Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Yes, but he claimed to be buying us. Contrast that to the Gymshark guy, who denied the rumour fairly swiftly. Edit, oh Storey. So people should just print and believe whatever anyone says? Not denying something doesn't mean it's happening. The media will report any old shit for clicks and Twitter i...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

I presume we won’t find anything out about what RC has decided until the FL have their next meeting on this mess - is that tomorrow (3rd)? Tomorrow will be a key day and I think we can expect either a statement from the EFL/the club or both before the end of the day confirming the situation and nex...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

3 goal defeat at Blackpool is pretty much par for us up there to be fair. So we slipped out of the top 6, meh. My honest feeling is if we finally get good news, the boost it may well give the squad is likely enough to see us sneak back in but if we don't make it - we have a platform for next season ...

Winston Biscuit Walsall's long comedy stumble towards the finish line continues


Away to Doncaster tonight, lose that and you would have to think they may well drop out of the top 3 before the season is through.

Re: Weekend Football

Palace's win at Fulham at the weekend was a continuation of their remarkable away form. They have lost just one of their last 13 away games, at Arsenal in the League Cup, and they haven't lost on their travels in the league since 21st October, at Forest. Indeed no opposition player has scored a hom...

Re: Ups & Downs 24/25

Leeds on a run of 1 win in 5 at exactly the wrong time though. Quite depressing though to see Sheffield Utd, who lost 28 of 38 PL games last season looking likely to bounce straight back despite a 2 point penalty - whilst Burnley, who were also incredibly poor last season in the PL proving to be too...

Re: Man down -SCIAG

I'm lost for words.

I know it won't bring much comfort at this time but you have my sincere condolences Crusader. SCIAG was a great poster and will be sorely missed.

Hopefully the team, with so many Academy graduates in it can bring home a win tonight.

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Any idea if the sale has to be confirmed or to have actually gone through and be completed by the last date (i.e. just before the AGM, assuming this is correct)? I've lost track. I think no one will believe it's real until Dai has signed a contract. Until then, no one can trust anything he says and...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

Someone - maybe Snowflake - said this right at the start. If Dai is disqualified then there's no reason why a club owned by Dai should be allowed to compete in the League. That's the end point. The EFL are likely praying we come 7th or lower. This. The moment the clock runs out and we are still own...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

There is recent precedent of a team finishing in the play-offs and not competing in them due to off field matters; Gateshead last year which was admittedly not in the EFL. If we're not rescued, letting us finish the season and then giving the play off spot to 7th feels like the least bad option log...

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

1mill per month divided by the 26 first team players who have made a first team appearance this season equals 38.k pm per player. Or £9.6k per week on average per player. That figure must be all in? Surely. Players, coaches, non playing staff. I don’t see how we can have an average of 10k per week ...

Re: CONFIMRED - The final countdown

In terms of if they let us finish the season or not - despite the obvious point of not knowing what clauses were put in as a result of the initial disqualification extension (remember he should have sold the club by 11th March, so we are already in an extension) - there is a the slight issue of our ...

Mr Blobby could buy the club at this point and it would be "fine" - we literally have 2 choices being sold to someone who can meet their obligations, or wave bye bye to the club as we know it.

Re: CONFIMRED - This might be it!!

I'm not sure this is quite as dire as is suggested. The point taken in court is that, on 4 April, Dai will be disqualified and need to cease being a Director/having control of the club. The requirement in the circumstances under the EFL regs is specifically: " within 28 days of receipt of writ...
