Well I'm sure the new owners will run the club as a sustainable operation and **cough** not plough loads of money into getting the club out of league one with ex prem players on ridiculous contracts (with all the pomp and ceremony that comes with it and all those 'fans' that seem to have found their...

His Bromley performance was bent as hell, can't imagine much difference this week against a 'BIG' club 4th in league one.

As people stand in the CF block one all game in the seats it makes sense to put rail locked up seats in this area of Whaddon Road. What are you views on this idea lads? As there is persistent standing in this area. There's areas of the ground that require more immediate attention than safe standing...

I’d love to know what their business model was. Even if they won promotion there’d be no pot of gold, the stakes just get higher. And part of their £8m loss was attributed to bonuses paid to players per point, so a successful season in L1 would have likely brought bigger losses. It does make you wo...

the BBC wetting themselves already over the fgr / luton draw.

If you have an organization that's willing to write off £8m losses then what are they really going to learn? Anything below £8m is a win

Somthing I’ve just remembered from Saturday. Mary Poppins was showing on the concourse tv screens. On the positive side, at least the TVs were on. But, by crikey, we must be the only club in the league that doesn’t see the benefit of showing football on concourse tv screens. it will upset some but ...

I think Pell's done here, wouldn't be surprised if he's shipped out in Jan.

Implicit is a good word... but drawn from the dark ages... What is wrong with folks. One game in... life's already looking better. I will take a few defeats on the chin but just feeling more optimistic just now. pleaswe, just back off with all you're other gripes. We are not bottom. And all the oth...

I don’t get the issue with the bar at the training ground. It’s rented out for events so makes money for the club at the end of the day. There are also offices there. its the mindset, the building is for a professional football club to train their professional players, but there's still the old bar...

longmover

I never thought SC would be in for all 'that' after a game, maybe the emotion or maybe it needed to be done to make that connection between team and fans.

probably both.

he's been total dog5hit till that performance on Saturday, looked like he gave a 5hit and realised he may have to put some effort in to be considered.

longmover

He looked a little bit lost at times but grew into the time he had on the pitch and should of scored, there is definitely a useful player there.

longmover

Interesting that he says 'I went for Cotterill, no mention of a collective board decision. Also mentioning that there is still a bar in the Training ground were the team eat, its this sort of detail that is just not being seen or addressed by the board prior to MG's arrival. Finally we have someone ...

Wise words indeed, but I still wouldn't be at all surprised if MG, later this season and next summer, begins changing things, little by little. He obviously didn't want to come in and rock the boat but has been forced to with the way things were going. I think he'll be reticent to make too many cha...

any chance of making this thread a 'sticky' please.

longmover

So the club which hasn't moved forward in 20+ years is now in a position to move forward but with the same people in charge that have overseen £uck all in the way of off field growth. Again complete contempt from the boardroom that us supporters should be happy with all this and its not their fault ...

longmover

Savage loves money, he will go where there is money, no doubt he will leave fgr for some other tarts handbag of a club.

He has a tattoo of the Armani logo, say no more.

tat attracts tat.

Haven't even sent a WhatsApp notification about the manager. Nevermind, I'm confident I'll get one about our fourth choice centre-back celebrating their birthday. That'll build engagement. Is anyone actually in charge of comms at the club? Come on now the board have worked 'relentlessly' to get Ste...

temporary manager when Cotts gets sacked next November.

longmover

He's the man for the moment but its 'revolution not evolution' with that length of contract.

Maybe he MG wants some stability while backroom changes are made.

longmover

He's got a media degree hasn't he? Can't he be involved in the "media" side of the club? Can't see him getting too much in the way of playing staff anywhere.

He's a nice guy and would like him to have something to do with the club but not near the first team.

longmover

The club and the supporters are in desperate need of a talisman, a hero to get behind.

Apart from Duff or Alfie May I couldn't think of a better fit for this purpose.

longmover

Alfie May saved a lot of peoples blushed *cough* Wade Elliott *cough*

he leaves, Elliott gets sacked having not won for 12 games.

Makes good sense to consider all options rather than rush into a panic appointment such as the board would probably have made.

Finally Garlick is taking control.

I suppose JP only said that it would be an experienced manager, maybe the three or so shortlisted are all experienced. On the other hand if it is SC would it be complicated by his acrimonious exit from FGR, said to be breach of contract, if that's not all been sorted? What was the breach? I thought...

I would have hoped that if it is to be SC as next manager, it would all have been done quickly and we would be hearing imminently (?) The longer it goes on, the doubts creep in. In saying that, not too often the bookies suspend betting for no reason They're probably waiting for someone to get off t...

As holders of 75+ per cent of shares, they have the power to appoint and remove directors (and a whole load more rights). So, what the Garlicks' want, the Garlicks' get.

What did us was more Murray leaving and then the injuries and not being able to replace Will Goodwin with like for like, instead we got Joe Nuttall who was national league level.

Listening to Savage on the radio after their last couple of games, I have to admit he's exactly what we (and most clubs I'd guess) need. Nothing but positivity and common sense. Of course, I'd imagine that's quite easy when your budget is huge and you're top of the division (and one place below us ...

the key words here are 'driving' and 'death of a cyclist'
