  1. Davies and Wheater Not just that though Seemingly the wages chucked around since relegation Andrews, baptiste, Spearing etc
  2. if you're on about the shop, some decent beers but found it a bit pricey, probably due to it's location, there's better shops situated around s manc in terms of selection and price if you're on about the cafe, not been
  3. can't remember which hotel i stayed in gothic quarter is good, as is park guel worth getting on the hop on/hop off bus doings to see it all
  4. I signed up for the trust thing, just to see like forgot then remembered when they sent this update yesterday: "Dear Zico, We are progressing well with setting up the Trust and investigating how the Trust could take part in a community-led takeover of the club. At our last Steering Group meeting we had an update on what is happening with the bank account. Frustratingly this isn’t simply a case of walking into a bank and getting one. We’ve had to fill out forms, speak to bank managers and wait. Most of all wait. We are actively engaged in opening a bank account for the Trust and have submitted 2 applications with 2 banks to open a Community Bank Account and whichever bank completes the paperwork first, we will be going with. Sadly the delay in setting up an account such as this is due to the checks which need to be undertaken by the banks themselves. We are currently calling both banks daily to check on the progress of our application and once we have the account set up we will be able to collect membership fees for the Trust. We also discussed the elections to the board of the Trust. We have been advised by Supporters Direct that this could take 3 months from membership fees being collected. The Steering Group do not want this process to take that long. Consequently we are now setting up a dedicated working group to investigate how we can reduce this timescale and to ensure that the elections are fully democratic and accessible to all members. We hope that whilst we are waiting for the bank account to be set up, we can make significant headway in preparing for the elections so that we can announce news of both in as quick succession as possible. As with all elections there will be a timetable for nominations, sharing the details of the candidates and then the elections – so when we have those details we will share them. In regards to the takeover of the club. We are still awaiting news on the preferred bid status from the club, but we are still in constant dialogue with them. We have also continued speaking to a number of local institutions and businesses who have expressed an interest in our Community-led takeover offer. When speaking to all of these potential partners, we have made it abundantly clear that this is a scheme to bring BWFC back into the heart of the Bolton community. We will not be working with anyone who is not committed to this fundamental aim. We appreciate that people will want to know who we are speaking to, but due to commercial sensitivities and confidentiality at this stage we are unable to list who they are. However, again we reiterate that we will not be working with anyone who does not support and is willing to sign up to the aims of the Trust. The lack of a credible takeover from the numerous other parties who have expressed an interest in our club has driven us to prepare this offer, albeit far sooner than any of us had envisaged. We are deeply concerned that time is running out and we do not want to see our Club stripped of its prized assets, including the stadium and hotel, and our best young players if the worst were to happen if the winding up petition was to be enforced later this month. We believe that we can offer an alternative for the Club which is focused on the community. Working together with like-minded institutions, business and individuals we can put our club back at the heart of our community. Thank you again for your patience whilst we continue to get everything set up, and once we have any further news we will let you know."
  5. aye, he's still there did a quick wiki, says he's worth £165m in 2012, in comparison ED was worth £60M in 2004 according to this site, they've spent about £40M since they were relegated, and received about £16M http://www.transferleague.co.uk/middlesbrough/english-football-teams/middlesbrough-transfers also just read the reason why Clement was sacked at Derby, is because his style of football wasn't the "Derby Way" - what the fuck? since when they had a way?
  6. Was just bout to post the same Playing or not he was the last ex Wanderer I thought would last long at west ham Fair play to him
  7. And the bloke just strolls back after Proof there'll be some cracking away days in league one
  8. If you find one pm me the link
  9. 22 years ago to the day: twenty fucking two
  10. Did the Robocop remake the other day had been avoiding it wasn't actually as bad as I thought it was going to be - better than what they did to Total Recall watched Noah as well, shite
  11. liverpool got a good point to be fair: https://twitter.com/90thMin/status/696964225651048448
  12. They also do tactics and stuff in training and prepare for matches based on the opposition He just played 5 a side over and over again

    Nfl

    How did newton not see that bloke coming at him then
  15. He isn't that clever When you ask him a question he Googles the answer on that little screen of his first
  16. He had managed west Brom in the pl But other than that Right cunt
  17. Was more about their turnaround how far they have come in 12 months Spose it's easy to pay that when you know you'll be in the PL next year but it's not just him that got them where they are, be interesting to see how well the rest of the team do out of this one off season for them Again not knocking them at all, it's just all a bit bonkers
  18. Just reading vardy's new deal is 80k a week!
  19. 13 points ahead of utd and a good run of fixtures Can't see them finishing outside the top 4 Big weekend next weekend as well with top 4 playing each other
  20. Aye Not knocking Leicester or owt but they are hardly on a budget, they've got a 9m signing out in loan as well Granted it's a million miles for city and relatively speaking they ain't spending to challenge like Blackburn were And it will be a great achievement if they win it Mainly because this time last year they were something like 4 points adrift at the bottom
  21. Leicester had an £8m lad on the bench! At the time rovers were spending less than the team they were competing with: http://www.theguardian.com/football/when-saturday-comes-blog/2013/oct/23/blackburn-premier-league-title-earned-1995
  22. They'll make it quite clear you need to pay for it as there will be no free alternative
  23. Like tony Daley on sensible world of soccer
