I think I remember the Sparky incident, as I recall he lent into the south side to retrieve the ball and his head suddenly rocked back - is that correct ?
That's the one; Shaun Taylor had to hold him back from going and getting stuck in! |

Purkiss came across as a bumbling idiot, closer to politician than PFA. Lee Power spoke well as usual.

El Hadji Diouf is lucky he's not still playing now, he'd end up in cuffs. I enjoyed Doughty's story about him in the recent podcast 🙂
Wouldn't go within spitting distance of him. |

I am waiting for some bell end to start off a series of inane posts on their newly adopted German team.
Slutsk spring to mind. |

May have to accept it if there are no other income streams
Nightmare scenario for me. The thought of B teams strikes disgust in me. I have rejected the Boycott club and wouldn't of watched us at Wembley had we got there. Introduction of this in a league format would tear me in half. The Clash: Do I stay or do I go?! |

I have to say I agree with you. It goes against everything that the lower leagues stand for. But.... if there was no alternative? |

He always speaks well doesn’t he, Power. Which is why it still baffles me the amount of hate he gets. Purkiss was hopeless, really didn’t know how to answer any of the questions. |

This is the the key point and it would have to be definitively the only alternative. I'd rather Swindon Town survived over anything else so and would begrudgingly deal with four or five 'B' teams swilling around the EFL. |

If you take a whole bunch of loans from one club (say Tottenham Hotspur for example) aren't you halfway down the road of being a B team anyway?

If a lot of clubs do end up in shit creek, then partnering up with a PL club would be an acceptable way of steadying the ship until the club can support itself again. A temporary alliance would be better than no club at all.

That is, of course, eminently sensible. However, what you might get may not be a temporary alliance. Some clubs might be acquired 'lock stock and barrel', so to speak.

Some clubs might be acquired 'lock stock and barrel', so to speak. exactly that. if it was really temporary fair enough. Got to do what you have got to do. I suspect though once the genie is out the bottle is not going back in. could be wrong. obviously. I appreciate a lot of people are happy to slap a swindon shirt on half a spurs u23 team, but it's not for me. At least not in full time commitment to going to games. I'd still go to some to catch up with mates, etc. Swindon would be my preferred team I'm going to find it hard to accept football will probably never be the same again |

It would be the end for me. I haven't invested for 30 yrs - emotionally & financially - in STFC for it to end up as someone else's B team. I'd find another hobby, or another team.
