Mike was the reason I support CAFC. Coming from a Hammers family, they were my team, however my old man who was the one Addick in the fold, took me occasionally and I had a soft spot for CAFC but no more. As my old man was a mate of Mike's - they were fellow Rotarians - when Mike joined the...

Fifa are wrong and it's a pretty ignorant stance but... since when did this huge embroidered poppy thing on the shirt become sacrosanct? Call me old fashioned but I prefer a dignified laying of a poppy reef in the centre circle and a minutes silence. I wear my poppy with the utmost pride but I...

Yes but Moneyball was about using stats to create a winning side. RD seems to be in some kind of totally bizarre 'look how smashing my balance sheet and P&L look and damn the results' gig. Notwithstanding the fact that he has to capitalise £50m which utterly discredits his operating accounts...

If I may, my only observation is we have easily the best PR'd and impactful anti owner protest group of the five or six clubs that are owned by arseholes (Leeds, Blackpool, Blackburn etc). And that is because of the agitprop abilities of the CARD lot. I generally vote Tory but you have to say...

From skimming through it seems this supposed bid/ money is Israeli? Oh that would be fantastic - how to tie your average CARD protagonist in knots. I mean I assume some pretty robust pro Palestinian sentiment exists there..

I'm a sinister message board voyeur - generally just read them all but if I really want to say anything I come on here because it is easily the most balanced. I can genuinely say no-one really winds me up because whilst I love CAFC and am devastated at the current plight and detest these owners...

The winner is by RD today by a country mile - apologies if this has come up elsewhere but his rationale behind stopping a foreign bid for St Trudien (apparently Varney according to Everitt) surely belongs here: 'Look at England where foreign owners aren't always successful as they don't...

... was presenting last time I listened to Pick of the Pops 2. I mean you listen to Talk Sport or radio 5 on a Saturday don't you? But I am desperately trying to inoculate myself against any sport broadcasting because when they stop talking about Palarse in the cup final they talk about the...

Has Jason Euell got enough badges yet? Just asking because if they want popular and cheap and from in the network - and also a PR coup then Euell with JJ as player coach is blindingly obvious to me. Not saying I want it - I wouldn't be upset but too big a leap of faith against the likes of...

The only explanation for a CEO of this staggering unprofessionalism and ineptitude to remain in situ is that she is actually very capable and is there to execute a strategy of taking as much value as possible out of the business. Real estate is the only reason I can think of for such a strategy...

I feel such despair it is really horrible. No manager, network or not can even come close to doing a competent job under Duchatalet. I now think that there is little doubt we will go straight down to div 4 under this regime. Before I would have said that for effect but now I think it is the only...

Henderson for me for abovementioned reasons and for having the balls, dignity and professionalism for giving the Huddersfield interview while that Belgian interloper was crying on the coach.

I wouldn't believe me either as I cannot substantiate it! Source is quite plausible and stacks up - I work in M&A intelligence and a journo on our Benelux desk said there was movement out of Douche's advisers. But then he knows how desperate I am for this to happen and may have been indulging...

You might add Riga. Least worst option from the damned network he might be but turning their back on one last chance to appoint a Championship/English football savvy manager at that point was just the most disgraceful hubris. #Warnock #Johnson

I have from a strong source that Duchatalet put us on the block today. Can't substantiate it and it might be a crock of ****, but if true I can claim the scoop!
