Why would that make a difference? League place is irrelevant. Why would it be a factor in the EFL approving a club takeover? Are there different rules for a takeover in league 2 from a takeover in the championship? I seriously doubt it. If anything their takeover was more complicated, as already...

The evidence is what I see with my own eyes. In fact it’s what we all see. I’m only talking about things that are publicly known and confirmed by the club. Such as the EFL coming back for more info. The timeline of the Gillingham takeover compared to ours. No rumours from Dave’s mates dogs dad...

Doubtful though. The King takeover was announced on the 16th of November, not yet complete. Gillingham takeover was announced on the 30th of November, completed the 23rd of December. The Gillingham takeover wasn’t exactly simple either as the ground was used as security for investment. We...

When Pete? It’s already taking longer to complete than another takeover that was announced over a week after ours but completed before Xmas. If that’s a yard stick to judge how long it takes to complete the takeover of a football club it points to issues with the King takeover. Proof of funds is...

Hope not regarding Robins. It’s my birthday on the 21st and Robins sitting in the opposite dugout isn’t part of my birthday celebrations.

Wasn’t Bob Marley once on a British government watchlist because he dared sing about the activities of British imperialism while also singing about forgiveness and bringing people together? Or was that just an urban myth? I guess the real point I’m making is that inevitably these watch lists...

It harks back to the good old days when racists would wear the term as a badge of honour. They’ve gone all snowflake these days and you’re not allowed to call them racists anymore in case you hurt their feelings.

It will be people like that. Ricky Tomlinson was once on a watch list for being a union representative and organising strikes, even went to jail on what he always believed were jumped up charges relating to his “activists” activities. Based on that and in the current climate I wouldn’t be...

All the classics already mentioned (excluding Mrs Browns Boys, which is comedy for people who have given up on thinking). Of the more recent British comedies to hit the TV I really like Ghosts and the Xmas specials haven’t disappointed.

Was reading that earlier. They only agreed and announced the final details of the deal on the 30th of November and it’s been completed today, assume that includes EFL approval. Our takeover was announced on the 16th and still not completed, for comparison.

Always felt to me that the King “deal” is about trying to frame the selling price of the club. This guy is willing to clear the debt for a majority share in the club so that’s the value if anyone else wants to buy it. I’ll believe the King deal is legit if and when the EFL ratify it. Until then...

I’d rather we’re selling arms to Ukraine than Saudi Arabia.

Shitloads.

Currently listening to the Piccadilly Radio recording that Timmy Mallet has put out from his time as a DJ there. Basically handed 2 hours over to Terry to play his favourite songs and present them. Needed something to listen to while sorting out a full big ikea bag of washed socks into pairs...

Seems to be a popular opinion on the right, especially the far right. That and it’s the EU’s/NATO’s fault. Which is especially odd given it would be Ukraine’s sovereign right as an independent and democratic country to join any organisation they like. Funny how all of a sudden sovereignty...

We’re over 46000 nurses short. This ain’t the sticky plaster you think it is.

Worth reading the whole thread If history is anything to go by Sunak is on a hiding to nowhere with his and his government’s stance.

I see Gullis is spreading his pearls of wisdom again. Claiming that the clergy shouldn’t preach from the pulpit. Scary that this guy used to be a teacher. The best thing that ever happened to the education system is this guy becoming an MP, it keeps him away from kids.
