You're talking about Bob mate, no need to be coy.

You seem totally certain there's no takeover, would you care to put money on it?
Bob? Mad bob
If what happens happens with the share split, your opinion will be its a takeover, but while donald is still clinging on my opinion is that its a jiggling of shares.
And what i am seeing with the cooke sacking and the manager we will end up with, smacks of donald and rodwell calling the shots. Take for example if there was no takeover or share thing was never mentioned and we needed a new manager and we knew it was down to rodwell(donald), the names mentioned now are exactly the names who would be linked with. And yous reckon its a new start takeover?
 
Aye, been posted earlier on this thread. Won't deny he's got a good non-league record but he's going to have to hit the ground running and perform better than he ever has before like. I don't see how he will but hey ho, I'm not making that decision.


You say Cowley will have to out perform his previous record which is 1.76 points per game for all clubs. As a point of fact Poyet's is 1.55 points per game.
 
Lets see what tomorrow beings then
Must admit after yesterdays highs and lows was hoping today would bring a bit of cheer
but I'm just confused. Said it earlier but how can we go from Poyet and Schwartz to Cowley
People are pissed off and desperate for something positive hence all the bickering tonight.
Would like a nice orderly transition
Takeover DOF tomorrow
New manager Friday

John Cooke was sacked weeks ago. The takeover wasn't on the horizon then.
 
we can’t keep doing this though

the club is a complete mess top to bottom. The state of the club is embarrassing

Whatever is happening needs to be done quickly otherwise it’s another season that’s drifted away on and off the pitch and then the real trouble starts!

we are getting very lucky teams are dropping points all over the place

That's because the quality and consistency in this league is very low.

Win our game in hand and we'll be in the play off places, and we're only 5 points off 2nd. So if someone comes in who can get us out of 2nd gear and strengthen the squad, there's plenty of reason for optimism. Too early to push the panic button yet, there's a long way to go.

Ah man is this getting confusing. You said all the **** spouted can be attributed to one person so I made my best guess.

Not sure why you’re here unless it’s to make trouble for this site, in which case you’re well on your way.

Its a football forum on the internet mate. You’re being slightly dramatic I think.

Doesn't Jack Ross have one of our highest at 1.9? PPG isn't a reliable measure of managers capabilities, especially since we've had managers across 3 different divisions

I never chucked all his result into one average like, thought that would be unfair. I think a fairer comparison would be what each of them achieved in League one, Cowley has 1.71 while Gus got 2.07. So just using raw performance data for league one, Gus massively outperforms him and hits the golden 2 points a game average which will give you promotion.

So yeah, Cowley will have to perform to the level Gus achieved to get us promoted, which is better than he's managed before.

If the majority of shares change hands it is a takeover. Donald no longer controls the club. The fact he retains some shares makes no difference. He has lost control therefore that is a takeover. Not sure how better this can be explained. It might not be SD completely out the club but a minority shareholder in a private company has no say.
 
How can you not have a kit man at a club?
You've seen them play man, they don't run so don't break into a sweat and they hardly tackle so, apart from the keepers, the kits probably only need hanging up to dry between matches!

Just seen on Twitter just there. The club are investigating Cooks son who plays for U18s after he called the club hierarchy cowards. There an article by Craig Hope in the Daily Mail.

Just when you think they can’t sink any lower they go and do it again !
