Is that you logged in as you ? Your Mrs logged in as you ? Your opinion ? Your Mrs' opinion but using your username ? If you really want to know my wife has fallen for Alan Pace’s charm/spin and naively thinks we will be challenging Man City in a couple of years. I am more sceptical and think it wi...

we all have thoughts and opinions, sometimes they change day to day, however one thing I would remind you is that MDS put money into Sunderland and Derby as well as Southampton and Burnley. ALK at first wanted to take over Sheffield, a championship club and statement from ALK said they believe the ...

I'm not sure anyone is actually saying that, what they are saying is that a group of astute businessmen believe there there is more than enough untapped millions plus other forms of generating revenue out there beyond the loan interest and paying it off. Not only are they saying it and believing it...

So far I think everything has gone absolutely to plan and we are on track moving towards summer, where during the next seven months more will be revealed as the club push the new strategy. The only big risk at this moment is relegation and even that would not stop the strategy, it just means you ha...

Yes, I think if you're not too familiar with the rules it's easy to miss the point that you can't just do whatever you want with the club's money, even if you do own it. If the £50m had been an overdraft ALK would have been responsible for that in the same way they are responsible for the £50m in c...

So they paid MG £170m and then paid him another £50m? No they paid MG and other major shareholders £170m for which they got loans for £120m and used the Clubs cash funds of £50m. The Club now has no funds and a debt of £120,00 on which the annual interest will be approx £10m But it what all those c...

I don't think it's nitpicking at all. Pre sale Garlick and co owned an asset valued at £170m (say). The question is what is it worth now ALK own it? Either MG and co have taken the £50m and ALK have acquired an asset worth £120m or ALK have effectively paid £120m for a £170m asset. Has there been a...

Was surprised to see Hasslebank commentating at Stamford Bridge when Burton Albion’s forthcoming game this week has been cancelled. Surely he will have been in contact with players/staff and should be self isolating after being contacted by Track and Trace. Football has again taken the **** out of t...

Is that a problem with Sean Dyche, or the general thickness of a society and media establishments that loves to over react and create drama where there is little? I know where my money would be staked. Just another example that football has lost the plot, money seems to be everything. SD’s view tha...

ALK only put in 15m, 80m loan to buy us.

https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/statu ... 02656?s=19

It was always known they were using the clubs own money and future revenue to obtain loans to buy the club aka the Man Utd model used by the Glaziers

paulatky

Football really has lost the plot.

paulatky

Unfortunately, I have to agree it would be difficult to implement now and I suspect nothing will change. However, the problem with the current situation is that you are dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t. If you have a deterrent then clubs may underreport genuine positive cases in order to en...

The PL have hit the post on this. Rugby League said if you can't play the game, you lose 22-0. Maybe if the PL had said something similar, clubs would have been more vigilant on player movements.

If we were awarded the game against Fulham 22-0 that would make our goal difference positive !!

Reports that 4 Tottenham players broke Yrules by attending a party on NYE.

Some of them are obviously taking the proverbial ****.

The country is heading into a disaster of its own making and PL players think the rules dont apply to them.

That’s nothing new that was always going to happen in the same way we are guaranteed daylight after nighttime, the whole population was never going to abide by all the government rules, by & large I don’t think we’ve done so bad at this point, I’ll still stand by my earlier claim that until we all ...

Massive Revelations about PL players Exmas party at which Fulham players caught covid doing the rounds

paulatky

A statement, alledgedly by former PL referee Mark Halsey, says PL is rife with spot fixing by referees and that they are biased to certain clubs.
Seems relevant after yesterday’s game and SD’s comment that referees have been told to give more penalties

If he wins his game in hand OGS will have them joint third 2 points behind the leaders. Dyche can in no way succeed at a big club.

They might not win the game in hand.

paulatky

You've lost me there. I never suggested breaking the rules, what I did suggest is planning ahead. We can't say somebody is going to be alone for Christmas, before we know the rules. It's very very likely, that we can all meet up with close family. But many people will still think its not worth the ...

There should be help for landlords.
Cant evict tenants now for 6 months.
When courts start sitting again they will start on those tenants who are at least 12 months behind with their rent.
Its not the government thats supporting the rental market its landlords.

When in tier 3, restaurants can stay open but can’t serve alcohol. So that wouldn’t be possible. However, we are in tier 2 so pubs can remain open. However, as you can’t mix with people outside your household in an indoor setting. I am guessing most pubs will be extremely quiet! In tier 3 pubs that...

2 years tracker with no fee. Interests rates could go negative, can't see them moving much upwards anytime soon, I'd avoid fixing at present, especially if there's a fee to boot. Just my opinion. When the fixed rate comes to an end soon the underlying rate will probably rise to maybe 4%. Mortgage r...

With such a relatively small mortgage a product with no fee will almost always be the most cost effective.

Only if anybody is bothering to check and enforce it.

Therein lies a big problem. Many pubs have been ignoring it.

So in tier 2. Pubs are open, but I am guessing that because households can only mix outdoors, pubs without beer gardens(with umbrellas and heaters!) will be empty? I am guessing landlords it would have been better to be tier 3? At least if forced to close they could get furlough payments for staff ...

I think the current situation has shown the importance of having a balanced range of hobbies and interests. If all your eggs are in one basket that can cause problems in all walks of life. If a company has just one main product that company is at more risk than the company with 10 equally selling ma...

If its a similar deal to how the Glaziers acquired Manu I hope this falls through and they move onto other targets

Reports from Wales that a county is now in local lockdown after a cluster of cases linked to a club trip by coach to Doncaster races last week. The coach stopped at a number of pubs both on the way there and the way back. We really do seem to be shooting ourselves in the foot. I fear it will be a lo...

Barring miracles, we won't be in Europe next year, but I think the squad want to beat that 54 point target. Apart from Taylor, I think we'll have our strongest team out in both remaining games.

So Ben Mee not in our strongest team in your opinion

That''s the word, we've waited 10 months for justice, and tonight it finally arrived, those 2 points could deprive Wolves of European football next season, especially with Spurs winning tonight. Just need Liverpool to win at the Emirates now, and we'll stay above Arsenal for at least a few days. Bu...

I wouldn't keep looking because the payments aren't, from what I know, imminent.

If thats the case its very poor on the part of the club.

Surely by now they should have an appreciation of the work required and a reasonable time scale, and that timescale should be communicated.
