Not sure it goes in this thread but my mate lives in Holland and in their local news there is a story that Dirk Kuyt is ready to buy a L1 English football club, he has denied its Bolton but it would be a multi million pound takeover bid if successful.

That story suggests its Bolton but Kuyt has denied that.

As fanciful as your last sentence is, in a future Swindon Town set up when the ground is owned, that would have a more solid resonance.

Bury looking likely to start next season -12 points, assuming they can get their CVA passed (and that Dale doesn't default on the terms which is a pretty big assumption in it's own right!)

It's worse than that, they truly played the game - this should have been a penalty enforced last season but they didn't pay their staff to ensure they got through the last fixture before proposing a CVA.  That would have meant them dropping into the Play Offs.

Hadn't noticed that,  cheating bastards !!.  Think they'll get found out this season,  must be very short price, or odds on, for relegation.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up with back to back relegations.

Things ain’t looking too good - again - with the piss stains. Rumours of staff not being paid - again - and finding difficulty in attracting players because of their financial position.

Transferring money from abroad to the club is the usual excuse for non existent cash flow.

That little Thai fella is doing a stand up job!

Jed McCrory currently denying being part of the consortium taking over at Yeovil but his mates have come out and said they are part of it, the same group that purchased Worcester Rugby Club, Scott Priestnall and Errol Pope.

But there are a few unusual comments from Scott Priestnall

Quote
This is a question I've already had from the Glovers Trust with their Chairman Stuart (Burrell). Jed (McCrory) has already made it publically aware that he's not involved in this takeover. He's doing a great job up in Stratford. He's a very good friend of mine and I believe he's got a very good record in football. In fact what we are doing is bringing Stratford Town down next Saturday. We've done a deal with Jed to bring them down, do a meet the players - for the fans to meet the players and the new manager. We'll be down there as well to try to give a bit of openness in terms of what's going off during this transition period. But certainly Jed is not involved in this takeover "at this moment".

Yeovils first home friendly of the season is....yes Stratford Town, a team owned by Jed McCrory!

Did see that over the weekend, he’s bound to be lurking in the background. Probably come in as a ‘consultant’ and make some money that way. That comment Jed made to that Yeovil fan that “they’d be lucky to have him” sums him up.
