Re: VAR

Little Stewie Atwell excelling at the Rumbelows Cup final yesterday. First saying nothing to see here when Trippier knocked the ball out of Diaz's path with his hand, it would have been the softest penalty ever but once you have VAR how don't you see it? But then his meisterwerk came after Chiesa's...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

Our situation has never been the fault of the EFL They are applying the rules (that we voted for in ratification) Everyone knows who holds the blame Of course not, but it's desperately appreciated that they have shown leniency in recent months due to the cause of our problems.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

Fantastic news. Also nice to hear the EFL have been extremely lenient with us in the last few months because of the circumstances (Dai deliberately being a cnut). Some respect returned to the EFL.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

In principle selling the club to new owners sounds easy. Actually striking a deal that's acceptable to all parties involved is probably far more complex. The training complex is financially a huge white elephant for one. Nice to have. But totally out of kilter with a middle table L1 side. Though qu...

This feels like the closest we have gotten to a takeover. Couhig sounds like a pretty determined person so I reckon it will be done by this coming Friday.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT YET* CONFIMRED

buckingham royal Interesting that a former Director of Footbal Luke Dowling was on Talk Sport this morning and said he was close to taking up a new role in a club to be purchased within the next few weeks. He was not questioned which club this would be. May be nothing, ut watch this space.

Everton ?

Re: Injury watch 2024/25

Now I'm not sure, but aren't our current full back options: RB: Yiadom, Abrefa, Ryan LB: Dorsett, Ryan. So we only have one fit fullback and he's played how many senior minutes? And he’s going to play at both left and right fullback :shock: plus Dorsett is a primarily centre back :lol: Can this Joe...

I was trying to work out how many constituencies for the 92 clubs had a Tory MP now! Ironically, more clubs in Scotland have a Tory MP than in England and Wales. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/only-one-single-football-league-club-now-exists-in-a-conservative-constituency-following-the-2024-genera...

Looks like it, but I’m sure we will have news next week albeit the club accounts remain unpublished, Cannot be signed off until there's certainty that the club is a going concern.
