Well Huddersfield have had a takeover 3 months ago actually and they didn't have to look far. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/huddersfield-town-to-be-sold-as-dean-hoyle-announces-departure-as-chairman-1-9749285

Well I've been told there's no truth in the argument either.

So why are they boycotting anyway? Anderson's gone and Bassini is the one getting in the way of the Football Ventures takeover. Obviously attendances aren't likely to rise after relegation but who's left at the club to aim their ire at? Manager Phil Parkinson (who seems to have focusing on team for most part and certainly they have needed focus there) has publicly urged Bassini to desist and leave the club alone. I've seen nothing about Bassini having the nerve to show up at the game even though he said he would (another lie) but perhaps the police banned him.

Less than a week ago Bassini ruled out taking any injunction. That should have set the alarm bells ringing. You expect any word from a friend of Jerome Anderson to be honest?

Surprised that so few people anticipated this.

The question is how much has TNT changed? It's a big step for them to bring back professional wrestling considering the same network took it off the air (when they had a willing buyer to run and administrate day to day) so who really knows what their standards/practices are now. A lot of people at Turner looked down on Pro Wrestling but perhaps they have adapted from that kind of snobbery. The guy who cancelled Nitro/Thunder left years ago. Also have to remember it's still TV 14. So either that's paranoia over the slightest violence OR they are willing to "push the envelope" somewhat. Vince thinks TNT won't put up with certain things (and maybe they won't with blood) but they might allow more than WCW did (pre 2000 anyway). At one time WCW was so politically correct that they labelled foreign objects as international objects. I'm sure it's going to be a bit more sensible than that and apparently even Turner laughed when he heard about it. I'm not obsessed with violence for sake of violence otherwise I would watch UFC more. Stories are the key but there needs to be an element of danger when you book cage matches, etc on PPV. Otherwise it's just watered down especially when you book HIAC PPV's with no real grudge behind the match. On the HIV/Aids stuff I wasn't around in the 80's (not an an age of understanding anyway) but I know educating the public took time because I've read about it. The "don't die of ignorance" campaign. It would be somewhat quicker now with social media, etc.

OK anything to screw over FUP gets my support though some people feel he's washed up as a player too.

Well they said there wouldn't be blood on regular TNT shows. "Raw Is War" didn't have buckets of blood every single week but it does add to major grudge matches on PPV. WCW banned blading at the time of Turner's takeover though 2000 had more swearing/blood. There's always going to be accidental blood but I don't see what's wrong with using fake blood for certain matches. That scraps blading AND any HIV/hepatitis paranoia at least from a blading standpoint. That's way overblown anyway because you might as well ban any contact sport as well if an argument is based on that. Back on the issue of chair shots (debated a few weeks back) you also have to remember Cody isn't just a regular wrestler. It's not exactly Vince taking a chair shot but it's hardly a regular roster member doing so.

Overcame polio as a kid and a severe car accident later in life. (On a separate note anyone ever hear the Undertaker's "I've crippled more people than polio" line? ?) Not someone to mess with either as this story (while working as a court appointed server) details... "A couple times my encounters did turn physical. Once, I went to a guy's workplace for the third time in an attempt to track him down. The eight month time period to serve him was about to expire. If I didn't serve him this time, the courts would have to refile the paperwork on the guy. I was determined to not let that happen. So, with the help of his employer, I found the guy and threw the court summons onto his lap while he was trying to drive away in his car. When someone physically touches the papers, they're legally served. As you could imagine, the guy was angry as hell. He stopped his car, got out and threw a punch at me. I've blocked a hell of a lot stronger and faster punches in my life, and I wasn't about to let this one connect. So I deflected it and then slapped the **** out of the bastard. As a process server, you do all you can to refrain from using force. But as far as I was concerned, this was self-defence. In any other situation, I would have done a lot more than just bitch-slap the guy." "Seeing the different reactions was the fun part of the job. They ranged from perplexed looks from people who said: "Harley Race? What are you doing here?" to fans wanting me to stay and chat. Some got their court papers and an autograph all at once. That's a full service process-server. " "All in all I served around 500 people between 1996 and 1999, and I'm proud to say I had a 100 percent success rate. There wasn't a single person I wasn't able to track down."

...and maybe Rovers fans aren't image conscious enough.

Bury's owner has been rather hostile to the Football League while the administrators at Bolton obviously haven't. It's a lot easier dealing with people who's job description is to manage distressed assets. Bury's 2 postponed games should be replayed at a later date since the points aren't meaningless at this stage. Teams shouldn't be rewarded points because of other clubs situations. That includes the Middlesbrough game in 1997. Though obviously nobody here who remembers would have voiced much complaint had Rovers been awarded the points.

I didn't like him when he played for Everton the first time round. Unpleasant thug then, unpleasant thug now.

Assuming that area is the affluent Alderley Edge there's barely any difference.

Man United agreed not to steal any promotions from the women's team for 2 years in return for providing cannon fodder...I mean opposition at short notice. Premier League International Cup draw has placed Rovers in a group with Newcastle United, Benfica and Hertha Berlin.

Harry Arter (Parker's Brother In Law) has signed on loan. No official announcement yet though Fulham have tweeted a picture of him training with them.

What's worse? Not noticing the need to sign defenders or noticing it and not rectifying the issue anyway? ?

Why on earth would anyone hire that thug as a coach never mind manager? Not to mention he's thick as a brick.

Arkan planned UEFA chief murder

Can't imagine who that is ?

More justified than over the top hatred of Keith Andrews isn't it? ?

Speaking of catering any feedback on Sodexo's return to Ewood after 18 years?

More UEFA "fairness". https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/celtic-cluj-uefa-champions-league-16693166
