It's crazy that we have a keeper of his quality as a backup. brilliant news though, was getting a bit worried that we hadn't heard anything.

That's quality.

for being skate ****s, should come with a compulsorily 25 pt deduction.

according to some Reading fans, we have indeed bid 500k for Antonio. i doubt we'll get both though, surely it's 1 or the other?

****s. That's all there is to say. watch them now go out of admin, start buying players and win promotion. For all the utter ******** that they have done over the last few years, they have just been given help and support all the way. Sick

Great thread pilchards - nice job

quite worried tbh, this injury isn't going away...

I think in the main, he spent his budget in January, they did release a big kitty for him to use for the likes of Punch, Fonte, Seaborne, Barnard - bids for Stock/Danns/Ward etc. We'll probably get in a couple of loans, but i have a hunch that the players were interested in either cost too much in fee or wages and Nicola is not budging on it.

....but it's not working yet. Lots of errors coming up.

Decent idea this, especially for the people who are unable to get to the matches as regularly they like. There are always requests on here after games for people after a programme. Doesn't really affect me as i often buy the programmes at the ground, but i can see this being a very popular service overall.

Kind of feel the same too, i'm actually a bit apprehensive for the entire season. I really want us to do well and believe we have the tools to do so, but then so did leeds the past 3 seasons and they never looked convincing. They only just made it this year. I just can't wait for the opening few weeks to be done with so we can get a sense of the potential season. It's important to have a good start, but i don't think you can read too much until after 6 or so games - the table is a bit of a mish mash before then.

The opening statement sums up the clueless nature of your posts. Just over-reacting certain points to exaggerate your opinion. Dickson agreed to join in May/June, Butterflied and Richardson joined during the first week or so of pre-season.

Matthew: We're going to pause live coverage until something happens at the High Court. Any updates will be posted here and on Twitter. boooo

[Comment From tim tim : ] why didnt hmrc hand the paperwork in earlier. are they panicing yes! that must be it

Would be nice to see some evidence behind it, but it wouldn't really surprise me in the slightest.

i was hoping they'd have done away with him before now anyway!

you'd be the first one to start a reactionary thread if one of our first team were injured in this game tbf alps.

that's what i thought, but i'm not sure what else we expected tbh. You couldn't expect the likes of barnard/fonte/jaidi/harding/dickson etc to play again, just 2 days after their last match, in the buildup to the first game of the season. and it's also sensible not risking the likes of lambo/morgan and co. Always had a feeling this would be a saints XI game.

why?

Just to bump this one back, this is one thing i'm not so sure about Duncan. Nicola and Markus want the best for this football club, i have no reason to doubt that at all. They have invested money and time in planning the redevelopment here. All i've ever questioned is the way Nicola, in particular, has gone about certain aspects of the restructuring process. I think this image on his company home page sum's the guy up passionate and wanting to show off his new purchase. Doesn't really strike me as someone that's looking to sell off asap. (look at his tie). That image is new as well, only came on there within the last 4/5 months.
