    Apparently Gilbert had seen documentary evidence else I’d have agreed with you 100%. Whether it was credible or fact checked (he said it was?) is a different story. Maybe Gilbert will shed some light if pressed?

    Keep your 50p. The police service is a joke nowadays unless you are a motorist and company issues are very rarely on their remit HMRC might have a nibble but even that is unlikely. Maybe the administrator will report the directors but it depends on if They (administrators) have been “tamed”...

    Back on point: It is looking more and more like William Storey sidetracked SISU and the result is that CCFC missed any chance of owning the Arena. SISU only have themselves to blame, a bit of due diligence or even just picking up the phone to Haas would have been sensible.

    I agree, given the level of debt, how could they have ever dreamed that they’d be able to turn things around? It looks like they’d been losing millions every year and had no plan to cut cost / realistically refinance. Even if they had got HSBC to refinance the bond scheme there seemed no way of...

    I agree. I’m sure Jamie Allen is a great lad with excellent table manners and all that but a leader he is not. With Fadz out and Kelly not ready we have no one to organise the defence and defensive midfield. (Ducking for cover) Would Moore be a more experienced and vocal and calming presence?

    The game v Wasps at the Butts next year might be worth going to. Record crowd? Temporary stands?

    You can kind of see the logic in bringing O’Hare off to keep him fresh but it didn’t work out. Another pace player like Tavares would have kept Swansea on their toes and put the risk of a breakaway goal on their minds. Hindsight and all that I watched the game in Belgium and thought it game...

    She’s fine - still caught COVID though even though vaccinated, as did I. She is now of the opinion that it was the right move to wait and see. Kids can have normal vaccines eg MMR etc - no issue. There’s enough evidence to shown more good than harm. Covid vaccine which has been quickly rolled...

    I agree with a lot of this. FWIW I had three jabs. The pressure at the time was such that one felt that it was necessary just to crack on with life / travel. I figured that since I’ve been getting the yearly flu jab for years (when you have young kids that fetch every cough and sniffle back...

    I’m worried that you are spot on. Why else stay local?

    “Close to being announced” is still not closure. There’s always the angle of “Mike, we have options, we need a better deal”. Is MA one for squeezing every penny out of his properties? And it’s the Daily Telegraph - rugger bugger types, a bit of helping negotiations via media isn’t beyond...

    Is that because Martin Reeves is going to Oxford Council as chief executive? Coincidence or related?

    When King first appeared out of nowhere then many, understandably, pointed to the SISU connections. Fast forward to now, he’s sat with Fisher and Boddy at the last match - so clearly more than a one day wonder. King’s business portfolio, which centres around energy, is clearly doing rather...

    I think King’s portfolios have performed better and have some headroom due to oil and gas (I think I read somewhere he did well with some oil hedge funds?) Edit...

    You can see why Joy was taken in. He’s obviously name dropped some serious individuals and has created his “Rich Energy” brand via notoriety almost. His logo was a straight copy and therefore the logo / branding didn’t cost too much. The Hoffman link seems to be: Storey: “If I buy the club...

    Lots of repeated strap lines. MR great Invest Plan for future But can’t cover off why he’s suing when deadline passed. Sounds like he’s a brand man who has talked people into investing with others. Started off pretending he had backers until some joined on and the lie became partially true...

    He’s small but not quick or particularly nimble or tricky. Good L1 player at best.

    The team looked like it lacked leadership. Allen captain? Gus might have been a better bet - Vik maybe? Not many natural leaders on the pitch. Most of the players played ok, Back 3 ok on the whole. Sheaf had a crack or two from the edge of the box which was good. I’ve often complained that he...
