Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Yup. Royalmail was great for its time. Graham published one of my posts as a match report and people were truly impressed - "you're on the internet!" ;-) We had a crackdown at the place I was working back then on external emails after some of the sales force were found receiving pornograp...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

The choice of name for the holding company is odd and will fuel the Bisciotti rumours. The entity is wholly owned by Chiron and Rifkind has signed the loan agreement, but why call it the same name as another leading sports investment fund? Could it be possible that Chiron have sought a partner with...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Cambridge United (h)

Wycombe have just gone 1-0 up. Clearly their new training ground is helping them already.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Interesting piece here about the guy who heads up sports.com. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sports-com-announce-majed-al-060000045.html Wider reading about the company it comes across as being acquisitive initially. But there are grounds for optimism there if they end up owning our club. The guy ha...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Chinese money, Saudi Money, US money (US corps are normally far right in political outlook/funding) It's all the same. Owning a club needs hundreds of millions/billions and as we all know, football has entirely lost it's soul to money and the really quite unpleasant people who pursue and amass it. ...

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

It's utterly irrational, illogical and incomprehensible to us, but not to him. He has invested a load of money and time into something, and now he wants a return on that investment. He clearly has a price below which he won't sell and literally nothing that can be done will change that fact. Whilst...

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

I know that STAR are trying to get more information about how much the shortfall is and will then to coordinate some fund raising but what can be done/who can be approached if a whip round by the fans doesn't raise sufficient money? Does anyone know of any local businesses that can be approached ( ...

Millsy Reminds me of Sammy Igoe.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

On the plus side we can now roll our eyes and say we wouldn’t be in the relegation zone without the four points deducted. As someone who keeps being asked ‘What’s going on at Reading’ by not wholly sympathetic acquaintances, that’s a tangible bonus.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

People seem to forget that Madejski left Howe in charge for the Burns debacle and that he was around for the similarly awful tenure of Zingarevich. And previously worked with that spawn of Satan Samuelson with that. He's far from spotless. Burns was an odd one, as he always came across really well....

Re: MATCHWATCH : Eastleigh (a)

First full game i've seen for a while. Few observations. That result was predictable given the slightly experimental nature of our team and the fact that Eastleigh were more experienced and battle hardened. Of the players, like Azeez. I know he has had lots of criticism early in the season but he pu...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Carlisle United (h)

skipper Form of 1 loss in 5 now across all competitions. Lets hope we can turn the league form around now and kick on. We know we have the squad and the facilities. If they can begin to believe in themselves, I'm sure that we all agree that would be pretty handy.

You don’t win anything with facilities.

If this guy is involved it just looks like son of Dai tbh. https://www.largsandmillportnews.com/sport/national/23411577.can-now-confirm-wages-paid---wigan-chairman-talal-al-hammad/ Calm the fu c k down, there`s no way the EFL are approving it if this guy is involved. You think? I wouldn’t be so sure.

Re: TAKEOVER *NOT* CONFIMRED

Wycombe Royal I can't believe the EFL will pass any director related to our takeover who isn't speaky clean. They can't run the risk of getting it wrong again.

Their reutation is on the line here.


Ffs this looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
