    Ball 13 in F.A cup

    Could also be the type of game a NL defender with a point to prove does Vic an injury

    Type of game for Moore / Kane / Walker maybe but not loads of kids.

    I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that FFP doesn’t apply in the NL and teams like Wrexham can outspend L1/2 clubs. Your point about Mullin stacks up. Bangs 30 odd goals in L2 for Cambridge who then get promoted to L1. Drops to non-league at aged 26 rather than play L1. That’s not normal. Not an...

    Just a question on this:- If the Times article is dated August 2 Hedge fund puts Coventry City football club in play The hedge fund owner of Coventry City FC is open to offers from a buyer with the clout to capitalise on financial difficulties at Wasps, the rugby team that o...

    Wasps signs have actually gone!!

    I’m sure they could theoretically let their investors down, but as you correctly state they would be damaging their own reputation. This would have a knock on effect throughout their book if investors started shying away. It looks to me that they’ve almost led investors down a path where they...

    Hey @richnrg careful that Storey doesn’t try to sue you for having that username. (Satire)

    It did sound like the Rugby Prem bods had left the door open: Something like “relegated unless they can prove exceptional circumstances such as COVID”. Surely they’ll appeal and try to get the P Share income. That said, signs down, little more optimistic that they won’t be back at CBS, was...

    I think the point is if you want to sell your house, have a mortgage for £500k “ spent the intervening years doing virtually no upkeep on it and smashed a whole through the roof that I'm currently covering up with polythene and gaffer tape.” and it’s worth £250k. You can’t afford to sell it...

    And that there is the problem. Recent MP led inquiry into how Rugby has got into such a mess might lead to how “community asset” sports businesses are run. Better governance required.

    I stuck up for Joy recently but this again shows a lack of judgement on her behalf. Signing something with someone with a history (that could only take 10 mins to check) of playing silly buggers and breaking deals, with no apparent wealth on paper (lunatics with no money don’t care if they are...

    I’d like to know if Storey would pass fit and proper test. Several liquidated companies and numerous late filings. Ok, not a disqualified director but the EFL need to raise the bar.

    A few of us were bemused why SISU had gone quiet. Makes some sense if they were bound by NDAs etc. More potential legal battles and a missed opportunity to get the stadium. Life as a CCFC fan is never boring.

    Storey, backed by Steve (Goodman / Dudman- hard to hear) and Mills had agreed heads of terms with SISU. Exclusively deal until about 10 days before King deal. King on record has said “negotiating for a couple of weeks” Storey lodging complaint with EFL to try to stop King deal. I think that’s...

    Gilbert said £30m plus millions more on promotion to premier league. I won’t comment on that bit. The exclusivity period and Storey might have halted MA talking to SISU.
