Don't know and don't care, a severe disappointment this season. I would rather have had whatever we could have got for him,Lallana,Skacel,BWP,Dyer,Euell and Saganowski in January. Be it just a million for all of them. The team wouldn't have been much worse, we'd probably have gotten relegated anyway but we wouldn't be in administration and we wouldn't be starting in League 1 on -10

2 wins doesn't mean we avoid relegation at all. In fact we could win 2 and still have a 50% chance (or so) of going down. 50 points may come up short.

We will get tonked, Burnley are a very good side; Chris Eagles will be our undoing. Man U reject but a bloody good one.The sort of player we should have been looking at instead of wasting all that money on..well you know who I mean.

Because they thought it was a matter for law and lawyers and sharp wangling. The Football League is the epitomy of Old England, all that counts for nothing. It's like joining some elite golf club, you can be the flashest,richest, most worthy guy but if your wife farts at the ladies luncheon you get blackballed, no question about it.

Barclay's screw up in their assessment and get shafted ?? Love it, made my day. Where is OBS lately, perhaps his revered employers have told him to STFU.

I think if you look at my postings on A-day you'll see that I was in no doubt whatsoever that we would get-10. I even didn't travel over for the Charlton game because of it, just bought my ticket and gave it a miss .'game for nothing' was my appraisal I think.

I believe at least one of the old lags will be lurking in those two candidate consortia. Crouch is my favourite for that role. He just won't leave it alone. looking forward to next season though -10 is nothing.

Our best ploy is to appeal pleading 'exceptional circumstances' ie our players were a lot crappier than we first thought.

they could have asked me, what'smore I wouldn't have charged them £2000 an hour for listening to their problem and giving advice.

Give a little bit to the government as well,very patriotic. But it's better than giving direct, someone will get to see the game who might not have done otherwise. Pity we waited until the end of the season.

And as the old adage says Cheaters never Prosper. Well they do but not as far as the Football League is concerned. The Football League is enrooted in old England, fair play, respect for the other chap, it's the taking part that counts etc, Trickery and Trumpery are always sanctioned in Old England, although under New Labour Anything Goes is more appropriate.

Yes but I'll send him my 50p directly.

Strange, they're supposed to be pro football administrators and yet it was obvious to me, a science wallah, that we'd get -10. I just can't see how they came to that conclusion. The League ALWAYS deducts points because they are absolutely against financial and legal jiggery pokery by Oright Tonys from Basildon and their cohorts. The club created the debts ,the PLC assumed them, if you can't see that you need locking up in Moorgreen or something.

Nope, no money from me for Skacel,Barclays, the Plod,paying David Jones or the other accountant wallah,BWP,Euell or Wayne Thomas.

Washing his car on St George's Day, I think that by some antique byelaw or other you can get hung drawn and quartered for that.

All of the promotion spend and more was recovered from player sales in the close season afterwards,we even made money on the affair, it's not what we spent but what we got for our money that's the problem. The real culprits are people like Idiakiez,Jesus, Vignal,even Claus, vast sums of money for absolutely sod all result because they just didn't play every game ,week in week out but took us for massive amounts of money all the same. You look at Lloyd James, he's played what 38 games or so this season on 3K (or less) a week,you take Vignal 23 games for a year at 10K (or more) a week. At the end of the day the result is about the same,give or take 4 points (which make a difference of course) the difference in cost is enormous. 520K against 150K.

someone would always find new loopholes to get round the system. If the same system was strictly applied European football would become more interesting as you wouldn't have 3 clubs who have the biggest debt in the semis of the Champions League every year .It would perhaps become as before with finals of Steua Bucharest against Schalke 04 for instance (don't know if that ever happened).

But that's what the league say isn't it. SLH is solvent but dragged down by the debts and losses of it's wholly owned subsidary SFC Ltd. That line of argument makes our case even worse. It's a fair cop, we just need to accept it and move on.

Eucalypta? quite apt really, Paulus the Woodgnome was a dutch thingy.

Heaven forbid the the football league ever adopt the French system though. All clubs have to subject their accounts to the DNCG (Direction Nationale de Controle et Gestion) and if you're bad boys you get relegated, or not promoted. If you're not really bad but not so good either they oversee recruitment or stop it altogether until you get your act together. That's why French football is only good on a national level and the clubs, even the best are zero on a European level.You just can't owe money, the DNCG won't have it unless some rich entity underwrites a guarantee for the debt.For many year Monaco were outside the scope of the DNCG, they got to the European cup final on 6000 home gates, when their finances were scrutinised by the DNCG they escaped relegation on the last day of the season and had their recruitment restricted for the following year.Stasbourg didn't want to sell Schneiderlin (apparently) but the DNCG told them to get 6 million euros in sharpish or be retrograded to the National League (D3) immediately after being relegated from the first division.They sold all their decent players but look like going straight back up anyway. Imagine if the Football league could make you sell players to balance your budget.

10 guineas from here on, got to buy some hi-tech buckets.

As I said yesterday, I just wish the guy would can it from time to time.

A penalty? we'd probably miss it anyway.

I just wish they'd all left last summer, like the plan.
