Loft clearly didn’t want to be here so he as well gone, although given past players tend to come back and score against us I hope there is a clause in the contract that he cant play against us this season.

You hope?
But given the utter incompetence of those now running the club, would you bet on it?

The £11 million was written off, but £50,000 will help knock some off our our current debt.

Nope.
He took the ground and land in payment.
A despicable act since his mismanagement ran up the debt.

Yes.
In the men’s game.
No, for the women’s game.

Makes sense to me.

True to form the Government have appointed a Minister of Education who knows nothing about the system!

Ah yes, brings to mind the wonderful talented education secretaries of the Bliar years, David Blunkett, eho went to a special school, and Ruth Kelly who went to a strict Catholic private school.
Neither had ever been into a state school until appointed.

Education, education, education.

Nope, Liebour bullshit.
Blunkett hated teachers too🙄

I thought we were only going to get 35 points Alcy?

Is this a sly attempt to get away with adding another 3 points to your prediction?

Good to read you have started the new year with greater optimism.

No more optimism, but the maths changes when we add three points.
Going down, sorry.

Thing is Swannster has said we’ll have to get by with this embargo. In my opinion he’s pretty much washed his hands of us, he may as well let somebody else in as chairman next season.

If Swann had any ambition left as chairman he would have cleared the embargo.

As a club we deserve better than what he’s offering up. I’d rather he admitted he’s done everything he can at the club, works hard to get interest “if there is any out there” and moves on.

Swann can give the ground back as well while he’s at it !

Got fairies at the bottom of your garden too?
You’ll believe owt if you believe Swann will do either thing.

[alcazar]

Having a modest effect?

Very modest, I’d say.

In fact I’m pretty sure he’s not the answer dome on here think/thought he was.

You can all apologise to me come season end.

[alcazar]

Toys? Plural?
I was brought up so poor one toy was it.
And I never threw it anywhere.

You lot’s optimism is quite amusing.
As yet, I’ve seen no reason for it, but you continue if it helps.
Myself, I’ll stick to reality.

“Cost us the draw”, Les?

Draws haven’t been enough for some time now.

Going down.

Of course not, silly boy.😄

But if you look at my post. I’ve simply quoted BBC stats, so actually watching it, god forbid, was unnecessary.

Don’t tell me you still put money into the fat man’s pocket?

[alcazar]

Or there’s too much optimism.
Swann must be laughing up his sleeve.

We do seem to have stopped conceding so often in the final ten minutes, for whatever reason.
A positive comment from Alcazar to end 2021.

Not that we’re likely to be told either way.

Hopefully Mr Swann is going to back Keith in January where possible and stay out of the playing side of the club and leave the management to their jobs to carry on with their jobs.

Hopefully?

I’ll wager he’ll do neither.

[alcazar]

Hill is WG’s uncle and I claim my £5.

[alcazar]

Great away win.
I so hope I’m wrong and lose my £10.

But on a serious note, how can a certain unnamed player be slated by one and all over the last half dozen games, and then turn in a mom performance today?

[alcazar]

Ah lads, surely we still believe that Swann knew best, that he had the club’s interests foremost?

The Milwall game is also memorable as they had a good side. Some of the Millwall nutters dressed as surgeons!!

I remember probably the last non-segregated home derby against the Cods, the fighting in the Donny Road End was pretty much the whole game.
Strikers, we had Cassidy, they had a guy called Stuart Brace, their No7.
Some of the Grimsby fans wore long white coats, like lab coats iirc.
I think that was 68/9.
My sister had to be taken out of the dre after being struck on the head by a missile thrown by one of the Cod fans.
I only found out when I got home.

Happy days?
Only in some ways.

[alcazar]

Hill schmill.
My money is still firmly on non-league for the foreseeable future, many of us will never see a return to league football.
Merry Christmas Swann, you utter turd.

It’s “conniving”.

Depends who the debt is with.
Ours must have been owed to Coolsilk?
Hence we gave them the ground and land.

But three things come to mind?
Are we still losing money?
If so, at what rate?
And how do “we” pay off any new debt accrued?
