I’ve got reasonable knowledge of corporate law and finance. I’m no absolute expert (this is unprecedented stuff) and have never come across scenarios whereby Bondholders and Trustees have contentious security over a lease of a potential community asset with a group In administration. To imply...

Little known player fact: Gyok’s first club IF Brommapojkarna has a hall of fame. The legend that is Thomas Gustaffson (Antonoleous or something he changed it to) has made his way on to it.

Good question and see why you’ve asked. Let’s say “if the same entity was to own the club and stadium and it was legally linked so no funny business with rent and the golden share was in the same entity as lease”

Wilson 8 Great save to stop a certain goal, kept a cool head when he came to stop that run to his wide left and didn’t dive in. Good game management and discipline. Improving all the time. Eccles 7 He’s still young but a great prospect. Got caught out a couple of times and panicked a couple...

It’s going to be silly season on here for a few weeks with no Cov games. There is talk of £30m for Viktor which seems quite bonkers but stranger things have happened. 27 scouts the other day someone said, obviously not all Prem, the £25m plus the Germans spent on Bellingham worth noting. I’m...

Gruff, Excellent stuff. No other team I know has their very own devoted song-reviewer. Your reach is further than you think; as you’d say to your pupils: believe.

I think that Robins saying “priceless” and Fadz £30m Gyok is telling. What will SISU claim squad value is (I repeat what will SISU claim - not what we think it is?) £50m? You know what I think SISU want for the club.

To be fair to SISU they have at least had the good sense to send Robins and the players away to Spain whilst all this might go on. Ok, not huge expense but at least some.

Well at least it’s some type of assurance. Interesting about exclusivity

I can see why people would see that there might be an underhand property developer angle with the area around the arena but we have to ask the question: Is Mike Ashley more interested in making a few million from property or is he a person that likes to be involved with sport? I can’t help...

I wouldn’t mind if we went up for a year, didn’t splash the cash, used the £100m or whatever it is to sort a stadium and the best academy and training set up that could be created and then just sat and waited. Why wait? At some point the overspend lunacy of all of the other clubs is going to...

I don’t think they are somehow. If Ashley ends up with the Arena, he will look at the endeavour from a commercial viewpoint and, unfortunately, the added advertising and merchandising aspect will come into play. That Richardson is still involved and the seemingly duplicitous noises coming...

I caught that staff bit. Long guess: Dennis Lawrence to Wigan as asst Manager or something (he coached there for years) Scary thought: Ady as Mgr? No intel no rumour just worried that one day Ady is going to manage somewhere - to me he’s the Taylor to Robins Clough. We’d be lost without.

Started to feel a bit sorry for the players and netball fans who probably live in Cov and have lost their level of sport. Not their fault. The P share or golden share or whatever for the netball surely could have been sorted for not a lot. Joy / Mike - you’ve dropped the ball there (pun...

To be fair, out of him and Dann I rated Fox higher and was surprised that we got more for Dann. Fox seemed to have more dimensions; free kicks, crosses, Dann just a Champ level clogger. Shows what I know.

Didn’t he end up playing for Scotland? If so. Yes rubbish.

And now you’ve called me out, I’ve always liked the idea of someone either freakish quick or freakish huge on the bench to just mix it up and get opponents trying to second / third guess / prepare for chaos. Thought Onandi Lowe should have stayed. Huge drug dealer yardie on the bench. Ok then...

As a kid used to regularly watch more reserve games than first team (not enough pocket money - don’t all “ahh, bless” at once) Franz Carr. Thought he’d be the next John Barnes. Fizzled out. Dougie McGuire and Keith Thompson for us. Thought they’d be stars. Fizzled out. Currently: That...

There’s such a huge leap from u21s football to the Championship it’s sometimes difficult for academy graduates to get a manager willing to give them a break in the first team. Reading books and listening to podcasts of old pros like Hutch / Houch / Benno they seem to all lament the days of the...

On the subject of academy graduates, what’s happened to Jordan Willis? 28 and without a club. Has he got a career ending injury? I always thought he’d be a good back up - particularly when at times we’ve had to play Dabo / Bidwell back 3
