    Bosch is probably one of my favourite TV series I've ever watched. Outstanding writing and top quality acting.

    Just been watching a few videos from Wembley, unbelievable. Cold light of day view of it weeks later and its still one of the best experiences of my life. The next step is getting the new investors in whomever they may be. The sooner the better because however fantastic Wembley was, we have a championship squad to put together and I hope all the shares ****e isn't showing anything down re new signings and improved contracts for players. Stewart is a must keep above anything else imo.

    Losing interest in takeover stuff after the whole sell thing now. Season ticket holder who will support the lads in red and white, it’s all I wish for. Give 100% on the pitch.

    We care about everything on here, man, including what colour she's wearing . . . . is it 'off-white' or 'dorty-white' :emoticon-0112-wonde

    The more you watch scenes like that the more you think surely we wouldn't be short of rich business people wanting to invest in that. Being a part of it going forward. Not a bunch of crypto twats ffs. Proper investors.

    The more you watch those scenes the more you realise we should never be in League One ever again, never mind 4 seasons. Surely enough lessons have been learned.

    I think the financial disasters at the likes of Derby, Reading and, let's be honest, Sunderland have made people very wary of 'investing' money. In reality it's very often giving clubs money and is a long way from being an investment. For all his faults Ellis Short was a rich business person who became much less rich after 'investing' in Sunderland.

    But Short bought the club and at least had control ....

    ... whoever buys Donald's shares may be obliged to 'invest' but may have very little say.

    As the advert disclaimers say,

    "The value of an investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back the money you invested. It should not be assumed that the value of investments always rises. You should ensure that you have the financial capacity to bear the risk and only invest an amount you are willing to lose.

    Definitely not. Love all the Lee Child books and was looking forward to watching the movie til i found out that short ass cruise was the main character.

    The Amazon Prime series of Reacher has a much better cast person. I now picture him when I read the books, and had started reading the books way before seeing it. so he's a good fit.

    Agreed having a dwarf (Cruise) play Reacher was a poor joke. As you say the new series is better cast, ie 6ft + although still not 6ft 5ins.

    All quiet which I reckon is a good thing, things will be happening and hopefully progressing. Be great to go into the new season having them 2 gone. Be like a whole new start, I have every faith in KLD but as long as those 2 are lurking in the background it always leaves a little sour taste in the mouth. I am interested in the Portugal pre season games and may persuade the wife to come. Anybody got any details on the games ???

    Rangers the 9th July in Albufeira. I dont think they have announced the second fixture yet. If they did I missed it

    I think that would be a step too far for the missus, hard enough getting her to a match without contending with thousands of pissed up jocks. I was thinking more along the lines of the 2nd game, problem I have is we are due to fly out for our family holiday on the 20th July. I would think the 2nd game would be well before the 20th mind. Was hoping somebody had heard a whisper about the 2nd fixture..

    The tour is from 6th to 13th. Second game will likely be on the 12th.
