    Poch coming out with some seriously scary comments in the presser. Says the squad is the most unsettled it's been since he moved to spurs and that the next week will be very decisive as to the fortunes of the team. Oof

    I see Griezmann playing for the last bastions of all that is good. How did all that turn out or is it still not resolved?

    He should have whored himself out more and got away while the going was good.

    Bolton’s takeover has collapsed, so they have the same Tuesday 5pm deadline as Bury (who are apparently getting fans to clean the stadium and selling tickets for their weekend fixture) but I just don’t think it’s conceivable that a deal to buy a football club can be completed (or ‘99%’ completed) in that time. Looking bleak for both clubs.

    People seem to be blaming the current owner of Bolton, and I'm sure he hasn't helped, but didn't he only come in when they were last on the verge of going bust when they couldn't pay their players? The debt they had racked up with that mug Eddie Davies was astonishing for a club of their size (I doubt banks would have ever bailed them out to the extent that he had), so they've probably been run badly since their brief run of Premiership form.

    Also who is that in the picture?

    Surely with two teams going to the wall in League 1 this is the perfect opportunity for the old firm to strike and implant themselves into the middle tiers of English football.

    I would guess not as much as you think. Maybe 4000. On match day maybe 4500. Definitely not Michael Phelps tier

    If it's not all GB teams then it should be none. It wouldn't take long for the novelty factor of the Old Firm to wear off either.

    I mean it was looking unlikely anyway but you’re right, this has to be it. Harsh on supporters (especially those who volunteered to clean up Gigg Lane to get it match ready) but hopefully there will be enough who give a crap to start a Phoenix club.

    Not that I think they should, but I can't understand why a big club with questionable ownership (who doesn't?) wouldn't stump up to bask in the publicity.

    They can all work around FFP and all manner of things. If that’s the excuse then they just don’t want to.

    FFP avoidance is literally the same thing as tax avoidance, it's just creative accounting. Shoving brown paper bags to clubs that are literally being monitored by independent auditors are not.

    Which rule? I'm aware of the owners not being able to have stakes in 2 clubs, but which rule prohibits a club donating funds to another club?

    Yeah, that kind of thing isn't going to be allowed. It's a one way street to little suitcase corruption at the end of every season.

    EFL statement at 7, apparently. Also appears there is more than one new bidder for Bury, including Jill Neville. Really don’t think this is going to come off though - deal will have to be done this week in order for Bury to play Saturday (league said no more postponements) and there’s already been one deadline extension.

    Molumby will hopefully appear for Millwall too, and Obafemi for Southampton.

    I think Idah is starting for Norwich.

    I found flashscores too which has an app but is a bit too centred around betting.

    Enda Stevens being substituted in the 24th minute could be a serious shitter.

    Just watching Match of the Day now and fair play to the United fans being raging on Saturday. Fucking awful refereeing. They should've had two more penalties and a freekick for that supposed simulation by Dan James. His goal was very nice.
