    I thought a fanzine had a competition like that

    Ahem.

    Certainly Goodbye Horse ran one as I won "Manager of the Month" and still have the lovely plastic trophy somewhere to prove it!

    Maybe @Algarveaddick can shed some light?
  • Blogger is reliable. His sources may not be.

    Have you heard anything about supposed American Interest Airman?

    Dream Valley was overseen by CASC, if I recall, and in the early years the rankings appeared in VOTV. I tried unsuccessfully to get the Mercury to carry them when I was sports editor. I think Goodbye Horse probably took them over later after we dropped them.
  • I think you are right @Airman Brown - but I don't really remember, it was a loooong time ago. :)

    Dave from The blog "Drinking During The Game" stated this today in his blog : "Finally, I heard mutterings from several sources last night that "he will be gone in three weeks" and twice that an American consortium was in talks to end the Duchatelet nightmare. Given history, we have to be sceptical but it will happen one day and soon would be tremendous"
    Hope this is true, but if he hasn't sold us at any point in the past 18 months (the timeframe in which we're led to believe he decided he'd had enough) then i can't see him deciding to sell now we're potentially flirting with promotion to the premier league.

    If you were him you wouldn't sell now, you'd at least wait another 2-3 months and see if we can keep the good form up, as if Bowyer could pull off miracle number 2 then he gets his money back.
  • If he is getting the money he wants then he will sell now instead of gambling on an unlikely promotion.
  • 1998, '' And Ilic has saved it ''
    Best game ever played at Wembley

    If you were Roland you do something ridiculous and stupid. Like sell the club now and then see it re-sold next season for double or triple what you sold it for.

    All he has to do is put a clause for promotion to trigger an additional fee.
  • Anyone who's anyone knows any legit rumor deadline should be 2 weeks in length, amateurs!

    That is sooooo league 1. Championship is so much more.
  • no its generally optimal as a time frame for any take over rumour, just out of reach but enough to pique the interest

    Gutted I missed page 1995. Crazy to think @ForeverAddickted started secondary when I would only have been about 2-3 weeks old.

    Just have to settle for being 2 in 1997.

    The page numbers are the most exciting thing on this thread now.

    I wonder if we get to page 2020 before the turn of the new year, the internet will just explode..?
    Everyone is waiting with baited breath to find out the year canters lost his virginity!

    Came close in 2013.
  • Back in the day, Grandson Jimmy organized a competition (first guess) and I'm sure as everyone's date was passed, there was just One man standing, who said December 2020.

    From memory I'm sure the prize was a Week in Benidorm with Thomas Cook.

    Who was mystic meg ?

    Page 2 and beyond is where it belongs. Roland is eyeing the premiership, nobody is breaking down his door to buy us and all the fans are as happy as larry.
