The other option wiggin have is someone buys them for £1.5m rather than the £3m and pay pennies in the pound to those the are owed money. EFL rules mean if they do that they get docked a further 15 points.

Apologies, that is the case. However, there's a very definite window to do that. One we could have exploited but Bassini was poncing about & meant we missed it & so were relegated AND took points the following season.

However, & others may know better, I'm pretty sure you can't do that two years running.

Even if you can , if the finish in a relegation spot anyway the points deduction is carried fwad to next season. Plus they will have an embargo for at least two more years.

At least those twats are going through the wringer a lot longer than we did and with no end in sight!

Oh well,  shame i missed out on the £180mill Eurolottery last week.  I could've nipped down to Robin Park smirking at everyone, knowingly. 

I may even have knocked on the door of the stadium to flick them a couple of fingers.

Those admin updates are taking on the flavour of "A note from the Chairman". Do any of the administrators wear tank-tops? 

The clock is running down.

Oh dear!!

Simples, just get relegated then.

They can’t start next season unless someone buys them, they’ll be kicked out of the football league.

If that happens, then I'd really like them to stay up this season, on goal difference on the last game of the season - let them wildly celebrate and then be liquidated a few days later

What we don't want is them tvvats having pots of Arab money.

They've probably got their wires crossed and the interest is from an Abram consortium?

Probably a group of ex miners and pigeon fanciers have cobbled together enough to put a bid in.

3-0 up against MK.

Is this the We Have No History Derby?

Do you know, when Rochdale beat us last January, their few fans were really taking the piss so I've no sympathy.

I wanted to give them a hiding though before they come back to where they belong

Don’t think they could get out of a paper bag with holes in rochdale.

so long as we go up, not really bothered who comes down, although be a shame to miss out on 2 local games
