  1. If you remember to start from the position that we are only told what they think we want to hear the statement is as expected.  You can't take it at face value because it has no value.  They just want you to renew your season card - don't do it!

     

    The reasoning re budget is so wrong as to display childish ineptitude - on second thoughts that is hard on children.  The budget will be changed because the ballon payments do not replace what we are getting.  As noted by many our budget isn't going to be enough to avoid another relegation battle.

     

    Finally the last thing they are committed to do is to sell the club hence my decision not to renew.  My money goes to the new owner if/when we have one.  I hope I live long enough.

  2. No.  Administration is very risky.  Certainly the administrator will attempt to find a buyer and everything could work out but we are too close to the bottom to take the risk.  If we had another 10 points it could have worked.

     

    The administrator has 14 days to decide whether to terminate employee contracts.  He can pick and choose but to take over the football club the new owner would have to honour all 'football creditors' to gain ownership of the 'golden share' which they must have to play in the EFL.  We could end up playing Bury.

  3. Sefil is a 25 year old centre half who we are all agreed is positionally very poor.  Rather late to coach what should by now be second nature.

     

    I imagine Marco & Mo told Banny about all the great signings they were making, tell everyone what they want to hear, and now the stark reality of what he has to play with has struck home.

     

    We nearly won through a not surprising lack of respect but the subs changed the game.

  4. I'm not so sure that Banide is saying they are not good enough.  It could just be a language thing in that I think he is saying they are not doing enough nor are they playing with the right intensity or spirit.  So I think he wants these players to do better and that is his responsibility.

  5. Well we had the first 3 minutes of that game and then and then.......

     

    Vera actually had a good first10 minutes but then.......

     

    It was a team of disconnected individuals who had no idea what anyone else was doing with a captain who didn't even know what he was doing himself.

     

    Woods saved us from a drubbing and Hamer kept at it.

     

    I can't see where our first point is coming from.  We need someone who can hold the ball in attack and someone who can make a tackle and keep the ball in midfield.

  6. You have to remember that the now Royle Stand was built to serve two masters - the football club and the landlord.

     

    As we found out it wasn't built simply to provide an income stream for the football club.  I do not believe that the agreement reached by Corney with the landlord would have been made at arm's length.  It follows that if Marco & Mo see an agreement which benefits the Landlord more than the club they would reasonably seek an adjustment in their favour.

     

    I don't know what the facts are.  We will probably never know but it can't help to have the FLG appearing to have long term aims of taking over the football club.

  7. Against my better instincts my son softly softly persuaded me to support this game.  It was the beer I cry.

     

    We started looking like we wanted a draw.  Defending against an under 21 team?  Well yes they started full of energy and scored a great goal.  BUT as time went on less confident until it was two teams playing each other and what a strike by Desire.  Then Gregor, sorry showing, saves a shot but pushes the ball to their players - behind again.  Icovitti who had been on the end of two previous crosses scores with a shot.  2 2 and we are looking the better team.

     

    Now Urko Vera had a decent first half.  Detractors say a donkey but this donkey as compared to COG is able to do something when he wins the ball.  He was never my favourite but first half miles better than COG.

     

    In the second first half, score board started again at zero (could be another daft rule change by FIFA), we were toe to toe with the individually good but not so good team and Stott won the game for us.

     

    One could say it was a masterclass by our head coach.  Didn't play what should be our strongest team but after an entertaining first half and a competitive second first half a well earned win.  Well done a good performance.

     

    Some on here, myself included, might (please) begin to look a little stupid.

  8. Obviously not the end of the world for a football team to play for 90 minutes without getting either a shot on target or a corner.  Not the end of the world for both strikers to fail to convert chances because they couldn't get a shot on target.

     

    Mouse is disliked because of his failure to use his obvious ability all the time and the perception that some times this is because he can't be arsed.  In a team assembled by Marco and Mo and probably picked under their influence we do rather appear to be a showcase for poor talent and that does mean we will struggle in particular if the captain still can't be arsed.

     

    I will be able to judge once I work out who is who when we attempt to play attacking football against Crewe.

  9. The inability of those who knock others to understand what has been written is all part of the age of poor attention span.

     

    I have ignored pre season and have only seen Woods save us from a thrashing in the highlights from Morocco when the opponents wandered at will through our defence (sick).  However other supporters who I respect are clearly concerned by the back five as a unit from what they have seen.

     

    I await a sparkling performance against Crewe.  Fortunately the Vegans are also struggling to score so we might just get a 0 0 draw on Saturday.

  10. Another important rule in business is to explain your motivation.  The FLG is buying the stadium and car park to protect the future of our club and one person it has to be protected against is Marco.  Marco could have entered into negotiations to buy the stadium and land but for whatever reason declined.

     

    If Marco and Mo stay much longer we won't need a stadium and Boundary Park would be be sold for housing by Blitz.  Securing the stadium secures our future even if Marco and Mo do what I expect which is to take us out of the football league.

     

    I would like to own a share in the future of my football team and that is what the FLG are working towards.
