Good luck to the lad, hope he finds some regular football somewhere.

Re: Bits & Bobs
Poor attitude let the lad down in the end.
Was poor every time I saw him play. Hope the same doesnt happen to Andy Scott who looks promising, he needs another loan spell and to be playing men’s football. |

Re: Bits & Bobs

There isn't one yet; as every date we're looking at may be used for FA Cup replay's or EFL Trophy games. Plus Oxford only went out in the 1/4 final of the Carabao Oxford are still in the Cup; we're still in the Trophy. Plus they've got Ipswich and Wimbledon to fit in as well!! Sat 8th of Feb would suit us, but I suspect Oxford will have a fixture all ready !!;) |

Macclesfield will be praying we don't play any more football. That's a total of 11 points deducted so they're now second bottom having played one game more than Stevenage with a 3 point advantage.

Re: Bits & Bobs
as it seems that the season is about to be finished anyway it does seem a pointless decision to dock em any points. just cannot see a side being pushed down into non league football without a full season of games are played anyway. that is no matter how they end up deciding league positions anyway. losing your football league existance is far worse than any relagation from any division can be. ask fans of stockport, hartlepool , chesterfield and the others what losing their league club means to them.

Don't get exciting please;
It's 3G astro and hasn't been maintained for the last 3/4 years. A very complecated situation as the land/ buildings weren't owed by the club and when the owner's other businesses went into admin MFC and their Community Trust who used these buildings they lost the use of these facilities. One of the main issue is the match control room is in that block to they've had to relocate into a exec box in the main stand. Their fans expect the land to be bought to be converted into another caravan park |

the biggest joke is that they used to call the north east, the hotbed of football. there was actually a book written in the late 50,s with that title. there is now only one top flight club up there who have struggled for years. lost league clubs at gateshead, darlington and hartlepool. now you have a possibility of the other two playing in the third tier of the game. hotbed, more like dead end to me. |
Re: Bits & Bobs
The north-east is still a hot-bed of football, with great fans and clubs at all levels.
But it’s not a hot-bed of global billionaires from the US, Russia, China, the Gulf, etc, etc, who are the ones now stoking the fires of ‘fantasy football’ to temperatures that few mere mortals can sustain. |

[QUOTE=Exile on Spencer St;1240709]The north-east is still a hot-bed of football, with great fans and clubs at all levels.
do not know anything about the mags as i,ve never seen them since being a kid. however fans of all other clubs up there are far more fickle than stanley fans. when sunderland are losing its like a morgue there with walk outs from half time onwards. a few bad games and results pools fans stay away in thousands and the boro lot blow hot and cold very quickly. |
Re: Bits & Bobs
You’re right, monkey, many football fans are fickle.
But, if it seems others are more fickle than Stanley fans, it may be because there are more of them when times are/we’re good. Stanley’s fans currently are the hard core who have stood by the club through thick and thin. But I suspect, in terms of percentages, those who’d do the same to other clubs are not much different. Big play off games at the Wham got nearly 5k ‘home’ fans so, with average league gates as they are, you could say 50% of Stanley ‘fans’ are fickle! |
Re: Bits & Bobs
there have always been fans at any club who only go when they are doing well, that will never change.

Their community Trust has got together a fair sum [ with matched funding etc ] and its believed the clubs' owners will play hardball with the receivers to buy it for as low a sum as they can [ they've had it independently valued at less than 200k given the access issues and that the most likely other purchasers [ the caravan park ] having said they have no interest in buying it but are willing to help the club/Trust by making it clear they will not assist any other potential purchaser with the access problem meaning that any purchaser other than the club/Trust would have no access to their purchase. From what i.m told the clubs owners will buy it and then sell it on to the community trust as they will have access to grants and funding that a private purchaser wouldn't have to renovate the facilities I understand they believe they can get it for less than half the auction reserve price but I guess it will come down to how much the receivers are short on their fees for something they've had on their books and have been trying to shift for over 4 years. They have also been exploring the council buying it with an external loan and the trust buying/leasing it over a very long period And if they got it for anywhere near that figure they will be getting a bargain in that as well as getting their ground control box back that building contains a space that's sat ready to be fitted out as a gym that the club could have use of. |

would anyone actually want their club run and owned by people like that. no matter what money they say they have, what they are going to do i,d take it all with as many bags of Saxa i could carry. |
Re: Bits & Bobs
Apparently its a bit like the situation that Morecambe found themselves in a couple of years back.
Old owners were desperate to sell, Prospective new owners come along, do a deal to buy the club paying in installments, in the light of no other offers old company accept, the new company announced as owners, they then look at the books and decide they want out, and cancel further payments to old owners and stop funding the club. The old company could have come back it and taken control again but instead chose to cut their losses and put it into administration. And yes it is correct the company that were supposed to be buying it had not passed either the old fit and proper person test or the new version either. |

Re: Bits & Bobs
The same bloke seems to have owned both companies but passed control of the new one over to somebody else pretty much immediately after the deal had gone through. This apparently triggered repayments on what had been an interest free loan of £37000 a week. Also the sale price was £17.5m plus a repayment of money put into the club of £24m. Who would effectively throw that sort of money away after a week? There is some very murky financial stuff going on here.

Re: Bits & Bobs

Although i doubt i would have helped in this case as its looking more and more likely that this was some sort of financial setup. A quick to implement solution would be that a new owner has to personally buy a license from the FL for say £5 million which they then in effect lend him the money to do. If alls well when he comes to sell the club and he's paid off his loan they give him his money back if he hasn't made the payments he in effect owes a debt to the FL of money they never actually laid out in the first place, a debt which they could then sell on giving them a profit on the deal. The beauty of this is how many of these shysters would actually pass the credit checks to borrow 5 million at which point the bells would surely start ringing you would think. |
Re: Bits & Bobs
funny thing is these types of situations never seem to have come up years ago even though not all owners were good or wealthy ones either. its the ever increasing foriegn ownership of clubs that seem to have kicked things off. just cannot see why anyone from thousands of miles away can have an interest in clubs with household names like wigan, morecambe etc. if there is nothing in it for them in the first place.
