Re: Cemetery Road? Not on our shift...Rochdale away Int Cup, 7-45 Tues 13-Aug.
Shall we say that for our goal, the keeper was fooled by Mr Darcy's slower ball, the camera angle not picking up the vicious spin?

Re: Cemetery Road? Not on our shift...Rochdale away Int Cup, 7-45 Tues 13-Aug.
"Cries of "Bruce Out, Ashley Sucks", rang around St James Park as an audacious 84th minute lob from Dennis Politic was inexplicably dropped over the line by Karl Darlow, extending the Magpies winless start to the season, and sending Bolton through to a lucrative 3rd round tie at Old Trafford"

Re: Administration and recovery
Anything involving Ken reeks. I’m lost now though; if club and hotel are with admins. And Bassinis beef is with Ken. What the hells it holding the club sale up for? Obviously we can only guess, but one possibility is that Bassini's legal argument goes something like (in very layman terms): "I signe...

Re: Administration and recovery
^^ Some thoughts: - No reporting that FV or the administrators are represented. - If this is Bassini's lawyers and Ken's lawyers, then this is concerning to me as both seem to want the same thing, i.e. to throw spanners into the works of FV acquiring control of the club and hotel. - The key for BWFC...

Re: Cemetery Road? Not on our shift...Rochdale away Int Cup, 7-45 Tues 13-Aug.
I think we should play the subs from Saturday plus the seniors who fancy playing again. Give the heroes from Saturday a rest, both because they will be knackered and we are going to need them again at the weekend. I'm all for telling the seniors who refused to play to do one, but they could be usefu...

Re: The next manager
^^ Whilst typically only a small percentage of the young players might "make it", a lot of that is down to never getting their opportunity. These kids are unique in that, because of circumstances they have been given a chance, and also given a chance together. They will have learned way more from th...

Re: Administration and recovery
So it seems the next crucial moment, expected to happen very soon, is the announcement from Quantuma naming the preferred bidders for the hotel. Based on reporting so far it appears to be a crucial part of FV's submitted business plan that they win the bid for the hotel. If they don't the whole tak...

Re: The next manager
I think it is quite a distinct choice we have now. If Parky stays then we need a full squad (15-20) of experienced players with the youth relegated to back up players, with maybe one or two becoming regulars. Parky has not demonstrated any inclination to play a style other than a hard running, hard ...

Re: Who's the naked woman on the white horse? H v Coventry 10/Aug/19
I'm changing the way I think about us. Get rid of Parky and his team, install either David Lee or a manager known for bringing through kids, and sign a few experienced players. All assuming we actually survive of course. That way big chance we sell one or two for decent money, and smaller wage bill,...

Re: Who's the naked woman on the white horse? H v Coventry 10/Aug/19
Utterly gobsmacked by that team. Nothing I have read convincingly explains why senior players who played last week have refused to play this week.
Bassini not allowed into the ground!!
Anyway COYW.

Re: Administration and recovery
^^ We made an operating loss of £13m last time we were in L1, before player sales and asset sales. Even though that included some players on ridiculously high wages for L1, I struggle to see how we get it down to much below £10m when and if we have a full squad. For this reason I see FV as very much...
