Re: Generic clubs in financial crisis Thread

Opposite end of the scale to Everton is Brighton, who have released their accounts showing last financial year they made a profit of £123M and that doesn't even include the money for Caicedo or Sanchez Apparently that's a Premier League record. Even though it doesn't include money for Caicedo or Sa...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

Not if points deductions come into play….. I'm not aware of deductions being applied retrospectively after the last game of the season. I hope I'm not wrong! I seem to remember Wigan having points deducted after the season ended or was it just before the last game? It was only a few seasons ago but...

Re: The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

Warnock's available isn't he... And has gone public that he would have taken the caretaker role if they'd offered it. Argyle were probably put off by the shitshow of complacency and arrogance that was his brief spell in Aberdeen. They could have offered Derek Adams a chance to return. The highlight...

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

He seems to think he had a legal case because the suspended part of the 12 point penalty got applied later, even though it didn't get applied until March of the following season, because we hadn't breached our business plan until then. Arguably we'd chosen to breach it before we signed it and certa...

Re: European Leagues Thread 2012/2013

In the unlikely event that Celtic lose would Rodgers get the sack? why would it be unlikely? I don't really follow it at all so I may well be missing something, but Rangers are doing better than them in the league and they are at home Because their record against Celtic in the last couple of years ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

Not a great result but everyone from 20th down lost. Looking at the remaining fixtures: Cheltenham. 7 games in 3 weeks, last 3 against teams chasing the play offs and they are also away to Burton. Port Vale - still to play away to Peterborough and Bolton. Have Cambridge on the final day Burton- next...

Re: Football Rel8d Gripes

The reaction of football fans to something small and inconsequential Footballer puts ball an inch outside the corner quadrant thing. Fans nearest absolutely lose their minds, going apesh*t crazy and insulting the player. Immediately reminded my of this clip. 5:00 onwards. https://youtu.be/C-q1h8TJS...

Re: Record Watch 23/24

Much as I enjoyed their PL title win in 2016, it still bugs me that they used administration to default on their stadium and keep their premier league squad together in a lower league. It does feel a bit like chickens coming home to roost.

A lot of their statements have been classic heart over head type messaging, the type where you really need to pass it to someone who isn't emotionally invested to proof read it, so they can tell you what you should have written instead. It's been dreadfully idealistic and "ideas above our stati...

Still an owner after SJM Owner with SJM. My memory is a little more testing these days, but didn’t the club return to SJM’s full ownership when Zinga couldn’t complete the purchase ? I believe that is indeed the case. IIRC, TSI bought a 51% stake and had to complete a full purchase within a specifi...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

I suspect the Wycombe owner is like the sterotypical women shopper...... Spends £22m on something you don't need and announces they've saved £28m because it was in the sale, then never uses it and ends up giving it to the charity shop a year later. I'd liken it to blowing your inheritance on a Ferr...
