Dack's said the images he posted of a frog and cup of coffee had nothing to do with Wigan.

...and the EFL would rather open the door to them than billionaires with ambition.

Where did I say he owned them? I'm quite aware of that though wasn't aware they had another takeover just weeks ago! More brilliant EFL work. Perhaps if they spent less time bullying genuinely rich owners at crooked UEFA's behest takeovers like this and Charlton wouldn't happen.

Thanks to Whelan's shamelessly hypocritical support of FUP they will probably find it harder to find a buyer. Guess what goes around comes around.

What policy was that? He had a "no stars" policy at Newcastle/Everton but that was in a higher division.

Athletic Bilbao rarely pay transfer fees due to their policy of only signing basque players. Never been relegated from La Liga. I'm not interested in a "locals only" policy but with FUP what's the point in spending transfer fees? Sign players with edgier personalities, give them freedom and who's to say it wouldn't work? Bilbao manage it with such a limited catchment area compared to all of Europe like most clubs have. You could also have a policy of only signing young players on lengthy contracts. If they refuse to play at some point sue the hell out of them. Nobody would join under such circumstances? Who knows? Clubs should do things on their own terms only (those not crippled by FUP aside) and sometimes that's worth more than any transfer fee.

I was surprised that Man United of all clubs offered refunds. Shame really considering most of their fans are lowlifes.

Then make it virtually free and be radical. Do anything and I mean virtually ANYTHING for publicity. It's either that or be a boring low profile club with the current league position and FUP.

In more recent years was involved with the Dan Williams takeover bid.

Why should anyone refuse a refund under the current ownership? Granted it's hardly putting money into their pockets.

Considering Dunn's predictable failure as a manager what right has he got to mock other people's methods? Or anything related to fitness for that matter.

Did in League 1 for what that's worth. Hardly surprising with the facilities compared to other clubs in that league who also don't have a room filled with games consoles. Staff were quick to self congratulate.

Have to wonder how the crowed may have responded to Tyson/Jericho pull apart. As someone old enough to have watched the Tyson/Austin incident under similar circumstances it was always going to come across as a weaker imitation especially with no crowd. JR's commentary reflected that as well because it was almost impossible to capture the same intensity as that moment. Jericho's a star but he's not Austin. Tyson is noticeably calmer these days as well (even after his daughter's death) so there's slightly less of an aura there. Of course if you're gonna bring in Tyson it makes sense to have him involved in a confrontation. Perhaps he will be in a match and that will certainly get some publicity.

There's a headline! It's a weird term anyway what's wrong with "looking at" or "interested in"?

...and what about the clubs that had little financial choice in the matter? Of course Venkys probably wouldn't be included in that financial category but it's not like the staff are doing much so why not furlough them? The club has done absolutely zero to gain publicity in the current environment. For me it would be a good excuse to fire some of them and bring in some creative minds to shake things up.

Some people are scared of raising any form of dissent. The morons who tried to disrupt the Kean protests and drove many people away. Granted it's not comparable to that but people know that any form of protest would be treated with derision and threats of violence.

About as fair as UEFA. Man United and Liverpool are on the same page when it suits them. Liverpool actually outdoing Man United fans with their whining about FUP in recent months. Would rather see the season continue in some fashion though (as long as it's finished in 2020) so Liverpool can get closer to reclaiming the most titles record. They were lucky that Rovers were meek enough to accept being robbed of promotion without taking it all the way to CAS and beyond.

Of course you can't trust anything they do but if they aren't gonna sell now when will they? If something happens to Balaji perhaps since he's rumoured to have been the one who wants to keep it? His son would appear to have an interest and perhaps would have a cleaner slate than the rest of the family. Not to mention there was that story about an attempted kidnap on Venkatesh. That's something I would really like to know more about. I doubt 100% that had anything to do with Rovers fans. An opportunist who felt they were idiots and an easy target perhaps? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4480682/Who-guilty-trashing-historic-club-like-Blackburn.html

Mike Tyson will appear live on Dynamite this upcoming week. Rather underwhelming appearance at the PPV but at least it looks like something bigger is planned.

Another reason why Academy is a waste of time.

What did you say when Greer went back to Rovers? Yes the situation had changed considerably at Ewood (and has to an extent at United) but he must have felt somewhat smug about the whole thing. One of my mottos is "never humble yourself" and that's what the club did by letting Greer return. Same reason I was opposed to any Beattie links including when club was still in EPL. King's not good enough (for what they aspire towards) so hopefully will return there.

They can build a modern stadium with some unique elements. Rangers have kept their main stand facade and the corner stairwells may look old but were only built 30 years ago. The new San Siro (they will probably need a sponsor largely thanks to FUP if it isn't crushed by then) could rebuild those concrete towers within a modern design.

Looks like Berg is back on speaking terms with the club again. Did a Youtube interview few days back. Didn't show up at the 2015 reunion.
