The key to Dave Richards success &  Wednesday's downfall is - A funny Handshake

Every body misses the point with Dave Richards . They should check out his time with 5 star engineering

Having first tried to get out of paying Nantes by saying Sala wasn't their player . They are now trying a different approach with their insurers . They tried to insurer him for £20 mill the day after his death . If your in a hole stop digging

If I remember rightly it was about £14/15m they were paying for him at the time of signing.

So if their instalment of £7m was plus interest, then maybe it is more than 2 instalments..

The first instalment was for £5.3 mill which went up to £7 with interest .

I am a bit puzzled,  surely Sala should have been insured by somebody . Nantes sold him so off their insurance but as Cardiff now saying that they didn't actually sign him he would not have been added to their insurance . Seems to be a fuck up all round

All ways looked to lightweight  for me - a boy in a man's game

did see him at our away game at Oxford some years ago

I was at the Santos game in 72 . I was a student at Middleborough at the time , a load of us drove down just to see him . I think there was a doubt about Pele's fitness whether he would play or not . But he did but was heavily strapped at one point today he would not have been risked

Interesting read on Crawley's new owners and how they see NFTs as a way of funding the club.

Nah, he's a shoo in Widow Twanky one season

Oh no he isn't

Given the proliferation of Gambling money thrown at premier Leauge clubs - Pot Kettle black comes to mind

DM must have got a new hat to pick the team from

BUT details of how it is being financed has yet to be announced could be another Burnley type deal

Result better than performance

Sam Winnall -same

Criminal Investigation rather than anything by UEFA, something to do with player registrations . Plus they lost something in the region of 249 Million euros .

Another nail in the coffin of the european super league as Agnelli was one of the main forces behind it

Do we have an approach ? or does that come from Darren Moore's Magic Hat as well

DM must have got a new hat to make team selection from

Morning Dave

Dave who ?

There is more to the Di Canio story . I worked for a French Group with UK subsiduary based in Sheffield . We had  an Exec seconded to us from France for a few years . His kids were in the same school as Di Canio's and they knew him quite well . At the start of Term in September Di Canio's kids not there , they  had left . The story being Di Canio was not going to be in Sheffield for very long .  Our Exec allways suspected Di Canio  orchestrated  the incident in order to get away

Appears not to be the only one in bovver

Should have been sacked sooner but Dithering Dave was being lined up at Chairman ( Yes )Man for the Premier League and thought the sacking might reflect badly on him

I have a mate that lives in Calgary . Managed to get his picture taken with the team . My copy is in the loft somewhere will try to find it

Agreed. Hard enough finding the money for none essential stuff without being left to pay extra to get there. I'd assume some couldn't. An apology doesn't really cover what they paid for tickets and travel. Any who couldn't make other arrangements and those that did pay extra should be refunded for the amount due by the company. Very much doubt 2 coaches broke down at the same time either.

Have to agree . Any decent travel Company would have a Plan B which usually meant a cross hire from another coach company
