  1. Ball winner, driving force, anchor man, leader, legend, Just a selection of how he'll end up getting remembered by a few of the usual suspects around December if we are struggling and he's making cameo appearances somewhere
  2. If Venkys managed Elton he'd be driving himself to every gig in a Nissan micra with his piano on an old wooden trailer yet they'd rent him Blenheim Palace to crash out in.and pay his roadie more than him because a mate told them he was the best roadie ever. Crackpots
  3. If only he was there 6 years ago ..........
  4. I don't need to ask any boxing fan pal I am one and have been 25+ years and have seen many HW fights live including fighters like Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis etc so what we have here is my opinion and your opinion. You'd be surprised how many don't rate Fury that highly although it's not to say he isn't a good fighter who looked to be getting better. Right now Joshua has the tools to smash someone like Fury out the ring Fury has never come up against anyone like him & vice versa. He's deceptively quick to close the ring down when he attacks and has fast hands but obviously he's raw. 19 fights that's why he hasn't fought anyone and don't talk to me about the likes of Cunningham & Johnson who Fury had probs with, look at their records i'm pretty sure some of Joshuas opponents could handle that pair. Also it's not always about AJ v Fury that's social media kids stuff there's room at the top for both and anyone who Fury might fight outside of Wlad who I've always been a fan of and AJ then i'd be wanting him to win. Admittedly can't stand the jerk or his crew and at the end of the day the guy turned out to be a coked up possible roid user and there's obviously some good reason they aren't lifting his suspension despite time served and it isn't the bull victimisation crap that Warren & Uncle Peter try and portray. By the time he comes back who knows what'll be left ? But if he does come back let him prove all this mythical nonsense by taking on and beating top opponents not pretending he dances like the next Ali when infact he's done nothing except pull off a one off the likes of which have happened regularly throughout Heavyweight history. Anyway I think it' destined to be another Bowe v Lewis - it'll never come off.
  5. Based on what ???? Oh yes ONE decent career performance against an ageing flat footed champ who had a bad night then had a good one and got battered
  6. Never in a hundred years will Fury take a piledriver or 3 from AJ I can see it in him his legs have stiffened a few times never mind when he was decked by not big punchers. However he might well bust Joshua up if he can avoid big shots for 6/7 rounds which in my opinion he won't. Keep In mind it was just Joshuas 19th fight so yes he showed a lot of naivety but by the time this fight comes around he should have ironed that out meanwhile Fury might well have been out over 2 years. It'll be like starting over again and i'm not sure what kind of shape either physically or mentally he'll achieve again after that lay off and being likely wrong side of 30. Aj might look like Bruno by he's borrowed tools from Lennox & Iron Mike, he nearly fell into the trap of letting Wlad dictate whereas Fury never let him so I can see he putting it on Fury from the off so it's an interesting one and I hope it happens but I genuinely doubt it ever will. Besides they've both got to remain unbeaten I suppose and the way AJ goes at it I reckon there might be an upset somewhere there's some big punchers out there. I see the same with Fury unless they fast track him into the winner of the Wlad / AJ rematch.
  7. Cannot stand the guy but Groves deserves his title at last and just like Bruno proved if you keep going eventually you'll come across a limited beatable opponent in a title fight. McCuigan has done a good job with Groves, the tools were always there and George might reign for a while now until he comes against a top notch fighter who can punch.
  8. Well the 2 mill per annum it probably costs to run could make a nice difference invested into the first team at this level for sure. That's why the only reason i see them really persisting with it is to soley replace buying players by fast tracking our own ready or not. Far easier to operate that model in this div than any higher, or so they'll have been 'advised'.
  9. I think the future of the club is being laid out pretty clearly in the recent LT propaganda pieces. Sit in the middle of this division and produce academy players for the first team of league 1 standard. Do things on the cheap and hope to get lucky one season whilst the owners keep the lights on and ignore it. There'll be no urgent scramble to get to back the championship, why should there be ? Some have had this model in mind for years and here it is.
  10. Probably just the BOI's guys looking how they can streamline the operation and it can continue to run itself whilst Venkys pretend it isn't their fault but promise the bank there will be a new set of young players to cash in 18 months to pay down the overdraft again. Hopefully they see the true story and insist on a sale.
  11. Seems odd a bit of an Indian poultry conglomerate should pop up in St Helier, Jersey the base of our former owners.
  12. Do they really own Gary Neville's old house ? If so no doubt the club paid for it so it's about time that was cashed in.
  13. Was just going to say don't we have our own accountant ? What kind of dweeb is he if he can't sort it himself ? Fair enough they might want a second opinion but that guy evidently couldn't run a bath. The real story though will be a set of outside accountants looking at where and how working capital can be well raised as well as cuts. Mike will be hiding in his summer caravan until it's all over.
  14. If we had a real board of directors or still banked with Barclay's then their hand could have been forced by seizing control of the club. The way they've done stuff though prevents anything like that and it makes you wonder if that was planned. Non league is inevitable IMO and it's a pity the pie suppliers can't force admin
  15. If they don't go or do a 360 in the way things are done then it really is just a question of what comes first going bust or going into non league. Really that simple they've broken every other bad record at the club so the next one will be 4 tier for first time ever.
  16. Yep another player or 2 in Jan could have proved priceless but no he shows his true intentions by brining in only his man. The guy will have pound signs in his eyes now, just another snout in as fast emptying trough.
  17. He's going to get freebie 2k per week players foisted upon him and loans of players whose parent club sends them for nowt and who don't really want to be here. Probably had that before at Coventry and he'll know exactly where it leads so I wouldn't be surprised to see a Lambert style 6 month clause suddenly pop up. Dunn will be in charge by August I'd almost stick money on it, TM will get shafted one way or another.
  18. There was a specially customised WBA Super title belt made for Saturday with the fighters names on it. That clears that up then
  19. Even Joshua has apologised in advance of a fight with Fury saying he might have to break his politeness.
  20. There's the IBO as well which AJ now holds.
  21. There was some new thing up for grabs Sat night I'm certain although whether it's an actual new belt or just a one off I don't know. Don't take much notice of the politics side of as not many big fights seem to get made with the titles in mind now it's the PPV etc they are most bothered about.
  22. It is getting daft with all the belts now and they've created something else called the 'super' title or something which was up for grabs last night. It makes it difficult now for 1 guy to dominate but I suppose that's the idea and the more big title fights the more £££££ and dollars I suppose. I always thought of the WBC green strap as the most coveted then the IBF but in previous eras it was probably the WBA & WBO. Now they have the IBO amongst others and also these interim titles like the WBC silver belt and such like. Plain daft but it's big business.
  23. Fury got stripped of the IBF straight away because he had agreed a rematch with Wlad instead of a mandatory. Two bums fought for it and the winner Charles Martin could'nt resist Hearns offer so he got served up to Joshua who battered him in 2. Same problem is now set to happen to Joshua. Then obviously Fury had to relinquish all the other belts before he was stripped over his drug related problems so I think the WBA became available for this fight once it was agreed seeing as Klitschko was robbed of the chance to win it back after holding it for years. Seems fair enough to me although the IBF were out of order with Fury. Have to say I've been to countless live fights but never seen a crowd react like that to a KO. It was like England scoring a last minute winner v Scotland or something, amazing. We also stayed in the same gaff as the Sky team and Nelson, Barker, Froch etc were all in the bar Sat night. Gentleman to a man they all were and such a contrast to lower level footballers who are often classless crude knobs if you happen to bump into them. It was a shame Adam Booth came and sent them all to bed !
