All hail the Football Association, who has aided the existence of this great two tier financial system. All hail the clubs who aided this happening, including our own.

Most clubs who go through a period of effectively downsizing would be 'in a mess' at the end of the it. It's quite helpful really as it left Mowbray with a reasonably clean slate for this season.

Why are so many on here obsessed with criticising Pressley, he was unfortunate to be in charge during the worst period in the club's history. He's very gracious about it and I hope he gets a good reception on Saturday.

Sounds decent apart from the mayo

I know, but Charlie was comparing the situation to CCFC's.

Why don't you look into the arrangements on that one?

What's your point? Do Swansea pay rent to Ospreys to use the stadium on matchdays only?

It's a completely different model though, neither of those clubs own the ground.

I think they've moved the away end to the Chadderton End of the ground now, which is a smaller stand. They struggle to get over 4k home gates, so I am sure they can find space elsewhere to put additional away fans, probably in the new side stand.

All part of the bribes councils effectively offer to retail developers. We'll guarantee you x income over a period etc.

Apples with pears again from Simon. One is a library, open 7 days per week for the whole year. The other is a football stadium, rented for a few hours on 23 days minimum a season, up to a maximum of what? 35 days?

Did Zebbalos not play? I remember the Peruvian left back played for us, it was a heavy defeat at Anfield on a Sunday. Ah, it was Guerrero.

It'll be tight. I thought Fleetwood were OK when we played up there. I reckon 2-1 City.

Developing players is self sustaining

What do we do then? Use all of the money on bringing lots of players in, or use it on getting better quality players, even on loan deals?

The club doesn't make much money so has to rely on producing and selling on young players to survive, just like the majority of clubs at our level. What's so difficult to understand.

Yes it was, but it's a new man in charge now. Like he's said, what's done is done. This is the now. The club is trying to rebuild its reputation, it's only talked down by so-called fans rather than the population at large.

John Gayle gets my vote, how he ever made it as a footballer is beyond me.

Sorry, that's nonsense. There is no spin, he's told a few truths. I don't know enough about JM deal to know whether it was a good one. Regardless, he'd be off in the summer so perhaps it's irrelevant. The fact he's openly considering the merits of a new stadium vs a deal at the Ricoh is...

It's all been downhill since Ali G's early days, where SBC was quite funny interviewing politicians etc as a short slot on the 11 O'Clock Show
