At least we have the Euros to distract us a bit.

True no doubt, and I hope I am wrong, but definitely worried about the future of BFC here.

Yes I would imagine for starters that his is a business that relies on trust? At best that is on hold pending the outcome of this? I have to think this is very bad for his business, his personal wealth and ultimately BFC, at least in the short term. If he loses in court who knows where we go. I...

RIP Duane. Great sound.

I bet you’re a barrel of laughs on a night out.

It’s a results business for sure, but it’s also an entertainment business. I really hope Simon Sadler has marked NC’s card on the entertainment issue for next season.

Good luck to the guy wherever he ends up. A great talent, and importantly seems to have the temperament snd resilience he will need. He has been hacked at all season and miraculously stayed fit. I look forward to seeing him on the telly a lot.

Kammy, Chris Kamara autobiography.

Reported to have called in insolvency advisers after their potential new owners have hit financial difficulties and look like they might not be able to complete the deal after all.

Fantastic historical fiction 👍. RIP PS I heard the Shardlake books are coming to Apple TV soon.

Two years to the next Holyrood election. Not sure a general election would sort this problem out. It could sort a few other problems out though!

Gemini makes it all sound quite entertaining.

According to Wikipedia he is out of contract this summer. Is he likely to be offered a new one do you think?

Perhaps, but I am not sure there are any levers available on their selection mechanism to easily reverse or stop the current direction of travel.

Lyons, Hamilton, Thompson, Casey, Pennington, Norburn, Carey, Morgan, Beesley, Joseph, Kouassi, Apter. Purely off the top of my head (so might have missed some) these are the players who we might have left assuming we lose Grimshaw and Gabriel on top of those who are out of contract, and if we...

Whereto From Here?

Would be good to have half a dozen or so academy/young pros around the first team squadI to help bolster it and keep things fresh. Hopefully Apter would be more than this and a first team regular. I really don’t know if we have any that are ready for this or not?

Yes so much more than just a rant. A considered rant maybe? Love the Scott/Oates analogy, and the account of the attempted walk in a post industrial landscape.
