I think it will be 22/23 October. Half term week.

The resources will rival ours if you are talking about money to spend. They have spent it more wisely and able to get a better return on it.

Thomas Cook owed £1.5bn at the end of 2011 after asking £200m from its lenders. Since then the directors have received at least £20m in bonuses, while debt had risen by at least another £200m. A nice gig for the directors while the 9,000 staff have to find new employment and worry about their pension pot.

It’s something we have suffered for the past three seasons. No leading goal scorer and it has a big impact as goals haven’t been taken up elsewhere. We’ve only won 15 games out of the last 60 home games! I don’t expect Adams to suddenly fill that role having not played at this level before. At least his attitude seems to be good and hopefully he can get the goal that can drag the team to play better and not be shy in front of goal.

Yep, that is why you can get some really bad political candidates as MPs. My MP doesn’t live in the constituency and has always voted with the government. Hasn’t represented views of constituents for either education (lowest funded) or Brexit (remain). Talking about votes in parliament, hasn’t Swinson got a bad record considering her liberal stance?

Ok if you have sky. What streams are best and safe?

A truly great supporter of Saints. RIP Leon

He does a few great touches/passes/runs a match which negates the bad stuff it seems. Henderson gets credit for running around a lot and playing for Liverpool. Not sure about Rice, perhaps too early to tell but haven’t seen anything of international quality. The midfield got dominated most of the game.

Unfortunately there is no credible opposition with Corbyn too left wing and flip flopping all over the place, he’ll still lose to this incompetent rabble currently in charge whenever the election is likely to be.

So plenty of rest and no injuries to players but lack of match fitness?

I’m sure there will plenty of added time!

Do you know who owns Gigg Lane and any covenants on it?

They could go before the 12th. Head of the supporters group puts saving the club at 50/50.

Greed and owner/recruitment incompetence are the main reasons for any club being liquidated. When Blackwell was manager of Bury for the start of 13/14 season, the recruitment was so disorganised trying to get players in and although no fees paid, salaries were too high considering the number of players recruited. I’m only surprised the club lasted this long.

Unfortunately both owners are money grabbing ****s. Phoenix clubs would be the best bet, but then it would be highly likely the new clubs couldn’t afford to buy the grounds. Weak governance from the football league and their rules for the golden share hasn’t helped.

Agree. If Martial is out, that is a benefit as he’s one that has performed well. They are not the force they once were and our guys should want the chance to beat United.

What! When do you think they will get promoted?

I thought I read it also depends on other transfers occurring further up the food chain. But it seem strange if for the sake of an additional contract clause a player that is seen as important to be competitive in the PL is missed. The down side of course is whether they turn out to be more Hoedt than van Dijk.

Technical ability will be missed but mental fortitude? These days if the player isn’t a ‘team player’ it can be counter productive especially for mid table sides when team performance is key to beating better sides and those of equal ability .

Please let it be true.

His first two seasons at Sunderland were 13th and 10th I believe. Depends on who he can bring in transfer wise. They desperately need a striker for one and there is only 3.5 weeks left.

When the fun stops... it’s too fücking late!

Squad is light for midfielders, even accounting for Armstrong.

Sounds like an admin role... getting the mail, organising meetings and rooms!
