I agree when talking about an absolute amount of effort. However.... You start off with a bucket of sand. I then give you another 2 buckets, making 3 buckets. How much more sand do you have now than when you started, as a percentage?

My 'reading-between-the-lines' understanding is that it was Barclays who decided what date to pull the plug, rather than Lowe. Not sure how much 'power' he had to influence Barclays to pull the plug a week earlier though....anyone?

As this is football, one is duty bound to use a percentage in excess of 100....(as in "Rooney gave 120% out there today").....so, I'll go for 170%

But haven't we already suffered 'punishment' for our overspending? Our relegation is a direct result of the cut-back countermeasures put in place last season to tackle the debt. I acknowledge that the FL's rulkes don't differentiate between clubs that are/were trying to address their financial plight and those that plough on regardless but, as you say, looking at it objectively, we have not gained from going into debt, quite the opposite. And the FL rules are there to counter "gain", aren't they? In fact, the FL rules give no incentive to a club to try and rescue itself.

Does it mention what time? thx

:confused:..

Dainty Dave?

I don't even have a clue which stick to pick up, let alone which end to hold

Thanks. Keep us posted re: the answer to your follow up email...i.e. "Dear Football League. Thank you for your email. I would be grateful if you could actually address the specific points I raised in my original email. Thank you."

Which is odd. because last week I'm sure there was a quote in the media associated to MLT which said KK was second choice...? Time to give up trying to follow this plot me thinks

That's assuming we haven't missed a deadline for entering that league of course....

So, in other words, the Iranians haven't pitched up yet then?

Been away over the weekend. Which of the 37 takeover related threads is the best one to read to catch up on the state of play?

Oh well, perhaps "celebration" was a tad premature....now it's a call to arms to show the Football League our passion for this club! Come down to the Four Horseshoes at Nursling this afternoon/evening and sing your hearts out! COYR!! This was a blatent plug on behalf of the COAST party! p.s. How do you make a Swiss roll?

Fulthorpe?

I thought that had already passed? At 7pm? Or did I misread that somewhere?

Can't we do both? i.e. sign what they want to get us over this immediate hurdle and then get it retracted in retrospect?

Sign what FL disclaimer and take the 10 points. This can still be challenged in court later under the Fair Contracts Act.

Was just about to post the same. Emergency = 3 days time...? Emergency my arse!

Ditto....they've got to call the FL's bluff here....sign what they want and challenge later

Let's do what Ferrari, McClaren, Brawn have done and set up our own F***ing league with rules that help members rather than F***ing F*** them up. FFS

FFS....sign what the Football League want now and challenge it later....if the football league are being unreasonable and/or illegal then they can be brought to book in retrospect. FFS
