It seems his contract had the provision for 6 months pay in lieu of notice if he resigned, and 12 months if he was sacked. Apparently Chris Patten had to make an informed decision as to which clause applied in this case, and settled for the latter to avoid any legal / tribunal complications.

Is that the polite way of saying "F()ck off, you've been taking the p!ss far too long" ?

I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned before on this thread

No chance, the Gazette is a typical local agenda driven rag, but even they have some integrity.

The 2 key milestones in the administration are : (1) They will have to go back to court in February for permission to extend the process, if denied they have to liquidate, and (2) they cannot start next season in the same administration, the Football League will expel them. Other than that I assume if they exit admin after the end of this season they would start the next one with -10, the wording of the FL clause is that it is applied at the point they exit the administration.

We were generally better at the back, ( except ofor ur obligatory 'suicide' moment ), and the midfield were much more in control with Cork replacing Davis. However, Adam is getting a reputation as a 'Suarez', and Rickie seems to lack confidence - regardless of letting in the goal we really should have been scoring 2 or 3 against that team, and the way we played in the first few games I think we would have. We seemed to completely bottle things when we took the lead. Rather than close the game out by pushing for #2 we sat back and invited them on. I also thought Puncheon had one of his better games for us.

Having watched the Newsnight report, I'm reasonably sure that it didn't give any names, so why is it being castigated now ? They carried allegations about a 'senior political figure', and various other unnamed individuals, but as far as I can see, the actual names came from elsewhere. One thing I seem to remember that the report did say, is that the findings of the, allegedly severely constrained, inquiry into what happened in Wrexham was pulped without it being seen by anybody outside the inquiry board.

No tatoos or piercings, and the only scars I have are the result of accident, incident, or surgery.

Appy was interviewed on Sunday, nothing 'apparently' about it.

Was shown this advert a few minutes ago

Michael Appleton and Karl Oyston didn't get off to the best of starts :

Ince to ManUre in January is the rumour

Same as Hollowhead, but I suspect a lot cheaper. Anyway, if I spot him at work tomorrow, what do I say to him ?

From the Tangerines forum : "#baldheadedtwunt" ( He's obviously very impressed with Karl's latest signing. )

Confirmed by BFC apparently - a one year rolling contract

From a Tangerines fans forum: "Whats the hype about Michael Appleton? Hes' done nothing" "Clues to who the new manager is.... 1.Anagram of his surname is Notapple 2.He has an anoying Lancashire accent 3.He is a Nob Ender 4.His record at A south coast club is dire" ( Note : a 'Nob Ender' means a former Preston player ) "Dire? its worse than that..." "What has Appleton achieved in management?"

It also reads poorly however it is written

So presumably you were impressed by Ed Milliband delivering his conference speech without electronic aids, script, or cue cards.

"Pull into Paradise..."

I think they have to go back to court in February.

Apparently Poopey want £200k compensation, Karl has offered £50k.

But most of them were by Davis and went straight to a WBA player.

[h=2]I would be happy if we went down...[/h] because whatever else, I still wouldn't be a skate.

If he gets that many he'll need 3 wins. Problem is I don't think he knows how to fix things.
