This does seem like brinkmanship by the 'new' owners, and slightly dubious. The fact they have done this the day after hitting 50 points, which is commonly deemed as the safety mark in a 46 game season, makes it look a tactical move more than anything. They are not going to get relegated as...

You read it wrong. Its the other way round!

It would be better for us if they stay up and get the points deduction next season, but I'm pretty sure it will apply to this season. My understanding is that the admin penalty rules only applies and carries forward to the next season when a club goes into Administration already knowing the...

I frequented GMK from about 2001 I think - can't remember the name I used on it now though! It was run by a guy called Neville who then handed it onto Smiler and finally Knowl. To start with it was full of trolls and piss takers like Bob Bones, but there was an awful lot of wit to be found -...

There is a thread on page 2 of that GMK link entitled FernandoPartridge is a titty boy which you might appreciate :) You don't participate in it, but FM's humour shines through!

Based on yesterday's game Morton looked a fantastic prospect and I wouldn't be averse to trying to bring him in. Am sure one of MR's priorities is to bring in a forward who can challenge or play with Godden, although I suspect he might look for someone with a little more experience. Agreed that...

Wow - very sad news

I really think this is overplayed. The Ricoh is 3 miles from the City Centre, which is hardly the ends of the earth. I know its not HR, and I get that circumstance has meant that the place has never really felt like our own, but the distance argument always seemed like a convenient excuse for...

Despite their occasional bluster on this matter I have still yet to see any evidence that SISU have the slightest intention of building a new stadium, so as far as playing in Cov is concerned it's the Ricoh or nothing. After all it must be 7 or 8 years now since we were first told of their...

ffs can you read? No he was that bad, he stood out above the others. I suggest you take a look above at the Sunderland fans views of him. I wonder how many times they've seen him play!!

While I accept it's wise to take such views with a pinch of salt some of the Sunderland views on him are interesting. The common theme about his poor distribution makes me find it hard to see him being a MR type player: 'Let him go, he's shite.' 'Please. Take him. Shocking defender.' 'He's...

The Sunderland games this season and last .... what about you? I normally pay no attention to the opposition we play unless they are notably good or bad. As soon as this link came out I knew who he was though, and it wasn't because he was the new Franco Baresi!!

Aren't Leicester's rugby and football grounds, similarly close?

You have no idea if he is a better option than Pask, Drysdale or even Williams. He has more experience for sure, but that's it. Unless he is being brought in as a starter what's the point of wasting what is likely to be a tight budget on signing him. Young players with promise have to get their...

This signing makes no sense at all. We already have Rose, Hyam, McFadzean, Pask, Drysdale and Williams so central defence is unlikely to be a priority for strengthening. He is not a ball playing defender so doesn't fit into the mould of our team, and hasn't exactly shone in games against us in...

Villa would be stupid not to offer O'Hare a contract, even if they don't want him, otherwise they can't claim a compensation fee for him. The Villa fans I know all believe he has been offered a contract!

He looks more of a defender without the girly long hair!

That depends whether you're looking short term or long term. If Villa or West Ham will be tougher games for us they will be for the rest of the league too. Whichever teams come down they have such a huge advantage with parachute payments that they will all be favoured to go straight back up...

It has to be the 'legacies forged' one for me as it focuses on all our managers that have won us trophy's. The others that are solely MR focused could look a little silly if MR should leave us, certainly more so than the one which also includes JH/ Sillett & Curtis, which would still have some...

They always cared more than they made out. Granted, given that we haven't played them for 20 years, their younger generations won't get it, but the older ones I know seem to have a very good memory of Cov Villa games from the past, which contradicts the disinterest in us they always claim.
