But this is the EFL so he’ll probably sail through it. Yet another clown potentially taking over the wheel. Still firmly believe we need to change our ownership style. Insanity is meant to be doing the same thing over and over again whilst expecting a different result. What we do, basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already rejected him for bolton because he had zero money so I doubt they'll even give him the time of day unless hes suddenly become rich again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is Walter Mitty in a clown suit, wearing a mask, carrying a swag bag! I cant believe this guy is about to be allowed to be involved so I'll put it down to social media rumour and mark it as not even a possibility for now. The EFL aren't that stupid..... are they?

andy_b_100 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What wouldnt suprise me in the least would be seeing Corney back as a babysitter for Blitz until the club as a whole is sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Andy I'd be happy with that for starters. AL and his clowns gone, club still in the EFL and maybe some constructive and consolidating new ownership discussions ongoing.

Half-time wasn't a minute either. Sport needs to evolve to its market. If you had said 20 years ago that the biggest boxing PPV buy rate was a fight between 2 minor celebrities you'd have been sectioned. The same way that you can be a professional e-sports player. The issue is that when football is run by old stuck in the mud white men with a hint of the lodge about them then football isn't going to evolve at the required rate. Eventually more and more clubs are going to go bust that something will need to be changed for England to sustain more than 2 professional leagues. I am talking of the 1950s, same with Olympic athletes who had main jobs outside the game (except perhaps some communist counties who often recruited from the armed forces). I was there, were you? Football of course wasn't often on live TV, now its saturated, again ruled by the greedy brigade. Newspapers are the same, massive coverage of the PL with half page size photos of players while lower leagues reports are consigned to a bit in the corner of a page. Yes I'm a dinosaur..and liking it. We aren't extinct as is popular belief and will rule the earth again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell - I think I`m a dinosaur too BP I find Premiership football boring - genuinely. I can't even stomach Match of the Day any more - I just keep looking at the smug studio staff (Lineker, Shearer etc.) and thinking how on Earth can we pay these people masses of cash to state the bleeding obvious?! I`ve spoken to lots and lots of "reds" in pubs who have never been to a game. We live in a strange world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was seen the best part of eight weeks ago, and there's nothing concrete linking him to what's going on now. Let's not panic just yet.
