    And he has a limp.

    I noticed that on STID 2.

    Only joking. Could not resist.

    I just want them gone now. If FPP will take the club for £5 million (plus loan) and no cash in bank, we can all rejoice, wipe our chops and move on.

    If....

    I hope I'm wrong but I've thought for a while they are going nowhere, never wanted to be wrong as much in my life.

    This thread has gone back in time to when FFP were actively looking to buy the club.

    Is there any evidence that is currently the case and it is back on or is it just 100 people on here hoping it's the case?

    Since that time they've become the biggest investors and have put themselves in a position where they could become owners.

    If they don't want to own the club, at some point, that's a little strange imo ...

    ... oh, and I hope they do.

    Same for me hoping they still see the potential just this whole Corona situation won't be helping much.

    Never know if the mags do get taken over by the savages we have history make them look the "good guys" build a team to beat the head choppers and put them back in their box.

    Yanks coming to do them in their own game <laugh>

    Aye I've had a beer :emoticon-0102-bigsm<cheers>

    There could be a whole controversy about whether the goal that bounced off the inflatable arm was actually a hand ball and shouldn't have stood

    EFL meeting today, season could be officially over by close of business......the club could have a set price on its head (at least for the next 12 months)

    There will be many protests from clubs in and around the top two positions. Even clubs in the playoffs will have something to shout about. I looked at the table this morning since out defeat and had forgotten what a DIRE situation we are in!!!

    I hope that it is scrapped (all leagues) and restart the season again, hopefully with SAFC sorting out their house so that com the start we can challenge.

    If only Heineken did wishes!!!!

    As bad as it looks, we are only 2 wins away from an automatic spot, with a lot of games between the top clubs still to be played. Coventry look to have tied up one spot, but at the moment the other automatic spot could easily go to any of the remaining top 8. That’s why it should be either continued later or voided.

    If it’s not null and void or delayed until it’s playable, it’s open season for legal challenges.
    I really can’t see the point of declaring the season, then as soon as it’s safe pick it up. No huge need for a end of season recess as the players will have had months off already. A month would be more than enough.
    If it’s ppg then I hope we are involved in any legal challenge, There’s 20 odd points to play for and as much as our form dipped over the past 4 games previous to that we were flying.
    Anything can happen, we can’t be stuck down here for another season, any opportunity to get out of it needs to be taken

    We could go straight in and argue teams above us got to play a massively weakened Bolton.

    I haven’t checked back but I’m confident if they stripped out Bolton’s results to remove that anomaly we’d be in playoff place.

    They were getting done 5 every week by time we played them they’d brought in 13 players.
