Re:

I read about the possible takeover as well, but isn't the problem that anyone considering taking over, who is anything other than a devoted Crawley Town fan, has nothing to develop and therefore nothing to gain, and is therefore unlikely to be prepared to keep the club afloat? Where do you live the...

Re:

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...

Re:

Player transfers: Clearly more has come in than has gone out. Not enough risk taken in buying now for future gains. At first, I wasn't convinced by this and thought income from tranfers was about the same as what had been spent. Whilst in Kassam's early days that was the case, the past 4 seasons ha...

Re:

i suspect that there was a certain amount of underestimating the task on the pitch. we'd just picked up five points from 3 games, and i think the feeling was that it would be pretty easy to maintain, if not improve on, that record. so taking over the club at that point might not have been seen as s...

Re:

The timing of the deal was pretty much all down to Kassam though. In my view the appointment of B&ampB was deliberate too as a final lever. Not sure I entirely agree with this. Merry et al were well aware of the looming transfer deadline and the handful of games remaining, so what drove them to...

I know that Nick Merry made a brief comment when he took over that all club-associated revenue would now go to the club rather than StadCo. At the time, I raised the question of how this would be possible and whether it had been acheived or whether it was just a wish for the future, but was shouted ...

They have already signed four new players who will not be cheap on the wage bill: Francis Green from Lincoln Tim Ryan from Doncaster Mark Allbrighton from Chester Anthony Elding from Stevenage. On average gates of 2,400 they still h...
