Re: Going Down??

I very much doubt the football predictions website takes into account our record against Southend over the previous decade (after all, why should it? Different teams/managers over that time). Anyway, the bookies have us marginally more likely to win than Southend, but it could go either way. That s...

Re: Going Down??

This prediction table still has us staying up. (I first checked it before the Fleetwood game and it had evidently predicted a draw in that, as we now have one fewer point predicted.) https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/league-table/predicted I still fear the worst, but then I generally do...

Re: Records show structure of Oxford United takeover deal

Also, Tiger is putting the club into debt rather than himself - to fund the purchase of the club! Isn't this basically what the Glazers did at Man Utd which pissed so many of their fans off? Yes, although if you do it with a house it's called a 'mortgage' and I've heard they're quite popular.... Ex...

Re: Appleton IN

Is that the same shell of a club that finished 8th in league one our highest position for years? Wasn't Les Taylor academy manager until recently and we're now advertising for another. Commercial managers have always come and gone - I imagine once they realise they have very limited scope to achiev...

Re: Appleton IN

I really don't see how this is being used as a stick to beat Eales with Hmm, really? We have/had a manager who has stated that he wants to prove himself as a manager at the highest level. Over the past two seasons he has won promotion and then gone on to finish within touching distance of the play-...

Re: (Comings and) goings

That argument is predicated on the one with the purse strings having access to a sufficiently large purse, given alleged divorce proceedings. Indeed. Even without the various rumours surrounding the purse-holder's personal life, a quick tot up of the sums expended to date would suggest that the wel...

Re: Appleton IN

I think the key quote(s) missing from there are Appleton's comments about wanting to see commitment for next season in the form of a budget which will allow the club to progress. The fact that we are now seeing the senior players expressing their disquiet would suggest that commitment hasn't been fo...

He also confirms that B teams in the league is not going to happen. No he doesn't. What he says is: Some of it was uncertainty about whether it was the thin end of the wedge in terms of trying to get B teams into the established league programme. There was never a suggestion, from anybody at the EF...

Re: Football League Trophy

Those comments from Harvey simply underline why I've felt that the boycott isn't over. So, I say thank you to him for helping galvanise my position.

This is what I just don't get. If you actively boycotted the previous rounds (rather than simply couldn't be arsed to go), what changed that made you feel the boycott was no longer necessary?
