I suppose at least "long commute" makes a change from the old favourites of "to spend more time with his family" and "to explore other business opportunities".

Yes really. Without financing in place the auditors won't sign off the accounts on a going concern basis. Consequently they'll have to be redrafted on a realiseable value basis.

We have their explanation - funding has not been guaranteed for the next year so the accounts can't be signed off (on a going concern basis). I guess it's a matter of opinion whether or not you consider this reasonable. Personally I think it's just another example of the poor management and...

Or to switch off through boredom at hearing the same regurgitated cr@p again......

Not a great game, but we won and our keeper didn't have a save to make. Feeling good about the result, tune in to CWR for the drive home. Then that plank comes on. Time to turn over to listen to the rugby.

MMM - I have to admire your continued attempts to use logic in this debate. I can only assume that it's done more in hope than expectation........ :p

I was right behind the goal - it looked like it was heading for the top corner, but swerved a little more at the last second....

I imagine it's a good few more than just those on the SOC coaches. I wouldn't normally go to Reading away, but 2 of us will be heading there from Shropshire and meeting up with 3 of the family from London at the game.

I'd guess that as we've heard nothing official, they're probably still talking.

I'd settle for the same result!!

Most prevalent in the West End in the mid 70's. The other similar one - a few years earlier - was "Spider - Brogan", as between those who favoured Chris Cattlin for left back and those who preferred Jim Brogan. Ah the 70's......... (drifts off into a warm nostalgic mist....)

To sell a player you need: 1) A club that wants to buy him and 2) The player's agreement that he will join that club on the terms offered. The fact that a player has not been sold does not mean that his club have not tried to sell him.

I've never really understood what SISU were offering to co-investors. By anyones' standards they haven't made a success of turning the business around, they've alienated (many of) the supporters and it appears that they've been told that they can forget owning the Ricoh. Getting someone to...

What you say makes sense - in the short term. SISU accept relegation, sell pretty much anyone they can get a fee for and so then cover a large part of the lost Championship revenue for the 2012/12 season. What I don't understand is what comes next. We have the cash to see us through a year...

Not a graveyard of ambition - more a graveyard of employability!

Those teams may not have been "rolling in money", but I don't recall them having their squads decimated in the way ours has been. Realistically, taking players of the importance of Westie, Turner, Gunna, King & Juke out of a squad (with Crainie & Clingan also off soon?) was always going to...

He's going up in my estimation!!

Your memory is OK Wingy, he was one of the original utility players. I think he might have started up front, but then played anywhere on the left.

My "formative years" were the 70's - I think back to the players I saw: Bill Glazier, Roy Barry, Ernie Hunt, Neil Martin, Willie Carr, Dennis Mortimer, Colin Stein, Tommy Hutchison, Jim Blyth, Graham Oakey, Ian Wallace, Mick Ferguson, Terry Yorath, Jim Holton, Gary Gillespie, Danny Thomas...
