When will you realise that Lampard, Gerrard and Beckham don't go into the same midfield. Actually I am convinced a two man midfield of Lampard and Gerrard will never work. Owen had one weapon as a striker, pace, and he has lost it. I hope we get Germany because I can't see us beating Ecuador. Not c...

Its a it more serious than that Mooro. Crawley are unable to pay their creditors, so in the hands of the administrator they could well be put into receivership and be liquidated. According to one report I read today, every one of their players is actively looking for a new club. The poiont I was tr...

Crawley have, or have applied to, go into administration, but did so after the season ended, so they will receive a ten point penalty which will come into effect next season rather than retrospectively this season, so we are already ten points clear of bottom place (when was the last time that was ...

I see Crawley Town are in financial trouble.

If they are liquidated, does this mean another reprieve for financially troubled Scarborough I wonder?

Farce doesn't do it justice.

Didn't know he was that way inclined. Tell us more...

No wonder he was always licking his fingers - better grip for counting.

With the benefit of hindsight, we might well be nearing the Championship now had Atkins stayed. Let's not go through this bit of revisionism again (not you personally GY, but I've seen it so often from others over the years). We were not going to get promoted the season Atkins left - yes, we were 5...

He could have appointed managers with a proven track record, rather than those offering to work for next to nothing, but he chose not to. This is the only bit I really disagree with. As someone who openly disagreed with almost every managerial appointment he made, I think he went with track record ...

Not sure about how much funding came from the sale of the Manor as the accounts show bank loans of £6.75m and grant income (from the Football Foundation?) of £2.5m. The received wisdom is that the stadium cost in the region of £10-12m to complete, which doesn't account for the £6m &quotprofit&a...

This debate is going back to the same points and is largely circular. It seems to me there are 5 main elements to the debate. Firstly the player transfers, then player wages and the 2 combined form player budget. The third area is stadium investment. The fourth is the existing elements of the club, ...

I'm still not sure who you are - sorry! I recognise the name Soul Man though. Did we meet before the Oxford City game 2 years ago, behind the far goal at Court Place Farm? Yes, that's me. Living in Cornwall now, hence the handle. As with everyone really, those that know me will know who I am just a...

Thanks for correcting me on Wilsterman AbOx. I agree with your points about where it went wrong. GY, you have a strange intrepretation of the word cheap. I believe the McGuckin story was that the managerof the time hurried Kassam into signing him without a medical because otherwise he would be snap...

Not disagreeing with GY about some of the other sides of investment, but purely on the playing side FK did continue to throw money in (or put back in what he received via sales etc, if you like) to let managers have who they wanted. He, as Chairman, is not responsible for who is signed, that is dow...

She wanted to earn moorhen she could at Oxford.

Steve Davis was signed in February 1998 by M Shotton after Purse was sold and was OK in my in my opinion. Pre FK. Kevin Francis joined the same day. Brian Wilsterman was signed in March 1997 by Denis Smith. Again pre FK. BW was a garbage player and a panic buy after Elliott left and the Minchery Fa...
