I’ve had a look for myself - neither Tony Mowbray nor Mark Venus are currently involved with any property companies and haven’t been for a significant period of time. The ones they have been in add up as quite normal for professionals in football to invest in. The company you posted ‘Mark Venus’ has nothing to do with Mark Venus and is operating in the Seychelles.

These copy and pastes are almost impossible to believe - can I suggest you screen shot them?

Yeah - it’s worth different things to different people. To a housing developer the land is worth 150M in revenue. If you want to buy it to build a football academy there will be a different value on the land. Essentially, the option to rebuy the land will never be there again because it’s worth hundreds of millions of pounds more to a developer than it is to a football club.

I’m not bothered about us losing money on building it, although as you say it makes no sense. I’m concerned what happens when we’re (hopefully) back in the Premier League and nobody says “the training centre isn’t big enough - we need to move the academy elsewhere” and all the local land is worth hundreds of millions of pounds and we don’t want to pay that. Before you know it we’ve swapped two sites half a mile between each other for two sites 4 miles away from each other.

150M? They’re selling the land, not developing the houses themselves. They’ll be lucky to get 20M from knocking down the STC and selling the land. I could accept it if it was 150M.

Because you’ve spent 6 months compensating for the injured knee is the short story.

I’m no physio but I believe if the lower leg has a certain lack of movement it can only be ACL. You need the MRI to confirm it, but it’s always the case.

He did his right vs. Wigan. Same injury, other knee. You’re at a much higher risk of doing it just after recovering from one.

Dack’s done his left ACL.

I’m watching on DAZN, might have been a different section of audio, but he screamed in pain the second that left knee bent.

You couldn’t hear him scream when he went down?

If that’s as bad as it sounded, that could be career ending.

Yes

Yes, Gallagher tried to kick the ball but ended up twatting the back of their players legs.

I’ve given Buckley pelters a few times - bad choices, not physical enough, not influencing games. But tonight he’s been superb. If he can maintain this level of performance he’s going to be brilliant for us. I desperately hope he makes me eat my words.

How much for 2,000 leaflets delivered to each house on Brockhall questioning whether they want a building site outside their 500K house for 2 years?

We’d get overrun in midfield and lose 8-4.

I think it’s fair to say most top footballers undergo a body transformation at some point in their career - either through hard work or maturity. It’s not random that the elite clubs develop their players in this way. I can’t see any reason why it isn’t entirely plausible to suggest Buckley is currently lightweight and to succeed at a high level, must fill out.

I’ve absolutely no idea. He’d be coming here if I was in charge. And it would probably end badly.

I’m a romantic, I’d get Jordan Rhodes in to lead the line and Tugay in as manager.
