It will be over 50%.

Shade

The Garlick situation muddies things but it still feels like mixed messages - Miller on the transfer list but we don't want him to go and it would take a significant offer to be accepted. Bit odd. Reading between the lines Flynn never transfer listed him but our Director of Football was shopping hi...

Both in League 1? Strange. I guess the boy wants to be closer to home.

Shade

Maybe that's why Gav Crowe has moved on - we need some kind of miracle worker to come in. A godly person who can lay their hands on the injured and heal them.

Shade

Another reminder that life can end just like that, no matter who you are or how successful you are. RIP to a man who was just 28, with three kids, married less than two weeks ago, current Premier League and Nations League champion, and is gone just like that, along with his brother.

Shade

Kinsella seems like the kinda guy who would be up doing 5km runs at 6am every morning of his summer break.

Shade

Want to support a club that punches above its weight and spends far more than it should on wages, plans a new stadium and hires high profile head coaches? Well there's one not too far from here that fits the bill nicely. I really think if they start to build that thing, that really may start to cau...

Savage confirmed. So much about this is comical.

An-gol, An-jol, Ayn-gol, Ayn-jol?

Or something else?

An-gol every time I've heard him mentioned before.

Hopefully he will soon be known as Lee An-goals.

Heh.

Do you think he will provide Money For Nothing...?

The new owner isn't one of these Sultans of Swing, like a lot of the clubs get these days, so I can't see that happening.

I'll get my...not coat. Too hot.

Shade

8 goals for a relegated side last season isn't bad. Hopefully get 10+ for us.

Shade

My point is WHY would we need one? It's only a few of you here that are getting stressed about it. The contract is signed, the player is ours, he just hasn't been registered with the EFL yet in order to be confirmed, and that doesn't matter as we don't have a game he would need to be registered for ...

Shade

A few people saying, as if it's fact, the striker we've signed subject to Monday's medical is Andy Carroll.

Shade

Given he's the club secretary and this is obviously his job, and given we have a bare bones staff behind the scenes in order to squeeze every last penny we can into the playing budget, it's hardly surprising the club don't want to leave the registering of players to someone else who might make a mis...

Shade

I'm really not sure what the arguments are about here. We need investment in the team and a new main stand. Obviously we need the priority to be the shorter term investment in the team, and as a longer term investment, the main stand to be looked at in time. Anyway, my post was merely to show MG's h...

Shade

Any possibility to send some of our fringe players there on loan do you think? You will need to clear that with Spanish government and Spanish border patrol :( Why exactly would that be needed? Well, they control the border now (I'm not sure if it has already started), so presumably they can deny e...

Shade

And he appears to have grown his hair, so he's even less aerodynamic than he used to be.

Right...how many ex-Cheltenham employees, on and off the pitch, have they got now? It's getting a bit ridiculous, isn't it?

Shade

All means nothing until we know the squads clubs have in September. How can we say it will be a harder league when we, theoretically, could have a cash injection and win it at a canter? No, I'm not expecting anything of the sort, but while there are the possibilities for any club to sign multiple pl...

Shade

Back to the potential new owner - I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned any of this stuff but it gives me hope regarding the ground and training facilties. The takeaway is he doesn't splurge but, indeed, invests in the club for it to be able to take care of itself: Mike Garlick was a significant figu...

Shade

To be fair, we never heard anything from Micky Moore for a long, long time either. He shouldn't have a lot to say anyway, to be honest. It's up to the manager.

Shade

The walls are higher than the boards though. That doesn't make sense. There are a lot of gaps though, which would need to be sorted somehow.

If you’ve forgotten who he was he spent the second half of season before last on loan here from Hull.

Still struggling to remember him...

Ronda. Imagine playing a friendly up there! Epic. In February a couple of mates and I stayed in a converted farm house at the bottom of the cliff below the view points. The scenic viewpoint lookout spots gathered quite a crowd to look down at out Mölkky matches. Walk up to town and back was a kille...

Cundy, 28, made 10 starts and 5 sub appearances last season. Before that, he made 60 appearances since the start of the 20/21 season. So 75 appearances out of something like 200 games over 4 seasons. Has been sent out on loan 8 times and released 4 times.

Shade

I think the Savage thing is balls, tbh. He knows Mark Bowen from Wales going way back to the 90's. They could have been meeting about anything. Football chat or just a catch up. Savage only just signed a new 2 year deal as Macc manager and, as mentioned is director there. Whereas there's no rule say...

Shade

What surprise, the scabs at Shrewsbury are at it again.

Shade

Where is this Savage story coming from? I haven't seen anything about it and I thought he was all-in with Macclesfield. It'll be hilarious watching it fall apart at FGR. Again.

Southwood failed at League 1 then?

Confirmed by JP.

I disagree that the defence was utter shite. Utter shite don't win player of the season. Utter shite don't hold there own in L1. The shear number of individual errors (by all team members) is what cost us. I imagine most season ticket holders were have preferred to build on last season with a solid...

Shade

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

Shade

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 ...

Shade

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 ...

Shade

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 ...
