The trouble is that if £25 m is him spent up, where will we be thereafter?

You are right, this is a very complicated way to buy a ground unless there is some ulterior motive

After 35 pages, plus the 300+ on the other thread, without knowing exactly why, increasingly think the King deal stinks. The reasons have been listed by others above, but:- Is the King deal signed and done or is it conditional on the outcome of today? Could we end up back 100% SISU owned? Could...

1. Do we know for certain it is non-refundable? For instance were King to get the ground would he have to pay MA? Or was the non-refundable clause a price for exclusivity, and exclusivity enabled MA to drive down the price? 2. Also I remain unconvinced that the poor relationship between SISU...

I never saw Joy as the sort to just roll over and accept the inevitable. Seems that she isn't going quietly.

so MA wants to squeeze SISU and buy the club at a distressed rate, and SISU want to box MA in and get the stadium at a distressed rate, or something liken that anyway

The choice: Championship - three options- flirting with promotion, mid table safety or flirting with relegation. 2/3 are ok Premiership: Every single season a grind to stay up, hanging on to the memory of the very occaisional brilliant victory (see above), but otherwise being regularly...

As landlord it i perfectly right that a change in the tenant structure is discussed with the landlord, who would have had to sign a non-disclosure. So far so sensible. But it looks like the professional arm of the Council had a clear agenda that involved using Council money to prop up a failing...

thankfully not in 1967 - 51455 - I was there

I certainly don't want to get to the Prem. Been there for 33 years, done it, got several T shirts. Why be 17th in the football hierarchy and be trounced regularly, when you could be 27th and win most weeks?

Then why did he invest in Oldham for three years? And briefly rename their stadium the Sports Direct Stadium? Thankfully it is once again Boundary Park (where I saw my first ever professional football match aged 9 - my parents were trying to discourage me, but I loved it)

But I do mind better than zero Championship level level players for the Club. Altho Eccles might do. This is just excuses, excuses, excuses for something fans have a romantic attachment to but costs money Even tho' they are currently talking to Crewe about setting one up, Brentford have got to...

Bayliss has now been evaluated by four clubs - Cov, Preston, Wigan and Shrewsbury. I think he has found his level. I am disappointed too, as I thought he would go higher.

'Take a bow' whoever was running the Academy 10-14 years ago, because since Maddison they have delivered diddly squat. Bayliss (league 1 level eventually), Shipley (definitely League 1 level). Eccles and Burroughs (Jury's out). Not much use to you if you are a poverty stricken club playing one...

I shall be very sad when we lose this group of players. Over three years the squad has been gradually refined and improved - Max and Baka anyone? The key players may have come from elsewhere but they have honed their skills under Robins - O'Hare, Vik and Sheaf were not unwanted by their parent...

My memory is that at the very beginning a number of people were not that impressed, but he was being used as a sub in the main. However very quickly the raw talent was spotted. I remember Grendel saying at end Feb / early March that there was something about Vik, and that he might be worth a...

Are Palmer and O'Hare the new Gerrard and Lampard? Anyway I have always assumed that Palmer was earmarked as the man to play behind the striker once O'Hare was sold

Well the fans on here were almost without exception utterly despondent when they saw the team sheets for both the Blackburn and Watford games. And look what heppened. It follows that the high spirits with which today's team has been greeted will be firmly shat upon by Wigan. 0-2 to Wigan

Unlike the people that immediately posted after this, I think this is a fair summation. New landlord, a bit better, but otherwise status quo. However SISU committing less cash. For what its worth a good friend who is a director of a League 2 team told me recently that it is not uncommon...

Just cos Fisher said it does not mean its true....self evidently and that is not personal to Fisher 'Top of the cycle' is in the eye of the beholder.
