    What happens if they are unable to field a team next week and unable to fulfil a fixture? And presumably they will have problems playing at home if they can’t pay the staff to make it safe to watch?

    They've got enough players to field a team (Chansiri has elected not to pay the players with a limited resale value) and they'll just close off the unsafe areas. It's going to be a car crash but I don't think it will be as bad as we think - particularly if Rohl is still managing and focused.

    Thanks for that. Okay, sadly it won’t be Christmas and my birthday combined just yet.

    Was not a friendly, was a "training exercise". To use Putin speak.

    They've enquired about a ground share with Rovrum incase they can't get a safety certificate apparently.
    I assume that'd just be for family members, dunno where the other millions will sit.

    Hopefully the wages get paid and they continue to limp on under Sir Chansiri


    How would people feel about us doing a ground share with them? Rotherham far too small to house their countless fans but I reckon Oakwell could.

    would be quite amusing and bring some much needed cash into the club. We could lend them a few of our youngsters too.

    Fine by me, but you’d definitely want the money upfront, I don’t think an invoice is going to get paid by that @sshole.

    Apparantly Journalist Alan Nixon has reported today that Chansiri has set a new asking price of £100m for the sale of the club.

    I think that's what he's always stated he wanted.

    I thought he wanted to recoup the supposed 150 million he's put in from the start. When the farce got worse a couple of months or so ago.?
    Hence the new supposed asking price.

    "As a fan I kind of see where he's coming from. We ARE worth over £100m when you factor in history, fanbase and potential for branding (old badge clothing line, wouldn't need to be an owls fan to enjoy branded clothing) truly a global football club."

    I think a new word needs to be invented.

    Delusion doesn't do it justice anymore.
