I got bored of it.

Nothing new at all and the bulk of the article was about other clubs.

Nothing new to us, but the first time it's been featured in a national publication to my knowledge.

I just hope that other FL managers realise that it could be their club that experiences something similar one day and are prepared to help our manager and club survive by being cooperative if and when Jimbo comes knocking for loan deals AND being prepared to come down with a team to play some friendly games. I seem to recall Burnley playing Accy when Accy had problems.

The bigger clubs like Man Utd etc have to realise that all clubs are members of a bigger family.

A certain blue club on Merseyside is out of the FA Cup and will have a free day on Saturday 28th January.

Maybe a friendly at The Globe to raise club finances. It will never happen :!: :!:

The one thing that should be heeded in this article is the bit about the seller carrying out adequate checks on the buyer before proceeding, it's their duty A. If they want their money, and B. In order to safeguard the future of the club!

We don't know what checks where made and it's not the first time that a club has found itself in similar circumstances DESPITE checks being undertaken. I'm sure that Leeds, Notts County and others went through a similar process.

And who does the checking on behalf of the seller? The EFL seemd happy and no doubt the Banks got involved.

I just think it's too easy to blame one individual......

IF it's true about the buyer then he has done this a number of times.... :?: :?: :?:

If he had done it ''several'' times, he'd be known for it in footballing circles Neil, he isn't known for anything, in any circles!
And as I told you yesterday, you owe Keith a big thank you for removing all your libellous comments about him, so please don't start making even more :)
