And then this, in reply to Kieran Maguire talking about new ownership of Matlock Town…
IMO Butterfield should have been kept at all cost .. how we could do with him now!!
“At all cost” would have defeated the object of putting a sensible wage structure in place. When his wife kicked off on socials about insulting offers and other players being on more, etc, she neglected to mention the specifics. His contract had run out and the offer(s) made to him were in line with club policy. Same will happen when ‘the seven’ come to the end of their contracts.

Totally agree there Ironawe.
But come end of season if we haven’t been promoted and everything was for nothing, fans won’t be acceptable to all the well below par performances. (Last night wasn’t one of them by the way)A lot of the fans aren’t acceptable now!

There’ve been some phenomenal moves, passes and plays, and absolutely fantastic football moments, during these three games. That’s been really heartening. But it’s totally unrealistic and even unfair to expect Division 6 players to be able to sustain a performance at that level for all 90 minutes of a match. Those moments are at the top end of their limits.

That wasn’t a contract extension he was offered, it was an actual written contract he was offered. Those first 7 games he was in charge before he signed his contract was via a verbal agreement.
Makes it all the more annoying because if Michelle had waited a little while longer he would have been so easy and cheap to get rid of.
I’ve only just seen this post. Seeing that behaviour as ‘a win’ is terrible. That’s not how you should think about treating people.

As Brucie used to say – “what do points make – prizes!”
He also used to say “Good game, good game” – and none of them have been.

We seem to be able to ‘play’ for about 20 minutes in total per match. The rest is really difficult to watch. But credit to Butler and the team – 9 points is more than I thought we’d get from these three home games on the bounce.

I know we live in a world where truth is fast becoming whatever most people are willing to believe rather than anything backed up by actual evidence but in my humble opinion, this is all nonsense.
The only tangible shred of evidence the bloke on twitter/X has provided is a link to Wikipedia page detailing what went on with myfootballclub 12 (TWELVE) years ago.
The website linked to the Wiki page (www.myfootballclub.co.uk) times out and seems abandoned, I can’t find an active site on the wayback machine (internet archive) for at least the last 6 years. Their Facebook page detailing their sponsorship of the might Slough Town hasn’t been updated since 2020.
By the 2012-13 season they had just 1300 members (source: The Guardian, interview with founder Will Brooks in 2017) hardly enough people to buy a football club at £35 a pop
According to the FCA website mutuals public register, Myfootball Club Society Limited (30275R) was deregistered on 17th March 2014.
I stress I have no knowledge of the inner working of the club so could always be wrong but on balance, based on the information I can find (and until anyone presents evidence to the contrary), this smells a lot like bovine excrement to me.
I think I saw Bovine Excrement play The Baths in 1978.
