Have CTFC played a league fixture on everyday of the week?

Someone on the FGR thread offered this explanation of the difference between the two cases: Barnsley fielded a player who simply wasn't eligible and shouldn't have played; FGR fielded a player who was eligible but a particular piece of paperwork had been incorrectly filed. Had that paperwork been f...

So Forest Green have clearly bribed someone as despite admitting to fielding an illegible player, they have been allowed to replay their match against Scarborough. It will be interesting to see if Barnsley take any action against the FA for this as they did the same and were thrown out. An FA state...

Proof, if it were needed, that this Board is always looking to the future and securing the long term. Bravo.

'always looking to the future' I'll have to be convinced a bit more on this.

Soap opera stuff coming out of Morecambe today. The entire Board have released a statement condemning the owner. They've asked potential buyers to contact them directly. Unless the club is sold, they consider their position will be "untenable" (i.e. they'll resign). Awful stuff. A very si...

Reading back under a EFL embargo for failure to pay HMRC bill Is that another automatic point deduction? No. Because players have been paid 100% of wages, while club staff have been paid 50%. So, no points sanction because it only applies to non-payment of playing staff. As such, low paid office st...

Small clubs like Wycombe are his level, anything bigger and its a completely different approach, can't really knock him for having a go. I'd have him here.

Mmmmm...? Seems like a waste of time having a write up in the Guardian for the good people of grimsby

They should be in the premier league by now shouldn't they? I mean they were BIG TIME weren't they?

Rugby Union has been in a financial mess all the time it has been a professional sport. It has made the mistake of paying the players too much money well beyond the income generated. Hence the demise of many a club in recent times. I would expect the sport to follow cricket and go for the cash offe...

A couple of ticket offers that are up on the online ticketing page, though not yet marketed by the club. Firstly, there’s an interesting “Christmas package” offer for standing at the Shrewsbury and Reading games: Buy an adult ticket for both for £30 (kids are a tenner). An excellent offer, clearly ...

the amount of money Barnsley have lost in recent years this is a mere pocket change.

So the BBC/ITV could lose freetoair as they cannot afford the rights, pretty sure this would be the beginning of the end for rugby union, the national game is a complete financial mess, the long term health effects of playing the game becoming an issue and the game becoming quite a chore to watch (t...

Just been looking at his career to date. I have to say, this seems like a massive risk for a club that have had such a good start in League One. "Long-term contract", as well. Didn't make it as a professional player, just had a youth career at Reading and Oxford. I guess it's nice to see ...

I thought the debate was a bit daft but I see Si's point. The club set the min price and there was only one bid of this price so they could of cost themselves money. Who knows? Should of started at a higher price or just stated open to offers. Who came up with that price in the first place? Seems v...

football has so much to learn from rugby :roll: appalling situation at Exeter. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/nov/19/exeter-investigate-after-ugo-monye-reports-racist-abuse-leaving-stadium reading his account of the incident is quite chilling, fingers crossed this person is bought to justice.

so other teams got relegated while everton cheated and (still) get a chance to stay in the prem.

Worth the risk isn’t it.

pathetic.

will be interesting to see if AM scores 18+ goals for charlton (this season) whether some championship clubs will show real interest in him.

Apart from Tozer (where money from the buying club was no issue) have CTFC done well (fully rewarded) for any recent transfers?

is the peanuts comment a sly dig at the board? (already).

They won't take Cotts there, his style of play is the total opposite of what Manning has them playing. Could see the Cowley's being interested but also being overlooked for a more progressive younger coach. Also I heard Cotts had applied for the Bristol Rovers job, could certainly see that happenin...

good 'progressive' idea, a nice mix of people from different walks of life, I just hope this isnt allowed to be kicked into the long grass as time goes on.

I wrote a thread on here that there is a danger we throw the bath tub out with the water or something to that effect. Whilst I agree with what Adam Murray says here just be warned a massive squad overhaul during the season tends to be very costly (we may need to pay players contracts up or loan the...

“standards and culture”

since Duff left across the whole of the club these have dropped. Seems this board need a strong willed manager to keep them in check.

Cotterill
Johnson

in my experience supporting CTFC this rings true.
