    think what you like but i can guarantee you i don't make this stuff up and my mitk is probably as ITK as it gets - takeovers, injuries, transfers - look at my record baby - i may be a pantomine villain on here but 99% of the time, i'm bang on 
    I see you haven’t responded to my message. Instead just come back on and admitted you were so wide of the mark we should start nickname you Churchy or Spongefoot.

    Joe Ledley is looking for a club nearer home (Cardiff). If Newport don't want him, not sure where else he'd go as no way is he up to Championship standard now. He's pretty optimistic to be taking about Wales and the Euros too!

    My father was a big Jeppson fan but the memory of Cliff Holton and Eddie Firmani in those almost perennial battles against relegation in my youth live long in my memory.

    Firstly Holton in 1966 tearing apart the feted young  Centre Half Alan Stephenson in  a 1-0 victory over Palace and then an Easter Monday 5-2 victory over Preston where the 37yr centre forward outpaced and held off a posse of defenders from the halfway line to seal the win.

    Then Firmani a similarly ageing veteran called out of Southend Reserves in 1967/68 to net 6 times in 10 games. The pace and mobility of 4/5 yrs earlier had gone but the class and ability to find space in the box was still there. I can still visualise the towering header in a late win against against Northampton.

    Sadly I am not sure they make players like those two any more


      

    Holton was a very big fella (I’d say 6’ 2” or so), with legs like tree trunks, a no nonsense old school centre forward and something of a human battering ram.
    When he took penalties or dead ball free kicks defenders and keepers would dive out of the way......I ain’t joking either!
    Think we got him from Watford?
  • all nonsense to one side, the news about cullen and field is great and in theory we could have our strongest line up back on the pitch by the end of the month - with additional signings as well
  • I think you could say that to about 4 or 5 people tbh mate
    I am, not just doucher.

    It's all so boring.

    Let's take a big step back from speculation  and look at the facts we do have. 

    From Roland's EFL statement:

    "Part of the plan for ESI is to strengthen the team in January, using these weeks in December to put the building blocks in place for that..."

    And this from Lee Bowyer:

    "They want to stabilise us to stay in the league. There will be some help in Jan. That’s what we need to do as a football club. We need to become an established championship side and then you can build on that

    So there are the facts.

    There will be money available if Bow and Gallen want to spend it. Bodies will come in. And we are aiming to stabilise, not go mad with marquee signings.

    There has been no indication from anywhere that these guys are going to spend megabucks. That's been pure CL speculation based on the owner's family. I see nothing so far to suggest that's true. 
    That those things were said is fact but what's contained in those statements is not necessarily fact, it could just as likely be a smokescreen for what's actually going on behind the scenes.

    Yes we did :-)

    Correct!

    NOBODY WITH ANY SENSE would write we've got loads of cash and we're going to be spending big in the close season to try and get in the Premiership. 

    However and I repeat it NOBODY buys a club for 40-50m plus running costs to NOT TRY and get in the Premiership.

    WHETHER IT HAPPENS WE WILL SEE but you're mental if you think otherwise. 

    Any new owner wants their club to be successful!  Ergo get into the Premiership.

    Sigh... As Bowyer said, the plan is to first become an established Championship side and then look to mount a promotion challenge. You're the only one talking about treading water. 

    Also, for reference, Dutchatelet bought the club for 16 mil, got it relegated, ripped out the team, failed in every way, got promoted back to where it was again, and sold the club on at a 40+ million pound profit with no progress whatsoever.
    Did TwoShits actually make any money?  I've asked this before but didn't get an answer.  Did they pay him £60m and take on the debt owed to Staprix or did the £60m cover the debt so Roland effectively got nothing, just the money he'd loaned us repaid?

    Roland definitely lost money, just not as much as I hoped. No way did they pay 60mil plus take on debt.
