Reet.

Earlier on I couldn't make my mind up between being upset (really wet-eyed upset) for Bury, and being sky high happy for us.

Now I've had time to think, fuck me if I was so upset for Bury, and all it entails, what would I have been like if it had been us? I'd always thought something would turn up, I've always believed that is what the last minute is for, something turning up.

Really though, that was nearly us gone. We'll never ever have a closer shave.

I know the myth. Casino knew (apparently) who it really was. 

 

I thought I did

I've been told this week his game was to buy the debt from EDT

Perhaps as well he wasn't succesful

The woman from the Trust - Maggie Tetlow - has been excellent on the telly. 

And radio.

There's definitely a role for some liaison between owners and fans, there's loads that could be done to improve relations.  Even small things like why the hell we kick off at 8pm.  We have a huge opportunity to right some wrongs, but we need someone to take ideas forward to (hopefully) a board that will listen.

We kick off at 8 as a pre condition for the stadium by the council

It’s crackers that they’re gonna be taking more points off the club, players, staff and fans yet the culprit sails off into the sunset.  I think the EFL need to look at the damage he’s caused and make sure it cannot happen again by banning him.  Anyhow, we will have to take it on the chin and move on, like has been said it’s a night of celebrations 🙂 

I get the feeling he wont want to ever buy a football club again now anyway

aye possibly not, he seemed to be most convincing of the three that it wouldn't happen though.

Think he was being realistic and saying this is it. Up to him though to explain. 

 

For me though it was the not defending the sweaty one incessantly like the other two massive bellends.

Esco and I have exchanged many messages

He knows his stuff and based on his experiences he couldn't see it happening

Nobody wanted it more than him

I'm sure he will say it's a tribute to rubins and FV that it got over the line

I’m about to go to sleep with the most peaceful, relaxed mind I reckon I’ve had in 3 years.

Every day and night seems to have been spent arguing the toss about the club, worrying about the club and head getting completely frazzled with the daily sagas.

Literally every single day something happened, a twist in the tale, a note from the chairman, a winding up order, a journalist banned, on and on and on...hour after hour pacing up and down my kitchen on my phone, sat at kids swimming on my phone, sat in the van at work during a storm on my fucking phone. 

Now its all over. Hardly seems real but what a fucking nightmare it’s been for us all. Not just the past few worrying days, weeks or months in admin. The whole sorry saga from the moment Eddie signed the club over. It’s been a fucking trauma and a journey unlike anything else I’ve seen in football, from the bizarre to the down right ridiculous.

But we are still fucking here folks. We made it. We lived to tell the tale. And what a bloody tale it will be.

Goodnight folks... it’s been emotional. Xx

 

Fucking hell. What a post. Exactly how I feel too. It’s been a strain. It sounds odd but often I’ve struggled to sleep thinking about it. It’s only a football club...but it means more than I knew.
