Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

You just have to hope his rational self interest wins the day in the end. He gets nothing from the club if he doesn't sell. He's tried asset stripping and selling the training ground and it has failed. As difficult as he seems intent to make it, it really is in his best interests to sell. Agree wit...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Events off the pitch will be be what they'll be. Just need as to get as many points on the table as possible from the remaining games. Remaining a League One club for next season is all that matters. That's a huge unwanted pressure on the players and the footballing staff . LOL Our league position ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The EFL 2 years' funding requirement which I only learnt through Howe's interview makes me feel better that we'll have a couple of years stability at least. Plus the soft transfer embargo stops them spunking it all up the wall on vanity signings. I'm afraid there's no way I believe that EVERY FL cl...

Re: Ex Players

Interesting read on Greg Halford and his autism diagnosis. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68617366 His Premier League break came at Reading, becoming their record signing in January 2007. However, a first transfer was always going to be tricky. "It was the first move to Reading where I'd...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

If you speak to Wigan fans, Al Hammad started well there. Spoke about investing in youth, won promotion, appointed Maloney. Then the guy providing the money turned the tap off. Obviously he shares the blame, he agreed to front their operation and made himself chairman. But it doesn't guarantee he'l...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

So losing half of your income wouldn't leave you feeling a bit stressed GWL? Keeping in mind that the 28 year old footballer probably has 4 or 5 years left of earning well before their career ends. I doubt many lower league players waltz into lucrative salaries after they retire just as the rest of...

Re: VAR

Just read the transcript of the conversion related to the Doku/Mac Allister penalty incident. Now I’m completely sure that the VAR team are incompetent. To say that they “both went in high” is so far away from the reality that we can all see, that the officials should never officiate in any capacity...

Millsy This potential new owner, I'm confused- is it for the whole thing or everythign except the training ground? If the latter that's still a worry surely.

Genuine question …. why ?

From Despair To Where? And it's only cost him circa £200m. Done very well for himself.


if hes converted £200m of dodgy money previously stuck in china to £30m of his own money freely usable outside of china it sounds like a good outcome for him

He might need to spend it quickly

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

... I believe HMRC is due this week, but that will be lower than the wage bill ... Does RFC pay VAT quarterly or monthly? If quarterly the HMRC bill this month could be substantially bigger than previous months. If the club are a large payer (by HMRC definition*) so would have to pay monthly on acc...

I'm surprised at how little mention the perennial cheat has had for the fact that he should have been sent off. Fernandez, once again, gets away with a dreadful challenge. Not a straight red, but clearly a yellow and a second one. If he'd been the one on the end of the tackle, he'd still be lying o...
