Better to postpone it now, rather than hang on until tomorrow afternoon. If Saturdays game gets postponed, then I really do think it's time to worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted August 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2019 Literally thousands of lads at Conf level and below would jump at the chance of playing league football on a non-contract basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Banks Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Personally I think it’s the right decision, with regards to the young lads, and yes I have no doubt the would be itching to play. The biggest concern is the position of the takeover and like a few on here I’m wondering if it will happen in time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I was thinking, I know a couple Confrence North level, semi pro, would rip your arm off Add to the fact 4 lads against Coventry were 20 or older (surely adults who can handle two games a week), Chuck in the 4 ‘senior pros’, we should be easily able to cobble together a team to keep going (safely) I really fear for us now we have missed this Rather lose 15-0 and get 0 points than miss a game and get a points deduction like Boro Edited August 19, 2019 by birch-chorley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisw99 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 So, checked the @EFL twitter to see if they have anything to say after being blasted by Parky. What have they tweeted today.. A retweet of Sky showing Sammy Ameobi's class, and a retweet of a Tranmere tweet. I get the feeling they're rubbing our noses in it now... EFL Retweeted Sky Bet @SkyBet 3h This is Sammy Ameobi's world.

Tommy Banks Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Nixon keeps saying there is another party interested in the club. But admin sticking with FV. If it’s fact why won’t admin entertain there interest. I’m fully aware of people’s view on Nixon, but there’s always the chance he’s right.

There is a risk there but I'd have thought better to take an offer than risk not going anywhere? I think the risk is the increased chance of getting injured when parachuted in to a game (Does anybody remember Juergen Sommer) without the necessary preparations and, in all likelihood, without any guarantee of on-going payment or insurance if we were to fold. Semi-pro’s would be the way but how does that affect squad registration numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyj Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 He's been spouting on abiut Kamani brothers getting the club via the hotel for a while now. Don't know their intentions, don't really care at this point. FV have had enough time to get this done. If Boohoo are viable, just get it done.

Although I suppose if they're still a free agent, then the likelihood is that they're utter dogshit and nobody else wants them anyway (or their wage demands are too high, which means we wouldn't be signing them anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted August 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted August 19, 2019 owning the land the hotel is on could be somebodys game and if the club is liquidated and somebody wants the land, the land the hotel is on could be worth much more than now?

You get injured then you don't play until you are fit. You probably aren't going to get Lionel Messi but it's got to be better than putting a load of 16 year old kids in the line of fire.
