The Football News Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

"In March 2013 an independent disciplinary commission found Bassini guilty of misconduct and dishonesty over financial dealings on behalf of Watford and banned him from being involved in a position of authority with any Football League club for three years"

Bolton said they are waiting on due diligence before the sale later on......fucking hilarious.

BREAKING NEWS

Graham Mackrell, Sheffield Wednesday's secretary & safety officer for its Hillsborough ground when 96 people were killed in 1989 has been found GUILTY of breaching his duty of safety over the allocation of 7 turnstiles for all 10,100 people standing to support Liverpool.

But the jury unable to reach a verdict against David Duckenfield... Protect the powerful?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The ground had an out of date safety cert, so the club secretary was always in the firing line.

Spurs new stadium looks awesome. Hope we’ll have a look at it before we start our rebuild

 

[Kenny]

For £1bn it should look awesome

Probably got them cheap as Man City aren't selling out their allocation :icon_biggrin:

(this is a joke though - good on him for doing that)

 

[visage]

One of the good guys.

Indeed. He's come in for so much (undeserved) stick, but Sterling genuinely seems to be growing into a role model.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

What kind of person stops supporting Leeds to pick.....Luton?

 

[Sniffer]

Brilliant, I've missed your Thursday afternoon quizzes.

Erm, I'm guessing that might or might not be his real name. Is it Nick Owen?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's probably better at racist puns than Nick Owen. Couldn't compete on standard puns though.

 

[Langers]

Yaxley-Lennon aye it

Looks like they’re trying to push a new revamped Champions league by 2024, with a very much closed shop emphasis on the table. Plus they’ll also push to play games at weekends instead of weekdays.

 

[YoungWolf]

So we have got four years...

 

[jd1981]

Interesting to see the criteria for qualification would be. Apparently it’s being pushed by Juventus chief exec, can see why PSG, Juve, Real, Barca, Bayern and Dortmund might want this format but can see bigger resistance from the PL clubs.

 

[Johnny75]

The PL would stop it dead as it's essentially the back door to the Super League which has been shelved as many times as May's Brexit deal.

The greed of the big clubs needs to be checked about now. Too many of them looking our for themselves and wielding too much power.

Bolton paid the non playing staff and the Safety Cert was reinstated but...

Due to a critical failure of the stadium’s IT system, Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship match against Ipswich Town at the University of Bolton Stadium is in doubt.

Engineers will be working through the night to resolve this issue and the club will provide an update at the earliest available opportunity.
