In regards to cancelling, it says in the T&C: IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION CONVERTED INTO A PAID SUBSCRIPTION, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SERVICE BEFORE THE END OF YOUR TRIAL SUBSCRIPTION BY CALLING (866) 308-5684 OR BY CANCELING IN THE BILLING INFORMATION SECTION OF YOUR WWE NETWORK ACCOUNT. So it looks like you can cancel online. As for being locked out of content, I'd say it's unlikely but I suppose it is possible. On the other hand a 6 month sub is still only around £38 so probably a risk worth taking...

The WWE Network launched today. Technically only available in the US but rumour has it if you enter a US State when putting in your details you can still access it free trial currently on for 7 days.

I remember him posting during the days I lurked, but not since I started posting regularly. His unique posting style certainly stood out. My condolences to his family and friends.

I notice Pablo Piatti scored as Valencia ended Barca's unbeaten home record... Remember when we were linked to him?

Absolutely bonkers. Eagles and Mears are at best Championship level players, Wheater arguably the same these days and N'Gog has never even come remotely close to fulilling the potential that persuaded Liverpool to buy him. As for Beckford being on 40k p/w at Leicester... words fail me. No wonder the game is in such a mess.

Another SEM success story.

Point 1: This plan would have been approved by the Bolton board though, no? Us and Wigan are nowhere near Bolton's level of debt after all - though we're edging closer to it thanks to the loons. Point 2: I'd be surprised if there were many teams in the Championship with a bigger debt than Bolton. QPR may come close but other than that? Point 3: From recollection those guys weren't hugely expensive so their wages and signing on fees must have been absolutely ridiculous.

That really is shocking. Wtf have they spent so much on? I can't remember them splashing those levels of cash around, although from memory the likes of Elmander were pretty expensive (and awful).

There are very few other clubs in the type of debt Bolton are in, as far as I'm aware anyway. I agree that clubs like ours have little choice but to overspend a little to try and compete but Bolton have clearly gone off the deep end financially.

Don't understand the "hacked into your account" comment, my point was that Bolton have clearly adapted a poor business model which has left them in horrific debt and that was based on staying in the Premiership forever. If you think that was a smart move then OK, but I certainly don't. If the choice is ending up with an ungodly amount of debt or playing in the Championship (considering the club is likely to end up there anyway) I know what the right business decision would be. As has been mentioned by others in this thread, we did OK before Venky's came in and were nowhere near those levels of debt. We still aren't even with everything Venky's have done in the last 3 years.

I don't follow Gartside's argument that being in the Prem for 11 years and then getting relegated is the reason for their financial problems. That's 11 seasons of very healthy television money, 11 seasons of decent prize money and 11 seasons of Premier League sponsorship money. Whilst the FA have plenty to answer for in relation to English football finances I don't think they or the Prem are to blame for Bolton's horrendous debt level. They've spent beyond their means and adhered to an unsustainable business model, it's not much more complicated than that. If they couldn't afford to spend the money they should have kept it within the club and if that meant relegation a few seasons sooner then so be it - the fans would likely be angry at "lack of investment" but is £150M+ debt a better alternative? Seems to me that Bolton's owner gambled the club's financial health on perpetual Premier League survival, which is obviously not a sound strategy for a club the size of Bolton.

I think WWE has been awful for some time tbh. It was alright around WM season last year but the "authority" storyline with HHH/Stephanie is just bad TV. Their PPV numbers are in steep decline which is no surprise, and the ratings have dipped below 3.0 consistently for some time now which is also a tell-tale sign that people are losing interest in what is a stale and largely disappointing product. There is still some decent stuff - the Shield are good and Goldust coming back and looking great has been fun. Bryan and Punk continue to impress despite not really doing anything important. But come on, Orton Vs Big Show as the Survivor Series main event? Cena Vs Orton for the millionth time? There is such a lack of fresh ideas at the top of the card and every time a break out star seems to be coming to break the autonomy at the top (from recent memory Punk, Bryan, Ziggler) their pushes are sabotaged and they soon return to playing second fiddle to Cena, Orton and Triple H. That cycle needs to end for WWE to improve.

Kurt Angle works for TNA so unless he gets fired within the next two months it's unlikely he'll be showing up! Plus he's been in rehab recently for numerous DUI charges so not sure WWE would want to touch him at the moment.

This is a bit of a strange perception, isn't it? You state the majority are wrong in believing Battersby and Currie can do anything to save the club, then use what you perceive to be an error to endorse a viewpoint. Baffling.

Considering he's trying to take the club away from Venky's it wouldn't make much sense for him to say the opposite and upset them even more, would it? They don't talk to him as it is, if he started endorsing conspiracy theories he could well and truly forget it.

Unfortunately certain people are itching for it to do so. Not sure how anybody could possibly feel anything other than constant contempt and hatred for Venky's. They've inflicted enough damage on this club to last a lifetime, and may well have ruined the possibility of a lot of young lads having a proper local team to support in future. Dissipating ill feeling? Never.

He'l have to be patient and wait a few years then.

I don't want Ali at the club in any role. I don't care if it's a coach of a @#/? ballboy. He has no business at this club. If he wants to start a coaching career I'm sure there are some non-league clubs who would give him some work experience. He can start there instead of using personal influence to get a role he's completely unqualified for here.

Oh it definitely isn't. I knew the silence had been stretching on for too long. Venky's have clearly been itching to do something stupid and apparently can't wait much longer.

Seemed like a normal enough poster up until recently, seemed to go right off the deep end. Odd.

If he was an animal he would have been put down by now.

It'll go 3 or 4 rounds max imo, can't see Floyd allowing it to go any further.

Khan set to fight Floyd Mayweather on May 3rd. A total mismatch imo but win-win for Khan. He'll get an absolute fortune and even if he totally embarrasses himself people will say "well, it was Mayweather" and think no less of him. It's not like he'll be ranked any lower if he loses and there's always the chance of a lucky punch.

An interesting story coming out of this one, apparently this is essentially a firing being masqueraded as a retirement. At a recent WWE event Ric Flair got a little crazy (there's a shock) and embarrassed the company. J.R. was "in charge" of overseeing things and apparently Vince was so irritated at this incident he's essentially terminated J.R.'s contract.

I reckon he'll be back for some one-off gigs. Retirement is very rarely permanent in wrestling!
