Re: Chorley

I'm also not sure that either Wycombe or Portsmouth have made the kind of break neck speed progress that would make you say the sale to private ownership was absolutely brilliant. I think Wycombe are in the same league, and Portsmouth moved up one - but who would argue Portsmouth belong in league tw...

Re: New Signing - Jordan Mustoe

It sounds like this is the first time he has played at that level - he has mostly been full time overseas before so the fact he is coming directly from Warrington rylands is maybe a bit misleading.

Re: New Signing - Jordan Mustoe

Certainly had a varied career, albeit he doesn't seem to have stood still for too long anywhere. Hope he finds a home here, sounds like something we might have lacked at points last season, bit of balance at left back.

Perhaps this thread illustrates the mindset of some of these “business men” when they buy into football clubs.

Re: Chorley

Yes, that's an excellent post that puts into perspective what it is we're trying to avoid.

Re: D.J. interview online now.

I believe Wycombe were fan owned up until a couple of years ago, so some of their most successful seasons were under fan ownership. They have used a supporter share scheme to underpin their finances, and have kept hold of the ground after the club was sold. They also benefited from player sales. htt...

Re: Purver to Scarborough

Yes, good player etc.

BUT

He was a regular in a low scoring midfield that most people accept was badly unbalanced last year, in a team that finished 12th. Is this really, truly the end of the world?

Re: Purver to Scarborough

Well he's definitely not ab attacking one. Which is likely part of the problem in central midfield last season. We will miss Purver. He was excellent last season and we will be hard-pressed to replace him. That's pretty much the point I was making. I just wonder whether the two statements you've ma...

Re: Purver to Scarborough

But as many people have argued, we have two defensive midfielders in the team when purver and moke play alongside one another.

Purver was very good last season, but he didn't chip in as many goals as liddle, and I'd like to think the qualities he brings can be replicated without *that much trouble.

⬆️ No. You wrote that he might need 2 weeks away to come back and say "If I stay, we do this". I mean, who's he going to direct this towards? D.J. his boss?
