Nothing against Oldham but I think we’d need some sort of implosion at our end to hand them the league title, and that’s not being arrogant. They will finish top 5, but they look at least 2 seasons behind us squad and preparations wise.

Well the bookies, Skybet in this case, consider us 4 times more likely to win the league at 5/2 favourites, than Oldham at 9/1 second favourites.

Make of that what you will (thought I’d say I stead of the usual “and the bookies don’t often get it wrong”)

York look like the value at 22/1. Their new owner supposedly loaded and rumours of more strong signings incoming

As I've said Dallas would be great, but we need not build our hopes up and need a Plan B and C all that if it doesn't happen.

Absolutely stinks of his agent leaking this to try and force up their demands and get Town to pay up.

By all accounts - Dallas is keen, but the constant back and forth and requests for money via his agent are something else. As I understand it we aren't keen to cough up on these agents fees etc that are being demended

I suppose in one way his agent is only doing his job if he realises there is competition for his client so he can push up the package the player gets. The bit where agents start to not do themselves favours is when they start to demand fees etc from clubs for sorting deals when they are getting paid by the player already. Thats money just leaving the game to line someones pockets for doing something they are already getting paid to do .

Bit like when there’s a whip round for the coach driver cos they’ve got you there and back.
Never understood that one.

I'm sure J.R. had Steve “Bum” Jones fatally shoot him so he could frame his long time nemesis, Cliff Barnes for the deed

I seem to recall the Bobby shower thing was a different storyline to the who shot JR thing..

I'm between a Rock and a Hard stone at the moment. I'm not in the know, or claim any special contacts but just passing on the things I hear and the info I have seen is positive but could cause issues on several fronts if it becomes common knowledge. I know a lot of people always dangle this Carrot but I rang the club yesterday about some Tickets and Parking etc and the first question I got asked was "Are you the one walking the Dog round the ground".

If it had been a few years back I would have expected a knock on my door in the night but nowadays I'm not too worried but the things I am writing have started to get peoples ears pricked up as well as little Wilson's.

What people have been posting is not too far off but seems a little contradictive and confusing and I can see why and how it appears that way but hopefully a coupe of more days and it may make sense


p.s. I have read and reread this several times to try and make it not sound patronising, Pompous, or even condescending and any other big word that makes me appear better than anyone. And No I've not mailed any letters off to solicitors in case I go missing.

Most of us appreciate what you try to do and 7/10 you’re right!
Just the Joe Quigley one was completely wrong but heay ho
Keep up the good work please

Warfey, what does this even mean?

[Doreets]

Somewhat naively the DT article gives me more confidence that he's signed. Liam Norcliffe very rarely delves in to rumours unless they are close to being announced with the exception being Kabamba last season.

[PontePete]

Twitter poster saying Cook is ****ed off with Dallas keep agreeing terms then going back on his word, and he would be prepared to let it go, but it’s the Kirk Brothers who won’t let up and insist on landing their man😂😂

I could read this stuff all day, and probably will as I’m only sat on a sun lounger in Rhodes. Maybe we’ll have a conclusion within the next 24 hours.

Time for another beer 🍺😁

I always think its a case of what they've done....like others have said stag do's etc where they've put up with you, hung around all day or longer then its a nice thing to do but not just if some grumpy *** has dropped you somewhere and then buggered off. That said i always get annoyed by the folk who see fit to have a round of applause when a plane lands safely!

For what its worth i've never taken your posts as this is in the know and definitely happening, more just juicy snippets of information you've come across whilst out with the dog and you've passed on to people who will find it of interest. Yes some will happen, some wont and we have to read it and take it with that in mind.
