    I think that this is the case.

    Wigan Ladies & Girls WFC.

    Interesting debate. The existing setup had an opportunity to become a part of the club some 20 years ago and voted against it, mainly because it would mean the leadership of it would have to have stepped aside, something they were against at that time. It is a difficult balancing act between...

    SPANIARDS BID REJECTED

    A few questions, if I may. 1. What is your source? 2. Where is your proof on such matters? I see a fair amount of posting but nothing substantial. I also find it amazing that you've knocked Jay Whittle who's had the vast majority of people involved with the process on. I doubt you'd have...

    Naismith

    Kal Naismith was very much criticised for his early performances and has grown I to being a very decent player for us. His willingness to do a job for the team has endeared him to the fans. The issues we are all overlooking is we aren't taking into account that they're human just as we are -...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    What concerns me about a January decision is that we will have a short space of time without Matty Palmer, Curtis Tilt, Darnell Johnson, Viv Solomon - Otabor, Will Keane and Dan Gardner - they're only signed until January, with varying dates that they leave the club. What is interesting is...

    Garner, so long then

    Garner wasn't a player I think anyone really wanted here in the first place and Kyle Joseph has done okay given his tender years. I can understand in a way what he has done, however if I was a manager at another club, seeing a combative forward who isn't up for the fight wouldn't be high on my...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    To clarify the situation as I know that there's a lot of moving parts to these matters - 1. The company has submitted a bid to the Administrator, which then in turn is assessed by the EFL, in accordance with their terms. 2. EFL then makes a decision based upon the evidence submitted, I...

    Currently we have a Category 2 Academy. The following diagram is an example of how the FA expect a Category 2 Academy to be set up. Red roles = senior management of club, Dark Blue = Full Time Employees, Light Blue = Part Time Employees.

    DW Stadium-Tenant

    We are not the tenants. The ground is currently held by the Administration, as it is part of the Football club and principally also was the other land and holdings therein, some of which (Euxton, Sharpeys (although that building was separated from the initial holding co, but factored in...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    Well, thank you for that. On the one hand I do feel very suspicious about the English arm as I put it, in particular Contradova, who has some... Odd dealings, I'll say - if Moreno knows about that and ignored it then he's as bad as Choi is and that does concern me. I'm trying, at this stage, to...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    I've seen a lot of speculating as to what the prospective new owners may or may not do, rumour and innuendo is swirling in the air like a dense fog and there's precious few facts to go off. As with the IEC bid, there was quite a bit of information out there and myself and others out there only...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    I've spent the last couple of days going over this thread. Aside from the personal jabs and insults it's been quite interesting. I did my own looking at things and more or less the folks who I went back and forth with on Twitter over the IEC/Philippines links, Au Yeung's dealings etc etc have...

    Your Views on Taking the Knee

    Apparently, we didn't know that black lives mattered, before a multitude of corporations that exploit ethnic minorities for financial gain, professionals in a disproportionate environment to the rest of us and a number of companies who leveraged it to exploit the message told us to. That...

    NEW THREAD FOR ALL THINGS TAKEOVER

    The women's side didn't have any affiliation with the Club. If I recall this correctly people at the Club wanted to install their own coaches and setup, take control of the running of the women's side and those in charge of it didn't want to do that, so we have had this embarrassing impasse...

    Robinson linked with AC Milan

    Italian medicals are really stringent after Davide Astori (Fiorentina's captain at the time) died from heart failure.

    Robinson linked with AC Milan

    Having followed MMA for a good while, it seems like Antonee Robinson has something similar to what has effectively retired a British fighter, Dan Hardy. His condition is called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and can create effectively an extra heart beat on top of your regular cardiac output...

    Windass

    Josh Windass is this squad's equivalent of Lee Ashcroft - obviously talented, when he managed to take his head out from his own backside. I won't miss him.
