Seriously? I'd rather see the takeover go through than England win the Euros; it's existential. But I'd rather see England win the Euros over promotion from L1, or even to the Premier League. I've seen promotion, it was good and I'd enjoy it again, but been there done that. I've never seen England ...

Pretty happy with the shorts and socks I bought on sale to play in.

James Henry (now 34) released by the Ox. Wonder if he might end up back here? In our first Premier League season I was fortunate (not so fortunate for him :wink: ) to be sat next to Steve Coppell at the League Managers Association annual dinner at Stamford Bridge. He was very open when we talked ab...

Obviously corrupt, tax cheat, Harry Redknapp is a good bloke?

Sutekh Why do betting companies even give odds on this sort of thing, yet more greed - this time by preying on those with problems.

Yep.

Have just watched the interview with Lewis Wing's partner. It goes on a bit but not a bad interview at all. Thanks mate, appreciate that. Most videos I do are about an hour long but it's fair constructive criticism that they need to be shorter Length really should be dependent on the content and/or...

I still couldn't give a shit about England, but thanks for letting me know that big clubs take players from smaller clubs I didn't know that. Providing a valuable service as ever Ian. Ah yes, when I noticed it was you I was quoting I knew I'd get some sort of pathetic response. Here’s a tip, don’t ...

From Despair To Where?

Franchise FC

SouthDownsRoyal Any update on the takeover?

Yep

Apparently, exclusivity has been extended
Posh are down to 10
GOAL !

I think that just about covers it

Idiots!

Groundhog day

From Despair To Where? Not meaning to be cruel but it's 100 minutes long and, if some people have a face for radio, you have a voice for silent movies.

Nice.

I've have gone with face for radio, voice for print media, but I like.

couldn't give a shit about England I'm more concerned with Reading FC. It's this system which has greatly benefited Reading, picking up and developinh the likes of Sigurdsson and Olise, and getting substantial money for the likes of those young Academy players who recently moved on before they got ...

Paqueta has intentionally gone out to spot-fix multiple times. He will get the book chucked at him. As someone said earlier, it's only a few bookings Unfortunately, it's not a stretch to think that he might extend that to changing a match result by one of those bookings becoming significant to the ...

For as much as I would like to see McKenna stay at Ipswich, I would also like to see Man Utd still their pursuit of 'names' and go for a young exciting manager that has links to the club, like McKenna How the fcuk do you respect the former under-18s coach? I assume by being a professional? Maybe th...

Tbf, EPPP has helped produce players for the national team on a different level to what preceded it, which was the point following our humiliation to Germany in 2010. We're still winning junior trophies and it seems like the pipeline remains strong. Which yay for England, but doesn't adequately com...

Any ideas as to why certain teams out/underperform following promotion? Had a brief look (i.e. not much beyond identifying teams) Any ideas as to why certain teams out/underperform? With Reading FC's 2004/5/6 squad, I just think they were that good. A mid prem team playing in the Champs. Then you h...

ITK Eddie reporting on Twitter the hold up is Chiron want the loans taken off the asking price, sounds reasonable to me. Surely this would have been covered in the exclusivity agreement>? Seems eminently reasonable to me, otherwise its wouldn't have been a loan, it would have been a gift. Thing abo...

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.
