    Bury gone

    Player contracts would likely terminate (we are also talking about players who haven’t been paid for months so could terminate anyway). Stadium. Depends on its value for alternative use. As we’ve found there are other short term options if the owner didn’t want to sell....and they might well be...

    Bury gone

    Dodgy was a flippant word. Basically what the fit and proper person check should weed out (have insufficient funds to effectively run the club, not have a history of insolvencies etc etc). Unfortunately as things stand, once they have ‘passed’ the fit and proper test the EFL can’t do anything ...

    Bury gone

    Only talking about the golden share (ability to compete in a competition). Which I honestly think should be able to be removed from dodgy owners. Even the threat of the EFL having the ability to do this may dissuade certain people getting involved in the first place. Not saying it’s an ideal...

    Bury gone

    I think they already have differing laws. The football creditor rule being one ie football creditors to be given preference over non football creditors in a CVA/administration ie football creditors need to be repaid in full.

    Bury gone

    You know as well as I do it’s different Grendel. Owners might treat football clubs as businesses but we (fans) all know they are more than that. Also going into administration and being docked points is one thing (ie business collapsing)....being chucked out the league is another. By all...

    Bury gone

    I’d rather that than the current situation. I’m not talking about new owners having the ability to take the clubs to alternative locations (not that it stops some current owners !) My idea is full of holes/loopholes that would need sorting but the alternative, as we are currently seeing, is...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Did he actually say that Tony ? (Pre referendum) I have to say though he’s pissing me off. Does he want Brexit or not ?! He doesn’t appear to accept the fact that people in a sense voted for various forms of Brexit or that the country is approximately 50/50 even now. Therefore there should be...

    Bury gone

    The problem is in all of these scenarios it’s the fans that pay the price. The EFL needs to have a mechanism where the ‘golden share’ is removed from owners if they aren’t meeting certain criteria or go into administration ie the owners are just custodians if it. The EFL then runs the process...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not sure this lower standard foodstuffs is quite right SBD. My view is if it’s safe for the consumer it should be their call. Ill use the well used example of chlorinated chicken. If it is available and clearly marked by supermarkets but is cheaper, why shouldn’t someone on a lower budget be...

    Probably safer going for Denly opening and move Roy down.

    England cricket 2019

    What if Labuschagne hadn’t had about ten lives on Friday night and Saturday morning (from memory dropped at least four times and stokes also would’ve had him out but it was a no ball) One of those and/or one decent partnership in the first innings would’ve seen us over the line a lot easier...

    England cricket 2019

    100% agree. To do it once in the most high pressured of circumstances was unbelievable, twice, you’re right, truly outrageous !

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    Great first half (should’ve been a couple up really). Poor second half after Evans changed the way the set up. Another three points though and some very good showings to date. Rose (a couple of long misplaced passes aside second half aside) continues to look a quality signing, Mason and Shipley...

    Matty godden

    Agreed. Makes good runs, works hard, hassles defenders, decent in the air and looking at his record can finish ! I have to be honest, I was a bit unsure when we signed him as he’s probably a year or two older than we’d usually go for but looks like he could become a bit of a cult hero

    Fankaty Dabo v Dujon sterling

    Both quality. Really pleased with Dabo. Probably bit more streetwise than Sterling (and reckon he’s got a nastier streak)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree with A, however, we have perceived controls over non EU immigration ie can decide if we need the skills etc (I’m not sure we’ll ever control our borders though let’s be honest !!!). B is accurate(ish). There are certain controls that we chose not to enforce however realistically are/were...

    Can't sleep

    As has been mentioned already try meditation (I tried mindfulness - there’s something called body scan which you can find online, if not PM me). Also CBD oil might be worth considering (obviously consider any risks, consult doc etc etc) Would avoid taking sleeping tablets regularly

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I agree with this Mart. The transition period is more important than a lot of people think (for those wider considerations ie rolling over trade agreements, starting negotiations (but not signing) trade agreements etc. It also means we can hedge our bets a bit. If trade talks with US, Canada etc...
