Couhig banging on about history again. Amazed he’s got the time.

It might be worth checking whether Rob Couhig and eminent historian David Starkey have been seen in the same room before.

That's 5pm folks; the very specific time stated by the EFL for completion when they gave their latest extension. This just gives the impression that EFL deadlines are meaningless. Obviously, I would prefer a further extension to expulsion, but whats the point of giving a specific time and date for ...

we're chasing the playoffs - how can it be a free hit? They're not 90s AC Milan * *we'll lose obvs In theory we are chasing the playoffs but surely no one really thinks we will achieve it? Precisely. We aren't in shape to make the play offs, if we did make them we're in absolutely no shape to do we...

The phrase ‘agreed sale’ from the club appears a lot stronger than anything they’ve said officially before.

Today’s Sun says Bindon went for £1-million. Light?

Often did a great somersault after scoring a goal. Bring back those theatricals to the team Hunty! Jayden Wareham somersaults when he scores. Didn't copy it from Noel though as he used to do it when with Chelsea :lol: yes but, obvs we don’t get to see that too often. C’mon Noel, let’s have players ...

I've seen a few comments this season from opposition fans about how we "celebrate like we've won the cup". Let me put that in context: Our owner is slowly strangling the club, we're not allowed to sign any players and outside a core of 10 or 11 players,our squad is bulked out with teenage...

Thank God for nuclear weapons.

Brogue heard its Sandia Investment management LP

Any indication who they are, what they do etc?

Hedge fund.

Always find it slightly perplexing that whenever these sort of issues arise at football clubs, it always seems to come down to who owns the car park.

Sadly, I think we just have to hope that Dai does want to sell the club as there is sweet FA we can do about it. Interestingly, in one of Howe’s interviews I read he said we were a week away from administration. Does that mean Dai would actually put us into administration as opposed to liquidating ...

What an appalling situation and my heart goes out to those more heavily invested in the club's fortunes than myself at this time, hurting though it does even for me, now an occasional attender at games. Who knows what has gone on and the reasons for the breakdown in the current negotiations may neve...

Two conflicting accounts from fans at the game. One fan from the lower west below the directors box, who got a picture with Couhig 2 weeks ago, said he met Jacobson in the same spot who expressed confidence in completing the deal without going into specifics. Or hard man Stevie with his acquired bl...

Ah that’s worth knowing. It’s pretty obvious with all those time zones that the deal is going to take some time. You’ve only got to make one mistake on the TZ and that meeting in a shady corner of a provincial airport in China is off.

I don’t go along with the people saying the new club statement is worthless. It was very interesting in my view.

I had no idea there were 14 time zones in the world so definitely one to remember for the next pub quiz.

I think you'll find Rommel was a reasonably decent bloke and well respected by the allies. Apart from being a Nazi of course. In Rommel's case that is debatable in some ways, given he was one of the leading players in the plot to kill Hitler in 1944. He tried to kill my grandad so I’m short on ‘he ...

No respect for the guy. Karacan’s injury (which massively hobbled his career) was not a coincidence. Tetek’s injury (which seems to have effectively ended his career) was not a coincidence. He was a thug of a manager who had no respect for opposing players or officials. That’s the real Warnock, not...

Yup. Royalmail was great for its time. Graham published one of my posts as a match report and people were truly impressed - "you're on the internet!" ;-) We had a crackdown at the place I was working back then on external emails after some of the sales force were found receiving pornograp...

The choice of name for the holding company is odd and will fuel the Bisciotti rumours. The entity is wholly owned by Chiron and Rifkind has signed the loan agreement, but why call it the same name as another leading sports investment fund? Could it be possible that Chiron have sought a partner with...
