Whats wrong with football?

Not forgetting the shit Coventry are in, too.

Its all down to the due diligence associated with Ken selling the club taking longer than expected*, although that merely reinforces the point that he doesn't have a pot to piss in and thus cannot even afford to pay the wages before he sells the club, he does seem to be a northern version of Jed hoping to make a quick buck without spending any of his own cash!

They also owe the old bill for policing plus are due back in court later this month with the HMRC again, its a total shit show.

* Although it also appears this weekend that the takeover has possibly fallen on its arse during the due diligence phase with the buyers walking away, so if Ken cannot even afford to pay people, and there appears to be little chance of a saviour it is looking shitty for them.

I have no love or liking for Bolton but you have to feel a bit for their fans.

Likewise, if you want to see just how crap things are go on the Bolton News website for both the stories and the comments below.

Potentially homeless and suing their current landlords (legally, it's more convoluted than that, but a good summary).

rebounds from penalties not to count. hits post or keeper and it's a goal kick. seems utterly ridiculous way of getting round encroachment. just enforce it, re-take and book players if needed.

Pretty sure that's a false rumour.

Actual changes include altering the definition of handball, substituted players being able to leave the field anywhere and attacking players not allowed in the wall

Yup, as usual propagated by Sky:
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11655143/football-rules-how-will-new-ifab-laws-affect-the-game

This is an updated and corrected version of this article. The first edition mistakenly referred to a rule in relation to penalties which will not come into effect.

It was a proposal considered by the IFAB but not adopted. Looking forward to fans' intrepretations of "natural silhouette" being bellowed down my ear next season

[reeves4england]

Hopefully as much truth in this as there was in their reporting on the penalty ruling...

Championship is a money pit

Erm, that's only £36k a year? There's corner shops lose more than that, and most football club chairmen would kill to only lose that much pcm, did you get a decimal point in the wrong place?
