http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/39554486Reading owner selling up to the Chinese as the club is too costly to run - but will be keeping hold of the hotel & surrounding land. I'm sure it was mooted when they first took over all they was interested in was the surrounding land and it looks like it is coming true

I didn't know failing the "fit and proper persons test" was possible. Oh well live and learn.

Even Jed McBorey and Lee Power passed it FFS.

Cellino failed it, took the football authorities to court, where the decision was overruled. Essentially it is pretty difficult for anyone to be prevented making a capitalist living, whatever their backstory. Recently Liam Fox was on a Brexit run trying to drum up a bit of trade with The Phillipines, attempting to woo Rodrigo Duterte, with weasel words about shared values. This is a fella who got elected on a platform of extrajudicial executions of drug dealers and other criminals, personally claiming 3. I guess a similar platform might get shared values voters in our post Brexit Britain.

Wasn't quite sure about where to put this, explosion outside Dortmund ground. Early reports that Marc Bartra has been injured in the incident.

Apparently near the team coach, which was a long way from the stadium at the time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39566143Who do we think these clubs are then? Coventry, Bury, Orient and one other, maybe Port Vale would be my guess.

Hartlepool are almost certainly one of them. I posted on here back in December about a few clubs close to the line. Quote Pinched from the Morecambe forum:
Just checked credit ratings of League 2 clubs and there a lot in an awful mess besides us. Many are just crawling from one month to the next.
Anything over 50 is decent. 30-50 isn't great. Under 30 is worrying. Less than 20 and the recommendation is do 'cash transactions only' and is close to going under. Obviously the credit agencies only look at the fundamentals. So Accy's rating is based on past performance and last accounts.
Notts County 0 - winding up order Crawley Town 0 - winding up order Mansfield Town 3 Accrington Stanley 5 Newport County 10 Hartlepool 10 Grimsby Town 13 Stevenage 13 Plymouth Argyle 14 Morecambe 19 Leyton Orient 22 Luton Town 24 Carlisle United 42 Cheltenham 43 Wycombe Wanderers 44 Doncaster Rovers 50 Yeovil 59 Crewe Alexandra 60 Cambridge United 64 Exeter City 66 Barnet 69 Portsmouth 75 Blackpool 91

Liverpool being willing to spend £35 million on Oxlade-Chamberlain.

FFS, "Guardians of the Game"? If the League did their job properly in the first place, these shitehawk owners wouldn't be able to run clubs down to that extent. Fucking clowns, they have no shame
