Odd though that some posters believe that when Hoffman was a non-exec Director he was responsible for all ills at the club.......... :-)

Grendel excepted of course :-)

You're obviously too young to remember Don Mackay!

I think some of the recent "anti Thorn" comments on here have been faintly ridiculous - in particular the fuss about the post match comments from Yeovil - however I'm inclined to agree with OSB's observations about too much shouting at individual players - particularly the younger ones.

I think that virtually every team that gets promoted "changes some players", i.e. trys to stregthen their squad. I can't offhand think of any club that has sacked their manager on gaining promotion. Perhaps you're getting a little obsessed??

Used to live in Bristol. The M5 is a nightmare on Saturdays in the school holidays. I'd leave a couple of hours extra at least. If it's clear, you can always spend the extra time I'm the pub (drivers excepted of course!!!). Give them a shout for me - I'm at Lords tomorrow (birthday present from...

No - only saw the story on the bbc website

Interesting to see the story about the Tom Daley tweet: A teenager has been arrested by police investigating abuse of Team GB diver Tom Daley on Twitter. After coming fourth in the men's synchronised 10m platform diving event on Monday, the 18-year-old received a message telling him he had let...

I must confess, I am impressed by your dedication to trying to present SISU's actions over the last couple of years as competent! We don't know what the exact financial situation was. Were SISU unable to get any money or did SISU choose to slash (I think "cut" doesn't do their actions justice)...

Juke had 18 months left on his contract when we sold him. I agree that it is not given that we would have avoided relegation with Juke in the team, but then very few things in life are "given" - death and taxes perhaps... However, I believe that our chances of avoiding relegation would have...

I find it oddly disturbing when I agree with you.........

One of the stalwarts of the team when I started watching Cov - RIP Ernie.

If a player comes on trial, it seems a reasonable assumption that there is some interest on both sides, but one (or both) party isn't sure - otherwise, why bother with a trial? I very much doubt that the manager is the deciding influence in many transfers (particularly at this level) - call me...

Yes you did - you invaded Poland! Or is that the thread about the new attacking midfielder trialist.................

Sonia was the first Sky Monday Night game at HR.Seem to remember we won 1-0 with a goal from John "He's so fast it's unbelievable" Williams.

Only if Grendel is online :D

It's certainly true to say that having debt in those far off days was a lot cheaper (and a lot easier to finance when required) than it is now. However debt (in the context we're talking about it here - i.e. money owed by the club/business to third parties) is a liability and I don't think even...

I agree that when SISU took over the club, a proportion of the debt was taken over by them. Nothing unusual there. In what way was this "similar to the sub-prime debt that started the whole financial crisis"? I'm intrigued.....

Then the consultant that appointed the doctor should either have made sure that the doctor was the right man for the job and/or supervised him to make sure that the patient was progressing as expected. I really don't understand why you seem unable to accept that SISU have any responsibility...

A half decent doctor treats the patient before gangrene sets in!
