A bit like life outside the premiership then?

I was going to say that he's probably got something up his sleeve before realising that he doesn't have any long enough....

Are you suggesting that Mr Lowe wasn't forward planning....?

Anyone know what time the Football League meeting is tomorrow and thus when we can expect an announcement, if any? Cheers

I don't want to talk about it.

I notice that the the 'investor' pages on the OS have been blocked rather than updated....

In typical FA/Football League fashion, aren't the 'black and white' rules undermined somewhat by the "we reserve the right to make things up as we go along" clause that they slipped into the 'rules' after Derby exploited a similar loophole?

Interesting spot....no doubt just a coincidence....

Their chairman stated on their OS a week or so ago that we defaulted on a "six-figure" payment for McGoldrick last month. Latest NC fan gossip: http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=2126393829

What time is the Football League meeting tomorrow?

I was led to believe that the 'Football Club' wasn't (currently) affected by the collapse of the PLC, so not sure why it wouldn't be 'business as usual' for the football club. Isn't this what the Football League will expect to see if they are to be convinced that the PLC and Football Club are indeed separate when it comes to Administration? Who wrote the chairman's programme notes this week?

What did Ken have to say in his programme notes?

Sorry, I don't have any details. Just an obscure hunch as I could never work out why we played a hush-hush game against a Hungarian side who (if memory serves me correctly) were owned/part-owned by some (supposedly) rich Hungarians. There was also speculation at the time that the game was arranged at SMS at very short notice to show a potential investor around the ground. Of course, one of the flaws in this hunch is that Ujpest were also forging a working relationship with Wolves at the time but not sure how far down that road they went (I'd of course be able to shed more light on that if I had a scanner up in the loft) So, just pure speculation on my part (just for once!)

Ujpest?

Can I blow my own trumpet?

Cheers! Look forward to his programme notes (assuming he writes them himself of course.... )

What if the administrators go bust whilst administrating someone else?

What are you wearing on your legs today?

Administrators OUT!

Morton's Fork

I have been wondering what scenario is financially more rewarding for an administrator. i.e. do they get more money out of a long drawn out affair or from a swift conclusion? As I understand it, Administrators are profit making organisations like any other company so I've neverquite understood how they rationalise their performance with their shareholders vs the companies they are trying to save and/or wind-down. Would be interested to know what scenario typically makes them most money. p.s. was it Barclays who chose which Administrators to use or is that decided by some sort of LSE panel?

The administrators were quite clear in the press conference yesterday that there were only two people remaining on the FOOTBALL CLUB board....namely David Jones and this other chap.

Either the Football Club is a separate operation to the PLC, and thus running under clearly separate, visible and unambiguous boardroom personnel, or it's not....? Won't the Football League be asking questions of this vein when they convene to decide our fate next Tuesday? A lack of clarity in who is heading up the Football Club board won't do our points saving case any favours, will it?
