  1. I didn't know that ! Seems even the great have their bad moments
  2. Well your learning some ammo to give them back then, there's plenty believe me !
  3. Crack me up these Dingles with all this sugar daddy stuff ignoring their own albeit less spectacular investors that have been funding them since Ternant was there. When Jack first took over he injected a million or so to get Mimms, Dobson & Livingstone straight in to help the fight against relegation. These @#/?s won't even do that despite selling enough to cover a years running costs. When Kilby & Ingleby stepped in at Bonleh they gave Ternant 750k to sign one player in Steve Davis which was more than the 75k or so Stan had spent previously in his whole time there. Is that not a bit of sugar daddy stuff right there ?
  4. But you know about Bill Fox who's been gone c25 years yet don't know how the club was run a decade or so ago ? Try harder....
  5. That was loans put in from when Jack was alive and it covered a whole host of stuff, possibly the academy & training ground.
  6. Would that be one of the 7k they used to have or one of the 10k they've recently acquired ?
  7. So we've got 2 in now for the weekly equivalent of one Lowe maybe, the downgraders overseeing our shambles will love it. Hopefully though we now have a manager who can see us through it and actually pair suitable people together in key areas within his budget. Never happened since Allardyce that, here's hoping.
  8. The officials over there certainly have it in for Krusher that's for sure although he's now had 2 stabs at Ward and not been able to KO him so i'd move on if I were him. As for Smith you can see now why he got that fight and why they wanted him it was all nicely set up to make their lad look good. Crafty matchmaking hoping to earn the German other title shots, he looks handy but Groves will smash him. Smith himself knew after a couple of rounds he could handle that lad so he just decided to plod and survive the 12 maybe hoping for a big punch but with no intention whatsoever of leaving it all in the ring in his last undeserved big fight. Just a nice paycheque for him and if he fights again I hope it's at a circus for charity or something the fat waster. He was wiped out by Degale & Groves at British level I think years ago so that says all about his standing over here never mind at world level. If he's made any money out of boxing he's a very very fortunate guy.
  9. Paul Smith though ? hell fire talk about friends in the right places !
  10. Got to admit I wasn't keen on Ward a few years ago although he's always been a great technician at what he does however since he went up in weight and brings it on a bit more I appreciate what he's all about. I'm a fan of Kovalev he's a bit like a bigger version of Froch lol more technique than he's got credit for but Ward took over second half of their fight really and if he can't get him out in about 8 this time I really think Ward might stop him late. I'm going KO either way in this one
  11. The fact so many are on here discussing it when other boxing matches go by every week with little or no mention shows what it's all about. Its a farce but we'll all watch it. Floyd will look to coast to a 12 round unanimous decision whilst McGregor will look to survive it, all friends at the end back slapping and praising each other and all well in the dollars whilst mug punters worldwide moan how @#/? it was. By the way there is a REAL top boxing match this weekend involving arguably two pound for pound contenders = Ward v Kovalev !
  12. Issue a bit of bad news then shares fall so they buy a load back with personal money via 3rd party knowing they'll fly up again when financials are announced or something then sell. Play your own company Monopoly type game and fill your own pockets
  13. If there isn't a sale process being put in place it would be nice if they come up with a hit list of fingers in the till names and go after them instead.
  14. The way he's been let go quietly but confidently he must have something lined up and the silence leads me to think it's another local club that's why I said Bolton. Poss even North End there's been a lot of smoke about them coming in for one of ours.
  15. Ball winner, driving force, anchor man, leader, legend, Just a selection of how he'll end up getting remembered by a few of the usual suspects around December if we are struggling and he's making cameo appearances somewhere
  16. If Venkys managed Elton he'd be driving himself to every gig in a Nissan micra with his piano on an old wooden trailer yet they'd rent him Blenheim Palace to crash out in.and pay his roadie more than him because a mate told them he was the best roadie ever. Crackpots
  17. If only he was there 6 years ago ..........
  18. I don't need to ask any boxing fan pal I am one and have been 25+ years and have seen many HW fights live including fighters like Mike Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis etc so what we have here is my opinion and your opinion. You'd be surprised how many don't rate Fury that highly although it's not to say he isn't a good fighter who looked to be getting better. Right now Joshua has the tools to smash someone like Fury out the ring Fury has never come up against anyone like him & vice versa. He's deceptively quick to close the ring down when he attacks and has fast hands but obviously he's raw. 19 fights that's why he hasn't fought anyone and don't talk to me about the likes of Cunningham & Johnson who Fury had probs with, look at their records i'm pretty sure some of Joshuas opponents could handle that pair. Also it's not always about AJ v Fury that's social media kids stuff there's room at the top for both and anyone who Fury might fight outside of Wlad who I've always been a fan of and AJ then i'd be wanting him to win. Admittedly can't stand the jerk or his crew and at the end of the day the guy turned out to be a coked up possible roid user and there's obviously some good reason they aren't lifting his suspension despite time served and it isn't the bull victimisation crap that Warren & Uncle Peter try and portray. By the time he comes back who knows what'll be left ? But if he does come back let him prove all this mythical nonsense by taking on and beating top opponents not pretending he dances like the next Ali when infact he's done nothing except pull off a one off the likes of which have happened regularly throughout Heavyweight history. Anyway I think it' destined to be another Bowe v Lewis - it'll never come off.
  19. Based on what ???? Oh yes ONE decent career performance against an ageing flat footed champ who had a bad night then had a good one and got battered
  20. Never in a hundred years will Fury take a piledriver or 3 from AJ I can see it in him his legs have stiffened a few times never mind when he was decked by not big punchers. However he might well bust Joshua up if he can avoid big shots for 6/7 rounds which in my opinion he won't. Keep In mind it was just Joshuas 19th fight so yes he showed a lot of naivety but by the time this fight comes around he should have ironed that out meanwhile Fury might well have been out over 2 years. It'll be like starting over again and i'm not sure what kind of shape either physically or mentally he'll achieve again after that lay off and being likely wrong side of 30. Aj might look like Bruno by he's borrowed tools from Lennox & Iron Mike, he nearly fell into the trap of letting Wlad dictate whereas Fury never let him so I can see he putting it on Fury from the off so it's an interesting one and I hope it happens but I genuinely doubt it ever will. Besides they've both got to remain unbeaten I suppose and the way AJ goes at it I reckon there might be an upset somewhere there's some big punchers out there. I see the same with Fury unless they fast track him into the winner of the Wlad / AJ rematch.
  21. Cannot stand the guy but Groves deserves his title at last and just like Bruno proved if you keep going eventually you'll come across a limited beatable opponent in a title fight. McCuigan has done a good job with Groves, the tools were always there and George might reign for a while now until he comes against a top notch fighter who can punch.
  22. Well the 2 mill per annum it probably costs to run could make a nice difference invested into the first team at this level for sure. That's why the only reason i see them really persisting with it is to soley replace buying players by fast tracking our own ready or not. Far easier to operate that model in this div than any higher, or so they'll have been 'advised'.
