Nope, but unfortunately we are in the same mould as your Rushden & Diamonds and Bury/Macc, rather than Accrington or Rochdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPAS Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Matt (and we mean Matt this time) will be on BBC GMR today during the match build up from 2pm, discussing today’s game and events this week, prior to recording Monday’s podcast, after the match today hopefully with 3 points in the bag, with special guest Mike Keegan. There’s still time to get any questions in you may have. Don’t miss Mondays episode, it’s sure to be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It may not be the best source, but it is the only source I have to work with" I'm not sure the article tells us that much other than the writer is probably The Daddy at Football Manager...

It’s correlates with what Karl said on the pod recently, that the owners had done very well to get the wage bill within the cap. Individual wages maybe a bit out, but the overall picture isn’t.

Magic Mikey Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ask him about the time he tried to heat up his milk in a plastic bowl on the hob. Or when my dad took him and my brother out of the ground to miss the traffic before Redders scored THAT penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Money in brown envelopes shocker rocks football. Those that don't know this is rife in football or big business/land deals/purchase contracts/planning agreements, tend to play fair in life most likely and the best people to trust. That said this is slightly different to the norm, in that it was to bail Corney and effectively the club out. We can only hope it was squared off correctly in the end with HMRC etc I suppose. In big Joe's days the manager had a war chest of cash in his desk for bungs to get deals done. The amounts usually most the board didn't know about. It just surprises me given HMRC and the like tried to bring to book a number of high profile figures in the game and failed miserably to do so a few years ago. It's true us fans only get to hear what those in the game want us to, it's a closed shop for sure. I was told stories from a former Latics player (off the record) about a couple of deals he was involved in, that the ordinary joe in the street would never see in life. Some big bucks. I guess it proves that the mighty OAFC could actually do a Bury despite those who think the saviour will always turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
