I am addicted to American Pickers...for the uninitiated where two guys drive round looking for memorabilia, antiques, cars, bikes etc and rummage through old farms and barns.
The last one I saw was at the Air Museum in Oshkosh.
Wow that was some place.

Dipped into an advance copy. You will not be disappoointed. Tim looks at all the key points and moments through the featured decades.

Claret re the Elder signed book... priceless...

Rodleydave

What emerged was that our 'reserves' just aren't good enough. It was appalling and the only consolation was being spared the 40 miles each way from Leeds. We have a very small number of top quality players carrying the average rest. If all of them are at the top of their game we can grind out result...

5 add 6 add 14 = 25
25 minus 1 = 24
So next one is 6 + 14+ 24 minus 1 =

Whether that is the bang on right way I have no idea but I used to be intelligent. Now I'm not so sure.

How do you make a turkey move...stick a fork in it...

Where does money come into it?

Rodleydave

There are clearly a handful of guys on this thread that know their way round the way finances are set up. Fascinating and educational to read their stuff. When Pace refers to the Athletic article being untrue, my guess is he is referring to the actual figures. The mechanics of the deal and where the...

The Paul Weller book has more stories per square inch than most other football book I have read... and some of them absolute crackers.

It was the Telegraph yesterday that reported that MG would make £85million (over time). He has made some serious money...but £85million? I'm wondering if ALK borrowed the money is it now the club debt or ALK? How much did they borrow? How and when does it have to paid back? Who services the loan? Ho...

The Lenny Johnrose book by the way is outstanding.

Rodleydave

Cleggy don't forget I educated Dean West... bright lad. And best wishes to you as well.

Rodleydave

er I have a garage full of unsold titles... some of them prop up the car and others a wobbly chest of drawers...

The new board... Alan Pace, Mike Garlick, John B...
Do Pace's associates Mike Smith and Stuart Hunt also join the board?

Rodleydave

Dave Thomas does indeed still post on here I think, he has just finished one book and has just started one about the John Bond period. But yes indeed a Clive book if he spilled a few beans and uncovered all the skeletons would be very illuminating.

Rodleydave

Clive too...big loss... he knows where every skeleton is buried at the club... and it was he that oversaw the building of the two new stands and questioned every penny that the contractors overcharged.

Rodleydave

A big memory for me... sitting int chairman's room eating a fish and chip lunch with BK and Tony discussing the relative merits of the Bread Bin Stand or the Football University when they were at ideas stage. My two penn'worth was to say I wouldn't risk money on the Football University... so that sh...

Rodleydave

ah didn't realise they had sold ALL their shares.

Rodleydave

Just wondering why 5 directors have immediately resigned.
And if ALK have used borrowed money who pays the interest?

Rodleydave

Some non stop horrendous rain in Leeds last 48hours. Must have been like playing on porridge.

Rodleydave

Best wishes and happy reading.

I have a bell that I ring for dinner.

Rodleydave

3-4 with 3 slick Leeds goals from one-touch foot all at pace.
4 Burnley goals from set pieces/corners to which Leeds have no answer.
Barnes and Wood two apiece.

Rodleydave

Or his assistant the one who wore a Man U cap and limped

Rodleydave

Hilarious... how about Martin Buchan

Rodleydave

The Lenny Johnrose book... outstanding.

Rodleydave

Best game of season for Dwight. His nose clearly pointing in the right direction.

Rodleydave

Nice sentiments. Where in Leeds are you FF

Rodleydave

utter dross.

Rodleydave

er just be careful please...

Rodleydave

Your memory is good. He was near unplayable that day.

Rodleydave

Excellent surely all setup for another series with lots of plotlines to continue.

Rodleydave

Man City aren't always gonna beat us. One day...who knows... just like we got a point at Liverpool last season and so nearly the win...

Rodleydave

Tim doesn't do the messageboard so I'll do it for him.
His book An End of Innocence due in February... a look at how the 1959/60 season was a watershed in the game.

Rodleydave

Beautiful South
Count Basie does that count.

You wonder in this woke age if the best bits are edited out now.

claretonthecoast...320 pages on Paul W...nope 320 pages on Paul W...Colitis, stories about Mullen, Heath, Waddle, Gazza, Stan, Robbie Blake, Glen Little, Ian Wright, games such as the end of season against Plymouth, the God-awful Cup defeat at Watford, and several others. Stories from a dozen other ...

Rodleydave

5 games for Rochdale... and actually played for nothing.

Rodleydave

Waterstones have issued this...and they might just have jumped the gun.

Rodleydave

Well thanks for that... I had no idea the blurb had been issued... I promise you one thing...there are really good stories in this book. More than any I have read... since a Jimmy Greaves book years ago. Mullen, Heath, Waddle, Wrighty, Gazza, Stan T, Robbie B and Glen Little. Talked to a dozen of th...

The Magnificent Seven Up

Rodleydave

What more can he do with this collection of fading ageing players? Who is going to get any more out of them?
The irony is if a new man was appointed, the first thing he would want is money for new players.

Rodleydave

nice one.

Rodleydave

Tim Q at his best.

Shackleton always said he had proof of funds.
