3rd Brighton player tests positive. I get the “in the past Middlesbrough...flu”, just like any other injury; but when you get entire squads having to self isolate it goes back to my OP: It’ll be difficult to see a Premier League restart, let alone EFL

SISU might think it time to sell up. Champ clubs with potential are the ones which tend to get bought up, L1/2 not so much. I think the Government will be looking to support infrastructure / construction projects to get the economy moving again and building a new stadium becomes a little...

I’ve been putting my legal hat on and thinking through what might prevent the EFL from restarting. I think it’s a given that all players and refs etc will need to be tested prior to restart or even training. It’s quite likely that some positive results may come up and, those players will...

I was struggling to hear what he was saying so I switched on subtitles and got this:- (do yourself if you don’t believe me)

You watch, the only safe place to play for a few months will be China. I can see many clubs shipping players off there on loan to get match practice for a bit

The one theme is how much all of the players preferred HR to the Ricoh (due to the shape and atmosphere) I genuinely think that, post the Covid crisis (with construction, finance, and labour costs cheaper and the desire for “getting the economy going” higher impacting planning decisions) the...

Ellery Cairo

Lee Mills, the only player to have a car park named after him.

Dougie McGuire (although he was brilliant for the reserves) Keith Thompson. Ditto.

If that’s the game that they won 6-1 at HR then it was a player called Ronny Rosenthal that totally tore us apart.

Big Breakfast. close the thread

Picking 3 out of that lot: Emerson Lowe McGuire

Realist choices (ie those that would have joined a 3rd tier club at that point of their career, say aged 25 for the sake of argument - Dublin, Huckerby, Speedie etc. would not). Ignoring career injuries Arphexad in goal Billing, Réda J, Willis, Tony Dobson - defence Dean Emerson, Claus...

I used to watch McGuire in the reserves and he was simply brilliant. I remember one match against Liverpool reserves containing the likes of Steve Nicol, MacNanaman (sp?), Jan Molby, and others (Liverpool reserved at the time could have played most first division teams off the park) and him...

He’s a crisp finisher by all accounts

Top this: McIndoe. Cost a biggish fee at the time. Flopped. Ripped off his team mates (allegedly)

Zuniga - I thought was quite good. Lowe. 1 game. 1 goal. Not bad. Previous record was 1:2 for a poor team in our division. Could play as defender as well. Got charged with something, got off (rightly or wrongly). Innocent until guilty (in this case found not guilty). Mistake to let him...

I think that a hedge fund (SISU) is more likely to invest in a tangible asset (stadium) with almost guaranteed revenue streams (rent, naming rights, concessions) than players. If they can get some grant relief, R&D relief, enable multi-sports, etc. Then they can put it on their balance sheet...
