  1. Keegan was tweeting that Kuqi was going elsewhere about 45 minutes after his signing had been announced.

     

    No, I wasn't. It was about five minutes after and mixed messages were coming out. And who told you all about Robbie Simpson first? Or that we were in for Kuqi in the first place? Or about the new stand? Gee whizz Prozac, give me a break.

  2. Cue fishal site ranting about allowing information to leak into the public domain? Trouble is it's not one new stand we need, but three…or serious refurbishment on the Chaddy and Main Stands. Encouraging news but this really is end game for Corney's exit strategy….

     

    Found this out right on deadline last night and have updated the website with a bit more this morning. Some scepticism from club, firstly at whether this will go through (maybe understandable given the historical context) and secondly about how long it will take for money to filter through. Doing a follow-up for tomorrow with fans reaction - would appreciate it if anyone who wants to give their views calls me on 211 2056 or emails me including their name, age, occupation and where they're from at: mike.keegan@men-news.co.uk

     

    Cheers

  3. In December I went to Madison Square Garden to watch an ice hockey match. Halfway up the stairs to the press box I spotted a bloke in the crowd wearing a Latics cap. I congratulated him on his choice of headwear. He stared back blankly. I told him I was from Oldham and a Latics fan. He stared back blankly. In the end I just walked off.

  4. This only refers to the 'detailed dossier' sent by the Council to the CC, not to an appeal. The media like to sensationalise, and never let the facts get in the way of a good story - 'appeal' sounds more dramatic than 'dossier'!

     

    Diego is right. As mentioned in the piece there is no appeal. The council have written to the CC to correct some inaccuracies in their report but that does not constitute an appeal, hence them looking at alternative sites.

  5. 100k, lol. It's a lot of money but everything has value and 100k does not align with Chris Taylor's value and so it's easy to refuse.

     

    Transfer Policy jsslatics style

     

    Potential buyer: "Hey Simon Corney, can we buy Taylor, Furman, Stephens, Lee for 100k?"

     

    SC: "Yeah sure, 100k is a lot of money."

     

    Scunthorpe have signed Andy Hughes.
