Glad you enjoyed the day out. 1n he wider scheme of things if you "enjoy" bobbing along between 15th and 21st - that's your (and Parson's) prerogative. As such knowledgeable and seasoned observers I can't understand why you both seem to be so content for us to be poor.

Don't think either Birmingham or Wrexham will hang onto their managers if results dont pick up. They're in it to be successful not to be sentimental. It was obvious from the Birmingham documentary that Wagner and Brady think the world of Chris Davies, but, they are focused on getting to the Premier League and if they dont think he's the man for it, they'll probably drop him without a second thought. Parkinson- if results dont improve - why would anyone keep him? He's no track record at this level.

It's six points from five games. I'd say relief was more appropriate than enjoyment yesterday. We bloody needed that.

Boom Boom! Yes we did. Fair play, I definitely wasn't expecting that. Glad to hear Wharton apparently played well, I've always had him down as our best CB when fit. Keeping him and Carter fit and Gudjonssen being half decent will be crucial to our season Id say.

Im pleased for Weimann. Couldn't really care less how Derby do either way.

Yet it's only 0-0.

Or right back.

We'll see how good he is this season in Travis's absence. Im not expecting a great deal, probably a repeat of the last time Travis was absent 2 seasons ago. At best.

Bayes is probably not aware of the latest hearing would be my guess. Think Wilesden has summarised it as the need to provide a guarantee when sending funds over has been removed and the maximum they can be fined is £7.7m No doubt he'll correct me if Im wrong.

Those are quite simply horrific.

I thought my comment was fairly obviously slightly tongue in cheek. As for your second paragraph - agree that's fairly unlikely, the atmosphere around the Club isn't convivial enough for a civil conversation let alone that according to most accounts.

Yep. Push on to "mid table" next season. One after that should be looking at "top half" One after that should be looking at being "in play off contention" At best nothing whatsoever will happen, and the protagonists sail off into the sunset with their pockets stuffed full of cash. Rip it up, start again on another "project" or "process" - rinse and repeat.

Very good last night, as good as the weekend was bad. I'm genuinely excited about going to a tournament under Tuchel as I feel we have a genuine chance of winning under him which wasn't something I ever felt like with Southgate in charge.

Good job the FA didnt follow your advice or he'd be looking for a new job by now!

Do they not give you and Tricky any actual work to do at the Club?

Difficult to think that won't be the case.

Others have made the same point many times previously but (when allowed) it's always the same sort of amount despite numerous cost savings over the years isn't it?

It looks like the differences are mainly limited to SPL Clubs loaning 16-21 year olds to other Scottish "Partner" Clubs. (Whatever they are) I did also read something online saying Scottish Clubs could also loan players from England but I suspect that's several years out of date.

Grim reading. Only 23 players including a keeper completely out of favour and various sick notes.

Who's left to sell? Pears/ Tronstad?

I agree. Incredibly convenient. And yet.....on the face of it the timing wasn't actually the owners fault unless they can influence the Court listing process. Wonder what the excuse will be for not spending in January? Should we start a sweepstake?

Im sure I speak for everyone in thanking you for your sterling efforts in covering this saga and explaining to everyone in simple terms what it all means Wilesden. 🙂 It'll probably be a couple of weeks before the "professional" reporter over at the LT even realises there's been a hearing. So now it seems there genuinely is "no impediment" to funding - whether a serious one or merely an inconvenient one. Wonder if this will mean we see the financial handbrakes lifted a bit in January? Somehow I doubt it but if so they could start by reinstating the women's team.

I might be wrong but I thought the article reproduced on here suggested it was a Company which specialised in investing in women's football in return for taking a stake.

Just had a quick glance, the rules seem to be different in Scotland.

Never said anything different. We dont however know the full story behind this alleged offer of outside investment. Even if it existed, the terms being offered might might have been completely unrealistic. Bottom line is I dont think the owners really want to own a men's or a women's team any longer. The only job for Gestede and Pasha et al is to extract any remaining value whilst keeping themselves in lucrative employment for as long as they possibly can. Id say they're merely finishing off the process initiated and perfected by Waggott over many years personally, but like a player who's injured for a long time and who suddenly turns into Pele in the minds of the supporters in their absence, Waggott seems to have turned from public enemy number one or maybe two to Sir Stephen of Sandwich Kent on a galloping white steed or something since he was potted.
