Wonder if they want Jeff Shi to head their commercial arm? Or Vinny?

You really need to push Fosun on buying that 2nd club in Europe. Only way Jeff is going right now

 

[Jinky]

Villa making moves both on and off the pitch.

 

[Kenny]

HMRC have issued a winding up petition against Wigan.
Hearing set for the 26th July

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think they owe about £2.5m.

They're trying to get a local fella on board who owns part of the rugby club, trying to get him to take over and he can have the ground. Crypto Boy quite obviously hasn't got any money.

 

[Kenny]

In other Court news....Ancelotti is suing Everton. Something to do with general commercial contracts and arrangements”.
.

 

[Derby Wolf]

three directors Greame Sharp among them leave Everton too.

The statement said a further announcement about the chairman will be made in the next 48 hours too so you'd suspect Kenwright might be off as well.

The rise of the ‘fake No.2 goalkeeper’: How EFL clubs are exploiting the emergency loan loophole to save budget

Pressure to get results in the EFL means clubs are thinking outside the box and making the emergency loan rule work in a way that saves them money, but is it also harming careers?

Fake keepers.

Could be a gig for you @Kenny ? Some would say that you filled the brief when you were actually playing but I would never stoop so low to make such a mean joke.

 

[Kenny]

Yep, actually playing the position ruined my career...

 

[Keef]

was it arse splinters from sitting on the bench?

Deal done.

 

[Kenny]

Reading charged by the EFL with multiple breaches around not paying players wages. Owner also chsrged as he had made a promise to make fund available and failed to do so.

Will probably be joining Wigan at the bottom of L1 with minus points

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's all gone very strange there. Wilder agreed to join weeks ago and it hasn't happened, and all the lines of communication to the owners have completely broken.

 

[The Bear]

Another one that looks like a hostage video.

Would never ever have recognised him.

 

[Kenny]

Would never ever have recognised him.

Is that him celebrating a goal on Mother's Day?

 

[SSB]

Would never ever have recognised him.

Nice to see the Hawthorns packed out as ever.
