Didn't get he get loaned to Blackburn after planing 20 or so matches last season? Suspect its on the 23rd league match and then reset each season. So any last 10 minute sub appearances start to look potentially expensive.

Yep looks that way. Seems like in the rush nobody told sports shield about it.

That's not how it works. There'll be a million and one questions during DD. It's up to SS to ask them.

Can they not get around some of these things? Does Burnden Leisure still exist or is it now Sport Shield? If the deal was done with a company that's now non-operational,I have no idea

New owners take on company with assets and liabilities, except those both parties agree not to transfer. Can't see Eddie keeping any liabilities myself, so that means it's all on SS. I'd have thought any sort of competent folk involved in due diligence would make sure player contracts were looked at for any sort of payment clauses and bonuses etc.

Aye well if ED hadn't taken it right to the last minute it might have been sorted.

I still think the club either were incompetent and didn't know or they deliberately hid it.

Notwithstanding that the actual bit of breaking news hasn't made the breaking News thread...

new owners and the manager's gone..

this thread is a HUGE success!

BTW - now the club's been sold - is Birch still around in a continuing role or is his work now done?

Back to talking bollocks I see. I'm guessing you've never done DD. The party doing the inbound DD asks the questions they want to ask. If they don't ask it's not up to ED or his team to provide the answers. That's how it works. If DD lasts a very short time, then there's only so many questions that can be asked and answered by both parties.

^ no - what Insano means is that ED should have done the deal much much quicker - thus giving SS LESS time to ask questions like this... oh... hang on... now I'm confused...

Aye that's the one - ED gawd dang him, I mean there he was changing the structure of the bid by removing a key backer and all, imposing all those questions that the FL needed answering yadda, yadda....

What I find odd about the Spearing situation is that it appears Lennon didn't know either. If you were limited in the games you could play him it'd be odd chucking him on as a sub (twice) after 85 minutes

The same thought crossed my mind too, I'm not overly convinced that Lennon was as in the dark about all this as he makes out he was. It's totally bizarre.

The official facebook has just released photos of training "Jiminhios first training session" or whatever. Looks like its at the macaroon? Have we vacated Euxton now?

[Prufrock]

We always trained at the bok on Wednesdays under Sam. Don't know if this is bringing that back or we've carried on doing it. Used to get the players in JD Sports (where I worked) afterwards which was fun.

aye - that'll cheer up Peter Reid! Glad to see he still values his association with us - I had thought we got a bit lost in the equation with his association with Everton and Sunderland...
