    Sven Will It Go Wrong?

    In 2001, in the wake of the dotcom crash, I lost my job. For 18 months, I had been the deputy shift leader of a surly band of financial journalists, charged with staying up all night and reviewing the first editions of the newspapers for a raft of corporate clients. It wasn't much, but it was a...

    SZ Fantasy Football League.

    Cant recall who the owner of this is but assume we are having another one this year? Congrats to Gary Peck I think (Sorry not sure which poster you are) who won it last year which was amazing considering Phil Jones normally walks it every season. I came second and I want the title this year...

    Summer Madness

    Was football just waiting for me to go on holiday before it got interesting? I left for the sun-bleached Spanish countryside on the morning after the Confederations Cup Final and, no sooner had my budget airliner wobbled onto Alicante's dusty runway than the transfer market exploded. Every trip...

    The Transfer Market Summer 2009

    I've looked at the Football League website and going by this 12 clubs in our league including us are yet to make a signing. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfers/5494052/Transfers-League-One-summer-2009.html I'll assume that the doom mongers at other clubs are equally...

    Rons Blogg

    Chairman's Blog Firstly before I deal with Q&A there are one or two things to clear up. The first relates to Peter Clarke and an article in today’s Echo. In last week’s blog I set out the position, once again, surrounding Peter but for the record there have been no discussions with Peter...

    Magilton Sacked - Someone Tie Tilson Down

    Jim Magilton has been sacked by Ipswich and, given that they've tried for our manager in the past, I think it's safe to assume that they'll try again. Can we lock Tilson in a room until they give up searching for him?

    Jamie Oliver's new baby - named Petal Blossom Rainbow! That's along with sisters (I assume!) Daisy Boo and Poppy Honey. They won't thank their parents in later life...will they?

    History Will Reward Liverpool

    This week, a friend of mine bound for pastures new bestowed upon me her collection of old football magazines. I can't begin to explain how exciting this is to someone like me. You see, my friend's magazine collection is taller than her and it stretches back through the years to historic...

  11. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...

    Question Mortgage query

    With a standard repayment mortgage, if I'd paid it for 9 out of 25 years (i.e. 16 years to go) how much capital would I have paid off (let's assume £150,000 mortgage)? Is it an easy question? I have no idea!

    Let The Spending Continue!

    If there is to be a dramatic collapse in the finances of the Premier League clubs, it may not happen for a few more years yet. The much-heralded drop-off in those all-important TV revenues have failed to materialise, which is welcome news for those clubs over-burdened with debt. The Times...

    Question Would a couple of seasons in League 2 be the end of the world ?

    Quite a few of us on here have seen a fair bit of League 2 footie and supported the Blues though thick and an awful lot of thin. So if the unmentionable happened would the club really fall off a cliff ? It seems to me that with the current financial crisis threatening to take its toll...

  16. Ref Watch ........ Crewe

    After the excitement of the week-end and a quite decent, even good, performance from Stuart Attwell (it was an easy game to referee though and it doesn't make his rapid promotions right!), back to the mundane matter of Saturday's officials. Man in charge is Graham Scott from Abingdon. He is in...
