being funny. The odds of anyone coming out it with any credit aren't good.

Really have had a load of dodgy keepers coming to the club since, probably, Mannone was here (and he wasn't the greatest). But since the idiot ownership has caused the club not to be able to trade properly what can you expect, either what we have or a load of youngsters still finding their way. Wer...

I think we dished it out at the time. Which is surprising for Derby in particular, given we were poorly run at the time and clearly at risk of going in the same direction. When it was Pompey, it was just one of those things that happened to other clubs which we didn't feel at risk from. I feel with...

STAR reporting following latest meeting with Howe that due diligence being undertaken on various offers eg proof of funding etc. All taking its time obviously. That’s sounds more positive. Does that mean that these offers have met Dai’s valuation of the club? :lol: It sounds like a way of making no...

Snowflake Royal It would seem pretty on brand for us to end up surviving relegation fairly comfortably only to be liquidated in July / August.

If there's no takeover on the horizon, it'd be a brave individual who'd buy a season ticket when renewal time comes around

I've been there once, for a random game, as a mate was driving up to watch Carlisle City play*. It's an odd ground, but the strangest thing to me was that the home end wasn't very popular. Fans seemed to prefer the uncovered side terrace. I liked it, but I can't imagine the view is great from the en...

So I’m hearing in the grapevine charlton fans are planning on going in the home section dotted around all the stands pretending to be Reading fans. Then they will invade the pitch on 16 minutes pretending to be Reading fans protesting about dai so we get our suspended points deduction which could h...

Odd! Their previous manager, Westley, was a right gamemanship merchant too, a bit of a winder- upper to say the least. Like you say, probably at their peak this season anyway. Didn't he stitch up Farnborough too? When he was Farnborough manager he sold Stevenage some players for strangely cheap pri...

At the crux is how money is filtered down the entire football pyramid. Fairer distribution. Given lower league clubs make far less from player sales these days. I'd like to see a smoother, more even, distribution of money, but that's not why clubs are struggling. They are struggling because they wi...
