Thank fuck

I bet theres some sore heads on here this morning, mine included - feels good though! 😁 In the immediate term I’d like to see Hobbs and O’Neill signed up & available to join the squad at Gillingham. We’ve got new owners & i believe they have the best interests of BWFC at heart. We’ve just got rid of an evil bastard - rejoice!

One unknown factor to consider: who will we be bringing in on loan? We could sure do with a striker or 3 for starters. None of the triallists seem to fit the bill.

Has Kane been blocked from starting threads yet?

Cracked open a bottle of Prosecco at 7.00pm, a bottle of Malbec at 8.30pm, onto the port at 10.00 and just opened a fresh bottle of LBV now. I’ve had enough down days following BWFC to know when to celebrate the great ones. 

Can’t wait for Saturday.

COYWM!

ps, Ken is a sweaty, crabby cunt and his grandkids look like Ben Amos

How are we getting on this morning? 😂

Congratulations to Michael James and Sharron Brittan, most importantly for getting it over the line, but also for their impeccable conduct throughout the entire process and testing circumstances.

They are an example to those who ought to know better.  Lets hope the whingers, whiners and bellyachers will allow them at least a bit of time before resuming normal service.

Could have done without a 5.50am alarm from my 8 month old, but it’s a strangely satisfying hangover.

Agreed. They fought tooth and nail to get us, the least they deserve is some patience and time. We all know there won’t be £££ millions chucked at the team, but at least we have a club - we so nearly didn’t.

Totally agree with your first sentence.

Shame you had to spoil it with your second sentence - unnecessary!

Normally I'd say - lets get experience. But Nolan would just feel right to me for this stage. It might not work out - but he's one of us. And right now I think that is quite a benefit.

Nailed on, itk.

Think with Nolan he could attract some Premier League players to come on loan to us, he probably has a good relationship with some teams. The Nigel Pearson link I think its unrealistic very much doubt he will want to manage us.

Popular ex player who has managed Notts County. 

Worked out alright last time we did that!

Bit of a slippery thing to do that, Boby

Have you ever noticed that miracles is an anagram of Marc Iles? Miracles would never cease if he ever got round to reporting how much Dean Holdsworth cost BWFC or how much Ken Anderson stood to lose if he didn't strike a deal with EDT.

Iles' article today makes no mention of Michael James or Sharron Brittan, focussing only on the bitter diatribe of an administrator who tried to pull a fast one on Ken Anderson and seemed to have a few hissy fits when KA would have none of it.

Some may remember me saying that KA would put his family's financial wellbeing first. That's exactly what he did and I couldn't help noticing it months ago.

Yeh Nolan, i’d be happy with that & lets see where the next chapter takes us.

And normal service is resumed.

the night of the long knives can't come soon enough.

Last word on the slug k.a     -     I see motcombs has had some lovely TripAdvisor reviews  !!    

Anyone know if staff got paid today? Should be showing up as pending to go in overnight.

Slippery maybe, highlighting the irony of your post though seemed the right thing to do. As this will be my last post on this thread, I’ll be happy to buy you a pint at Gillingham on Saturday as an act of contrition.
