Re: Question about a fan takeover

I wonder how ED will be remembered by the fans - the person (fan) who backed us through the best spell in recent times OR the person (fan) who pulled the plug, and sat back as we went down to League 1. He's put a lot of money into the club and allowed us fans to see players that we could have only ...

Re: Royals, my arse! - Reading (A) 21/11/15

^ I don't see how our present squad can get out of trouble. A team either needs a goalscorer or several players who can contribute to the overall goals total. I think we have neither. We need a couple of players who can both score goals. We ain't got the money and if we did, I'd doubt Lennons abili...

Re: Trevor Birch

As Bish points out he was appointed as administrator of Portsmouth by the courts. He wasn't anything to do with any failures there. Think that point needs emphasising. Aye fair enough.. My concern was that once they came out of administration they had ended up in league two without a pot to piss in...

Best of luck to him. And whatever anyone says he is a Wanderers fan and one of us.

Re: And in other news we're still fecked

With the debt-smell lingering, if he is truly happy to sell for £30m I wonder whether it would be better PR etc to just write off the debt as per Fernandes, and stick the club back on eBay/Craigslist/lampposts with a new pricetag. (Unless of course there's some tax-type reason he doesn't want to do...

The act that NL is trying to bring 2 pacey wide men in, would suggest that he's aware of our failings. If he can't land one or both, it says much about his falling status IMO. ?

Re: Question about a fan takeover

The German model for running football clubs is so much better than here, but it's too difficult now to change to this model without major changes to the club and/or the leagues. Their ticket prices and treatment of fans are way superior, mind you there's not much jeopardy in the title race in recen...
