Flattered to deceive his whole career – check out his goals and assists record.
Abysmal for someone with his talent.

In my view this idea could help the club recover but only if correctly organised and with the correct aims.
It will likely fail if set up by a single fan. I would happily do it but how do potential contributors know I won’t disappear with the cash? I wouldn’t of course but you don’t know that.
That means it has to be done by or at least on behalf of an organisation with some credibility and accountability e.g. Iron Trust.
I am a member (up to now a very inactive one) but would be glad to help and or support.
The other thing is what will the money be used for? If it is simply to allow potential new owners to pay the current owners unrealistic asking price then most potential contributors would be reluctant to donate. I personally have no interest in contributing towards gambling debts, legal fees or hotel building for someone that has trashed my football club.
If the fund was for future running costs and funding developments to support regaining league status to help the local consortium I would happily contribute. Especially if this secures a share of the club for the trust. This could be done either pre-administration should the current owner have an attack of conscience and realism. More likely after the consortium buys the club post admin.

Every time I pass a full length mirror I can’t help thinking it must have been me.

I dont think any Maidstone fans will make it. If they are prepared to travel that far they may as well go on up to York and watch their own team.

As Ironlion82 states read up on statutory redundancy pay.
On the first page of the government site it clearly states you have been employed for over 2 years to qualify.
Lee Turnbull has not been. Non story alarmist bullshit.

Great to see Wilson starting to deliver on the promise he has always shown.
Had to smile at the Chesterfield commentator who kept saying Taft was on loan from Bolton. Until his late gaff he had his best game since he was on loan from Bolton.
I don’t quite share Lesgeo’s optimism but at least under Nelson the team look as if they know what they are trying to do even if they don’t always achieve it. For me this is the first time since Hurst was sacked for crossing the idiot.

Been playing it, watching it and suffering for it for over 60 years. Never has been and never will be soccer.

Watched the livestream and the boys unlucky to not get all 3 points.
Having decent goalkeeper, a midfield that tackles and full backs playing on their correct side seemed to help.
Who would have thought it.
Not our previous 2 managers obviously. Delighted for Foster in particular. Let in 7 on his debut. Clean sheet in his next game.

As an occasional critic of Southgate on here I just wanted summarise what I have said about him in the past so I am not accused of being smart after the event.
He seems a very nice man and obviously has talent as a man manager and a football coach.
I have no issue with his tactics when we are playing teams we probably should beat. In fact his record in these games is excellent. Other than Ramsey and Robson most previous England managers have struggled to even achieve this. So well done Gareth.
My issue with him is when we face an equal or better team. His inbuilt caution kicks in and he reverts to 5 at the back with 2 holding midfield players and tries to defend his way to victory while snatching a breakaway or set piece goal.
For some quality teams this works but for the current crop of England players all the positives are going forward and most of the negatives are in defence. Asking the Saka’s, Foden’s, Rashford’s, Sterling’s and Grealish’s to act as auxillary full backs focuses them on something they are not very good at and negates what they are good at.
Take the Croatia semi and the Italy final. Both against teams that were good but not really great. In both games he was given a winning lottery ticket with an early goal from an unlikely source. Both oppenents were rocking and shell shocked after conceding. Instead of unleashing the cavalry and getting the goal(s) that would have probably won those matches the team dropped deeper and deeper and barely laid a glove on the opposition after scoring.
To win this world cup he is probably going to have to beat 3 teams that are better than Croatia 2018 and Italy 2021. I don’t think he will do it with the tactics he has employed in the past when it gets to squeaky bum time.
I hope I am wrong obviously but I would rather get beat 4-3 by France, Spain or Brazil having given it a real go that slink out to a low scoring defeat or penalties after a snoozefest.
Agree about the BBC. The lunatic right have managed to transform it from the planets most respected news source to Tory mouthpiece in a few short years.

90 minutes trying to stop a steamroller then you get thrown under a bus by your new manager.
I will give him the benefit of more than 1 game but I would take issue with Nelson on 3 things for starters.
1. Playing 5 at the back whilst also playing Apter behind 2 forwards leaves you with 2 midfielders against on that showing the best footballing side in the league. Not the smartest of tactics which allowed them to pass through the middle at will. Did nothing to address the rather obvious issue during the game. Felt sorry for Beeston and Butterfield who were on a hiding to nothing.
2. Playing Ogle out of position after a longish injury break obviously did not work. Got absolutely roasted in the first half when County got through us down the right at will. 2 left backs on the bench but nothing got changed.
3. No problem with giving the players a roasting in the dressing room after the game but not sure it helps to continue it into your press interview. He claimed he was being honest. Sounded a bit like the players are all shit and it’s not my fault they can’t or won’t do what I tell them. Maybe Daws was a bit soft with the players but did that opinion need airing on the radio?
He was obviously emotional which proves he cares which is at least more than Hill ever demonstrated but he has work to do if he is going to be here after the takeover is finalised.
4,200ish 1,400 from County

It is the business of Roj Rahmen who is the man funding a new scoreboard.
Don’t know him personally but he is certainly getting behind the club.
