Steve Evans. Would donate to medical science to make that happen. 

I'd love to be around if Lemsagam told Evans what team to pick.

Will AL be bought out too?

We can but hope. Unlikely, though, I would have thought.

Barry

That was my fear as well. Can you just imagine Detective Barry Blatter collecting a gong/trophy at Wembley? He'd be a shoo in for ego of the year/decade/millennium.

Maybe Tranmere if they don't go up?

One more success than Wild, Bunn or Scholes.

Is this the Westley that managed an reasonable career at Stevenage?  He had three goes at it.

The Westley that went to Preston and pissed the players off by sending them text messages at 3am telling them who was playing and who wasn't?

The Westley whose players were so hacked off with him that they reneged over the training?

The Westley whose players were so hacked off with him that they told their opponents (Sheff Wed, IIRC) what team he'd be putting out?

The Westley who Preston sacked?

The Westley who went to Peterborough and was sacked after 7 months?

The Westley who went to Newport almost guaranteeing them promotion and nearly got them relegated before being sacked?  Newport County club secretary Graham Bean resigned, saying "Graham Westley is an impossible man to work with... he needs to learn some manners and start treating people with some respect".

The Wesley who then managed Barnet and was sacked after 2 months, playing 11 games and winning just two? He hasn't worked in football for over a year since.

You still want him? One feature is that he's a total head case, so it would be a battle between him and Doink the Clown to find out who's the biggest. Answers on the back of a postcard.

If Vera gets a new deal I''ll be in for an immediate season ticket refund and contacting Trading  Standards.

And I'll be arranging AL's psychotherapist. Unless he already has one.

The kit on your avatar is the best one.

I'd love to see it come back, but I doubt it ever will.

Those were the days.  I loved that shirt.  Remember the little catalogue of top league football shirts and we was in there with that shirt.  still got it in the loft somewhere

The catalogue or the shirt?

On the 100 Club,  AL had put season tickets for the 100 club on sale today, yet he hadn’t got an agreement with the OEC to use the facilities so anyone paying any money to the club may nor be able to use anything but the seat. It’s not Blitz’s fault - it’s down to AL as he hasn’t signed an agreement like last season...

Chancer doesn't quite cover it, does it?

What's really worrying is, now PW has gone, the retained/binned list is all down to Mr Basketcase and his bruv. And the Dreaded Red Fleece, of course. Christ, the very thought of it scares the shit out of me.

In my nearly 69 years of supporting the club I love, this is the closest I've ever come to saying "sod it, I've had enough". I just love it a bit too much though.

I would LOVE Graham Westley here. 

 

He'd get us promoted.

I'll have a dollop of what you're drinking/smoking/sniffing

With our luck, we'll end up with Lee sodding Clark or Graham frigging Westley. And we thought we'd dodged a bullet not having Pressley.

The basket case has to pull something out of the fire to get folk onside. Can't see it happening though. What's Pablo Correa up to these days?

It really is a shame that @Stevie_J and I had to have this discussion a little while ago.

Although there are prizes at stake, irrespective of what the winners decide to do with their winnings, it is a competition designed for us to have some fun. 

When a line is crossed, it takes away the enjoyment and is completely unnecessary. We willingly give up some of our spare time to run it; needing help or assistance isn't the issue.

All we ask is that those taking part do so in the correct manner, have some fun, exchange a bit of light hearted banter and just generally enjoy ourselves away from the "pressures" of supporting a 4th division football team.

Steve and I will have a chat soon and decide the best way to go. In the meantime, good luck to all those in the play offs and remember to PM @Stevie_J with your second leg predictions.

Ta ta for now.

DG6, Baxter and Clarke all off, it seems. Dunno about any others...

Whilst some may disagree with them going, I don't think it's much of a surprise.

Does anyone know when the retained list is published?

 

 

Don't know when, but it's any that are left once Abdallah boots out all those that have offered criticism of him/Little Mo/#Frenchlads and those that he doesn't need for the next three months.

I've just discovered that @a259 has been locked out of his OWTB account since the Cheltenham game due to too many failed login attempts.  He had sent me a note, via PayPal, with his Cheltenham prediction which would have bagged him 3 points and seen him into second place in the Premier League at that point.  What might have been...?

 

@Ex_pat, @lookersstandandy, you don't anything about this, do you?

That's rough luck on @a259. We'll never know whether he would have amassed the other 10 points to draw level with @lookersstandandy. At least he didn't "do a Bolton" by refusing to play.

Forgive me for sounding thick, but how do you know it has an iron on badge? Inside knowledge?

The final game of the season didn't really do anyone any favours as the tables below show. Not that it made any difference to the tables, but @aidan_latics and @Macca both posted at 14:51, so their predictions don't count.

League 1

It's been the best season ever for numbers of players, even though some fell by the wayside at various points. The money raised is used to good effect, so that can be boosted further by having enough players next season to have a League 2. I'm going to put my feet up for three months now, unless @Stevie_J is sulking over his potential relegation and makes me do the play offs .
