Well, well. The plot thickens.

I hope the middle square is a free choice square because you clearly forgot "SISU rent boy" :claping hands:

Haven't you heard? Being 60m in debt and languishing in mid table in the third division of English football is the new benchmark of successful club ownership.

I'm getting a Runtime Error when I try to load it. Sums up the club at the moment, really.

It's being hosted in a server in a wheelbarrow outside of Tesco's.

Was Stuart Linnell wasn't it? Explains why he wasn't pressed further.

Or complicit. But that's the most unlikely scenario. In this post-Enron world I can't imagine any accounting firm doing anything overly dodgy.

I would have thought the director of a company publically stating, "The accounts aren't quite true," would attract some sort of sanction? Especially, you know, since directors are required to sign off on accounts and state they are true and correct? Fecking Fisher...

Scant consolation, I'm sure, but if it does happen, know that most of us wish it hadn't.

If it was the Hawks, then you saw Hawthorn. Melbourne are the Demons. As a Hawthorn fan, being called the Melbourne Hawks has certain angry historical connotations! :)

Sure is. In the city being the operative words. And can we please get someone who has demonstrated a modicum of fucking competence to oversee it, because right now I wouldn't put Fisher in charge of moving my couch from one side of the lounge to the other, let alone the construction of a new...

I wouldn't say I don't care, it relates to the future of the club, but I certainly don't believe anything anyone says anymore, least of all Fisher. Also, I think we'd all prefer to be talking about which overrated crap players Pressley was bringing in for the upcoming season :D

It's not that exciting anymore. Constant rule changes have put paid to the physicality of the sport. I used to like it, but I find it unwatchable now.

No, there isn't an Australian supporters club. Though I was once named and quoted in an article written back in 1999 as being a co-founder of a new Australian Supporters Club. Which was news to me, I was nineteen, at university, time poor and had absolutely no intention of founding a...

Did it help cure your insomnia? :D

I'd support my local teams here in Oz, but English league football would be dead to me.

That would be rather difficult, given that at this stage there still aren't any season tickets to buy ;)

You're naive if you think this is about access to revenue.

A month or so ago, I probably would have been against this, because it will hurt the football club before it hurts the owners. Now though? I'm all for it (though unlike others on here, I refuse to judge others who disagree). Simply because I can't see how it's going to be any more or less...

They might want to start by tightening up the procedures around ownership and transfer of the share, so that something like this can't happen again. Maybe you're right, maybe they already are, who knows?
