sounds like one of Ruperts cohorts

Who has Prior got the runs against? Were they match winning games or when we were knocvking up 500 + against the Windies or Bangladesh? I do recall him having the worst set of wickie figures ever in test history and missing some big catches and stumpings.If he is good enough to bat put him in for that but to risk having a half baked wicket keeper in seems as bad as playing an out of form all rounder

you're a heretic

I expect that the e-mails went straight into the recycle bin by an works experience kid. They are now waiting to be delected along with all the viagara and penis enlargement spam emails.

it was probably the governor to the bank of england again

and legroom in the directors box.

Picking Prior over a specialist wickie is sending the message that our batters are not good enough. I go back to my belief that Foster showed in his stumpings against Idia and West Indies from nothing could win games.That is as effective or even more effective than a hit and miss wickie batsman.

in principle you may be right, to punish us last season and it to move to this season if it didnt relagate us is downright wrong.It is unjust.They should have given us the penalty last season and be done with it.To hold it over if we were relegated (something that basically cost us as with the best will in the world the squad were down) is what I feel is wrong

One thing that is something somebody can clear up, does this statement of not asking for the -10 to be waived tie up with MLTs Sky interview? I cant find Matts bit but I thought the -10 was mentioned.I might be and hope iam wrong.

I take that all on board.I still wonder that to get to where he is in a bid would not cost him personally less than a 5 figure sum.That is alot of money to just serve his ego. As for saying no comment, I expect when he was asked he was unaware of the FL problem for Pinnacle and so the quote was taken hours/day before it became a political issue. My friend I know from his previous deal, is not impressed by him as he strung them along for a couple of months.Why the money did not appear only MJ really knows, was he let down or was it all in his mind?? I know what most feel the answer to that is

thanks for that, still no clearer when we will have the srtress end, but at least we are bing kept informed.

will you say the same of MLT/TL if they fail? If MLT was not fronting Pinnalce (and I have every faith in him) I suggest that bid would be looking a bit odd. It is the first takeover that i can recall where nobody knew who was behind it.If it was Pompey we'd be saying 'dodgy', it is the fact that MLT is there than has made us feel more secure of it. MJ is almost certainly all talk but as i say if the other bids fail we have to hope he has got it right this time.

that is why the club is a bargain investment and so i cant see why there is not more interest. If we got pormoted the investment will get better. Pinacle are hoping for the golden goose and a big crop of eggs in its first batch IMO We should make the play offs even with a minus 10, if the squad is strengthened in the right areas.

your eyesight playing up again MB? I always run to the car to avoid the traffic. I think the person who I spoke with was quite perturbed that there was nothing coming out. In some ways it should be quiet as nothing will happen until the league make their decision.Unless a rival consortuium just pays up and signs immediately no questions asked.That is obviously highly unlikely

the nonsense of playing a batsman wickie does my head in. A piece of magic by a keeper changes games. prior is never likely to do that and he is hardly a consistant bat and not international standard IMO. Foster may not be a great bat but say he scores 15 runs against a 30-40 that prior gets so a negative of perhaps 15-25 an innings (an inexact science of course) but snaffles up Ponting then he is well in credit. To play Prior is the same stupid English thinking that had Geoff Thomas picked ahead of MLT all those years ago.

well there is no news running down the corridors of the club at present.

that's what i thought

I have been assured by people he is a fantacist. Whether he is we wont know for sure unless he is asked to come up with the goods. Fry may just be using him to give others the hurry up, but if Pinnalce and the Swiss do not come forward we have to hope he is indeed the real deal.I dont think we can afford to say the fans dont want him here, beggars cannot be choosers.

i dont think we have any sympathy elsewhere, I also know that people are not at all happy that Stockport have got away with no real penalty to them going into admin.

no idea, they make the rules up as they go. By the time they've gone to the old boys club had a few whiskies, then a long lunch they might finally get around to work some time later today.

Im not qualified for certain but that is the way i see it. Blue square is in a meltdown scenario

Health and safety will be worried as they could take her eyes out.

thats a new name I dont think has been suggested before
