  1. Did we ever find out what the ST did with the money it took from people?
  2. The new owner will pot PP for the reasons Mounts said but at least he got the point I was making. U23s football in this country is a shit idea and gives a shit product and managing at that level has absolutely no relation to managing a professional team so we shouldn't just give David Lee the job because he's been what is seen as successful at that level. I hope I'm not right with this because I always want people to do well but Connell will leave us in the off season and go to a club higher up the pecking order where he will play in their 23s and then go out on loan a la Williams and Connolly and Robinson and then end up scrabbling around for a contract at league 1 or maybe championship level at a push for the rest of his career. He is a million miles away from being a player we can base a team around and at his age it shouldn't even be being put on his shoulders in the way some people are suggesting we do. As an aside, I'd renew my ST tonight even if it meant having to sit downstairs.
  3. Imagine being a new owner and thinking to yourself "Right, I need an experienced league 1 manager who has been involved in teams who've been promoted and who doesn't spend much money" and then your first job is to sack someone who ticks all them boxes. It's a funny old game is football, especially in the BL postcode regions.
  4. He was in the club shop this arvo buyng people replica kits with cash, definitely as crazy as bat shit and let's hope he's minted as well.
  5. One thing that others and Howard especially kept saying was that Bill Gates could take us over but it doesn't mean he's going to spunk billions on us, someone saying they have X million pounds means cock all - it's how much they are going to spend that matters.
  6. Doesn't seem to get mentioned ever but when staff and players don't get paid then I'm guessing PP isn't getting anything either. Guaranteed BSA would have wanted his money or these other potential saviours like Warnock et al. Ignoring the obvious "he's shut so shouldn't be getting paid" replies I honestly wonder how much it will turn out that when its all written down that PP kept it all together for us in spite of the financial situation and some players behaving like prima donnas.
  7. Surely there's a good argument to say that the kids will get nothing positive from playing these last few games and so the players responsible for us being where we are should have to go through it.
  8. Think this is probably not the right place for this but I was on Twitter at dinner and saw that thing about Streatham Rovers and the team sheet spelling out SRFC ARE SHIT : https://twitter.com/streathamrovers/status/1115680648684081153?s=21 Had a quick go and with 2 subs and a bit of leeway turns out we can churn out this: Williams,Ben Hobbs,Jack Ameobi,Sammy Taylor,Andrew Alnwick,Ben Connolly,Callum Lowe,Jason O’Neil,Gary Williams,Joe Noone,Craig Buckley,Will Oztumer,Erhun Olkowski,Pawel Sure there must be a better one in there though somewhere.
  9. The only people who care are us. Other fans might offer sympathy and sound bites but that's them being glad its us and not them. The entire game is not sustainable when you look at wages and club incomes, TV money has pushed it this way and if that disappeared the house of cards would fall down. RL is completely dependent on the same and would crumble even more quickly without the TV coin. I don't like pointing the obvious out without even putting forwards an outlandish solution but if we cease existing It will affect maybe 2000 in an extreme way, another 8000 in a serious way, and maybe 10000 other in no real way at all apart from them ballooning about BSA.
  10. They have absolutely zero rights to buy the club, they have a right to put a bid in on the stadium which can be completely ignored.
  11. The Pole flattered to deceive for his first 3 games as he had a bit of energy about him going forwards but he is totally one-footed, can't cross or pass, very bad defensively from a positional point of view, and he struggles to get back after bombing forward. None of that is Parky's fault and it's why the lad was even available to come to us in the first place, he is just Jedi Robinson Part 2.
  12. It was his sloppy pass that caused the break that ended up with him being last man.
  13. Not sure if this is allowed on here but with us all being grown ups, if the pain is chronic which it sounds like it is then have you thought about giving marijuana or hemp a go ? It obviously won't treat the underlying causes but it might be an option to relieve the pain rather than prescription stuff.
  14. Honestly think we can do this, 4 points in these next 2 games and we'll romp to safety. It's the hope that kills you.
  15. You can almost feel the smugness radiating from the screen of your chosen device as Custodiet thinks he has won the day and is resuming what he sees as his rightful role on the forum. Truly mindblowing gobshitery.
  16. I posted previously and Traf replied about this but forums are often used by people with a very specific agenda to control what's going on or to keep an eye on what is going on, I've been in the middle of this where people have lost their freedom because of it. I can't see any positive reason for info to be leaked here, what Traf said about NDA still applies here as much as it does to just emailing Iles from Howard@whoknows.co.uk, this forum doesn't have a massive reach and if you secretly fed Nixon it would have a wider reach. I actually think Howard is who they say they are but still don't get their gain from putting stuff on here, lots of Wanderers fans don't come on here and loads don't trust here so it's not going to sway opinion or anything. Referencing "poor upbringing" or "cotton mill chip" basically means they are trying for a reaction from the stupid or are just fucking stupid themselves, why try to get a reaction from here from people who just pay their season tickets year after year but apart from that aren't fucking interested in all these people trying to turn a profit from our club?
  17. Can't have been Ameobi, he's always the one being carried not the one carrying anything
  18. Can't believe WestStandUpper is still pretending they are in the middle of this, at least that Kian kid who has never had a shave opted out. All we want is after a week in fucking humdrum jobs to have 10 people in white and 1 in green kicking a bag of wind around a patch of grass and instead we have all this and Dean Moxey making 8k a week. It's no wonder your normal person can relate less and less to higher level football.
  19. That's true but it still means we have a document confirming someone has 52 million in their account filled in incorrectly by the manager of the CS&A arm of ING.
  20. Gives a place for his date of birth, would expect better from a document confirming someone had 52 million in their bank - you just can't get the staff these days.
  21. One thing I'm struggling with is that Howard are getting paid to do a job and they have decided that as part of that they are going to control and direct a conversation on a niche forum whose members have little to no influence on the situation, where's the gain ? I've seen big interests secretly be part of small forums before but there's always been an obvious reason for it, just can't see it in this case.
  22. As genius a comment as that was it might have cost me an HD monitor after I spat my cider out laughing. Fucking brilliant.
  23. Chris Lester-ine
  24. You'd have to think a restraining order might mean we've seen Custard's Last Stand ?
  25. Sidestepping the last few pages, Nolan's name wouldn't even be in the frame if he wasn't an ex-player and so that should be enough to rule him out - we need to make big decisions based on facts not sentiment if we are going to grow from a fresh start with a new owner.
