Good job we’ve already Signed Fabio Silva then!

 

[Johnny75]

Hilarious

 

[PuntsWolf]

It’s a serious comment...

It would seriously affect our transfer policy

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bartomeu has resigned from the Barca presidency which isn't very good news for Koeman...

 

[YoungWolf]

Was going to say, does that speed up the process for Xavi to take over? The elections will happen sooner?

 

[Keef]

Southend FC pay a £494.000 tax bill to HMRC to avoid being wound up and ceasing to exist

 

[Tony Towner]

If the PL sign off on the Burnley sale then they'll be in League 1 within 4 years

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Did see that the one guy was quite involved in the various shenanigans at Charlton over the last year or so. That should be a massive red flag straight away.

 

[Tony Towner]

And the other Bolton and Bury

 

[White Wolf]

Had interactions with Charlton, failed the fit and proper test but that disqualification was revoked on appeal, worked with Bury, and used to work for Cellino at Leeds. Red flags all over the place!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don't know if it's the same fella but someone was trying to install Dave Jones as DoF at Bury before they went pop...

Not sure repeatedly signing all the same players he signed in the early 2000s would be that effective now.

Not the one I wanted though

 

[BillyDee]

They've got the Canvey Island game on, went to school with their manager (who one game as player-manager, brought himself on as a sub, scored a penalty, then had to go in goal and saved a penalty...)

After failing ot buy Newcastle, Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan looks like he is about to buy Derby County

Probably a similar profile to us when we got taken over - good history, recently in doldrums, big fan base - Derby could replicate our rise.

The wheels continue to fall off at Barcelona, who are now off to their worst start since 2002.

You love to see it.

 

[Johnny75]

I don't.
