Close Quarters

Just started reading this, Interesting to read that the Couhigs not only looked at Yeovil & got turned away, also Bury & Grimsby.

 

I bet bury are kicking themselves. Does it say why they were turned away?

 

Close Quarters is a bloody good read although there are a few glaring errors in it.

 

Bury never came back with a figure of what was needed & Grimsby too bloody cold even in May

 

Were they turned away by all 3? If so, what did they see that we didn't? Or were they just stupid? Or did the Couhig's see something they didn't like and the clubs didn't like the way the Couhigs needed to cover it?

 

According to the book it's what we know about Yeovil, the Couhigs thought they had a deal & Yeovil directors voted against, & they don't know why. The Bury shambles sounds like what we read in the press Steve Dale did'nt have a clue what was going on in his own club. Grimsby it's as in the previous post, then Wycombe was mentioned they looked at a map realised we are 30mins from Heathrow. According to the first pages I have read the club were in a far bigger mess than certainly I realised

 

I never read books. A one or two sentence summary of each chapter would be good

 

It also mentions a B side

 

Nice summary Phil

 

I am finding it's not so much about the games, it's what going on behind the scenes, just got to the the piece about Rocky Allsop when he reported to the Ref the homophobic abuse he got at Tranmere & the Times putting in the article a picture of him wearing the pink goalkeepers kit.
