Re: Major ownership development

But of a gamble isn't it, spending money we might not have, on a promise. I'm assuming this will have been spoken about between the board and Garlick - I'd understand if he didn't want to, but it would be nice if he gifted the club a bit of dough in the meantime :lol:

Re: Major ownership development

So, if what I've looked up is correct, assuming that the period of exclusivity began on Saturday when we were told about it, and assuming Mike Garlick decides to proceed, the sale could be signed, sealed and delivered anywhere between 14th July and 15th September. The shortest period for the period ...

Re: Little bit of news

I have to agree. I liked Tom. A lot. But is he really good enough to have got us challenging for promotion to L1 again? He was solid-ish. His pace is next to none. He scored just a couple of goals from set pieces. Nice guy, but in all honesty we need better for the first team and if he doesn't want ...

Re: Major ownership development

Very promising. His net worth appears to be around £60m, from what I could see, so don't expect him to be funding a new main stand out of his own pockets. That figure seems old, the latest I can find is £93million net worth from earlier this year. Well off but not excessively rich to the extent he ...

When you can get pint bottles of decent beer for £1 in the supermarket, no pint in the pub should ever be more than £3. ….and which supermarket would that be please? Aldi. Lots of good stuff, 99p to £1.50, including Hobgoblin, Proper Job, and "Old Session Hen"/various Hen...variations.

It’s highly questionable that a side finishing 5th, 6th or 7th gets promoted into the Football League when the side finishing 2nd with 96 points has a bad day at the office and misses out altogether.
