    Bury gone

    They could have made a counter offer at any time. Also, there was a period of a few days after the collapse of the takeover where they could have made a move. That Smurthwaite guy had made an offer too so there was nothing stopping any other party coming forward. The EFL won't reverse their...

    Bury gone

    Can't see the EFL reversing their decision sadly.

    Bury gone

    If he was ever in a position that he needed that money, trust me, he'd call it in. You may say he will never need to but stranger things have happened. Billionaires eventually get bored of their toys.

    Bury gone

    Debt free on paper. Could either team pay their wage bill if their rich owners suddenly decided to do one? Look what almost happened to Forest when their bank roller pegged it suddenly. Had they not got lucky and found a new owner as fast as they did they would have been the first really big...

    Bury gone

    Agree entirely with @oldskyblue58 Fans have forgotten and/or been conditioned to believe that you can't enjoy football outside of the premier League.

    Believe so. Contracts will become void as the club is in breach

    Bury gone

    Because HMRC know that football as a whole is a house of cards and if clubs didn't pay off their transfer fees to other clubs then the whole thing would collapse

    Allassani

    I suppose he hasn't really cost us a lot so if we had decided he wasn't going to make it, wouldn't we have just released him in the summer? Perhaps he will come back into the fold after this loan.

    Even if he can't cut it in league one I would have thought he could do better than Dulwich.

    I was convinced we were going to lose this one so well happy with the win and still unbeaten.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    Weather looks good, Gillingham not bringing a big crowd, we are full of confidence following the Pompey game and we have a potentially exciting new signing to make his debut. It's all stacked in our favour......... Got scrappy 1-0 defeat written all over it..........

    Christmas is saved!

    It's great that they have a lifeline but this same cycle of boom and bust can't continue. I hope this will be a wake up call for the league.

    Hard to say as we've no idea how fit O'Hare is or whether Jobello is injured or not.

    Players have to start somewhere. How would anyone ever get any experience if they weren't called from the reserves into first team action? In recent times you've had Bayliss, Shipley, Hyam and McCallum all making the step from youth and reserve football to the first team plus Williams and...

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    Surprised me that MR is only the 21st longest serving manager across the leagues currently. Feels like he has been here a long time, longer than 2 years anyway.

    I don't think Dowie ever got out of the mindset of being a player. He was always ridiculously over-the-top elated when we won and went in a massive sulk when we lost. Not saying it was a bad thing but it was atypical for a standard league manager. Never forget that cup game against Blackburn in...

    our 1-11

    Wouldn't really call being on the bench for a league one side week in, week out a bit part, especially at his age. He's an established member of the first team and Fadz/Rose won't play every game. I think he'll be pretty realistic about his chances and i have faith that MR can manage the squad...
