He was supposed to be the silent money man.
He shared a mutual bank manager with another individual - Edin Rahic - and they were introduced. Rahic was the "football man" having been a semi pro back in Yugoslavia and Germany. Rahic sold Rupp the dream of Premier League football using...
He wants a silly price for it supposedly.
He bought us for approx £6m in 2016 when we were a top end L1 club - back to back play offs, L1 play off final, cup runs of note (though not forgetting we owned nothing other than our FL place and squad).
We've since regressed, been relegated and spent...
Disappointing 1-1 draw at Cheltenham.
First half was frantic and either side could've had a couple. But we bossed the second half without properly threatening, though Pointon did hit the bar. Two points dropped.
If you don't play like Barcelona 2008/09 you're automatically defined as crap. There's more than one way to skin a cat though.
Let's be honest, we're all fourth division fans here. What we like is football that's played front to back quickly, aggressive in nature and with lots of crosses/shots...
I'll be selfish and hope for Curzon Ashton away.
Not as close as Mossley or Stalybridge to me, but about as close as I can get with that list. That or Oldham.
We were dreadful.
Morecambe could, and should, have been 3/4 up at HT and game over. We spawned a draw in the last minute after doing nothing - all because Morecambe retreated into themselves obviously lacking confidence to see the win out.
I don't care for Alexander particularly, but until...
Don't get me wrong, he definitely has a future in the game, is worth his place in and around the team and of our recent (see last 25 years) youth candidates he's by far the standout player and already has as many goals as Danny Forest got in 50 games for us. I just think we as a fan base have an...
Agree with this.
Not sure on the love in for Pointon generally either. He clearly has ability, but he does drift in and out and I'm not convinced he's a starter for a team aspiring to promotion.
That's the only thing with the transfer I'm bothered about.
It's a shame we've not been able to integrate Young (vSwindon) into the team but take that 4 month loan spell away and he's barely shown anything otherwise bar a couple of goals in the JPT and one or two long range strikes for us. I...
Dack was/is obviously a class apart for this league.
But he's averaging 18 games a season over the last five years. Someone coming in and out of the team like that isn't ideal. The signing, as already said, entirely depends on him maintaining his fitness.
To be fair we never travel well to Port Vale for some reason. Nor Carlisle (bar the play offs) particularly.
And I can't remember the last decent following at Walsall? 2013 in L1 when we took 1,300?
I don't know when we play Donny away, but obvs that has the potential to be 4k+.
