    I had a dream, Bonne & Taylor scored 25 goals each this season, we finished 3rd and won the play off final. LB became Sir LB, Duchatelet took his £77m and gave the club to the trust for a £1 and Dalman got some Middle east fellas to send us a fighting fund of £2Billion to win the PL!

    Can i have Two lots of what you are smoking?
    It's Bonne & Taylor.  

    Edit* the irony isn't lost on me that the only person who got it was @Garrymanilow ...
    I got it the first time someone made this joke.

    Sorry I hadn't seen the joke made before, every now and then I fall apart. 


  • Anyone who thought the EFL would do anything in favour of fans or would have shown 1 iota of sympathy to our needs is more mad than Roland 


    Roland asked for the review and asked the EFL to report on a number of issues, including CARD’s responsibility for stories in the national press and the actual support among the staff for their letter protesting about the bonuses.

    It would have been negligent, in my view, to simply say, “we’re not talking to you” while also complaining about the EFL’s wider failure.

    As it is the statement, such as it is, at least gives no succour to any of RD’s claims about fans or staff, because the EFL recognises that they are so nonsensical that even they cannot stand behind them. 
    Talk to them as much as you want imo but you were more likely to get an ounce of satisfaction from Murray than them and Murray is a word I ain’t allowed to say on here no more

    Nothing happening, haven't seen David from Brighton despite waiting outside Brighton Station for days.

    (It does seem I was miss-sold info...
    David and his story were explained loosely as they happened in the 'real' world outside of CL -  the Entirety of this post not in italics though is complete BS.

    For that I apologise to the club, the board and the mods.)
    Did you really have to pay for it? 
    Yes & the info apparently

    1774, The LBW law is added to the game of cricket.
    Compared to the manufacture of the first Birkenstock sandals???

    Or even the first Continental Congress and the first Declaration of Rights - as Britain's American colonies moved closer to independence. 
    Problem is NIA,
    It's just not cricket.

    So the EFL say they have been presented with no evidence that the staff were entitled to a bonus apart from one individuals account of what was promised?

    Rudders......I am not sure why you have reposted this old news???
    Some readers will not realise it and think it’s a new statement from Dalman.....I know I did and was left feeling very despondent for a minute or two until I saw posts from a couple of others pointing out it was several days old............I hope it wasn’t your idea of a joke?
    We STILL live in hope Rudders!

    I take it there’s no take over news, rumours or updates. Lots of pages on other stuff. Maybe headline can be updated - last takeover post page 1750 or something.

    The wait is so frustrating. We are so close to being a club seriously on the up. Probably about 5m difference away from a sale.

    I fear if it's not done by august any new owners will in hindsight see they should have paid it as we will most likely be back in Division 3.

    Roland had a relegation clause when he bought the club (I think he paid £4m less if we went down). I can see the buyers doing the same if it drags on too long.
