Talking of nuts, someone at the FA should have theirs put in a vice and crushed for leaving such a gaping hole in the protection mechanisms meant to keep clubs safe from the fate befalling Bury. A more unfit and improper system I have yet to encounter. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,219 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They don't want to have to deal with any of it if they can help it. They just don't want the hassle. Certain rules were changed years back to make it easier for people to make money out of football but it didn't occur to the FA that some of the people looking to do this might not be jolly good chaps. The current fit and proper tests aren't fit for purpose, which is basically because they don't want to stop anyone owning a football club, short of them being a serious crook anyway. Probably more worried about potential legal battles with people who are being refused permission than they are about nobheads getting hold of football clubs and screwing them over. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They dont even care if they're a literal criminal, they let a convicted rapist control blackpool for years. Apologies. It is the son that was on the EFL board for years and years, not the father. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,952 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Apologies you are correct it was the son on the board, but the point remains that the EFL didn't seem to give a flying *** about oyston owning blackpool and he is a legitimate convicted criminal so ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

If that is true I think that's bananas too. On the topic though I really hope things look up for Bolton and Bury! Don't want to see more clubs go under. Link to post Share on other sites

White Band 831 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Parkinson has resigned as Bolton manager. Signs coming out from that club this week are not good. Feel sorry for the players, staff and fans. Bury looking pretty dead as well. Link to post Share on other sites

RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'm a huge admirer of Phil Parkinson, and he did well to stick it out at Bolton as long as he did. Imagine having to motivate a team of teenagers in League One every week, and keeping their spirits up in such unforgiving circumstances. It'd be almost as dispiriting as having to manage Sunderland.

TeaCider24 12,403 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Millwall getting absolutely hammered by Fulham, don't think we've got anything like the quality that Fulham have, but it's promising. Hugill has just scored for QPR too. Link to post Share on other sites
