Nice one Mike Batt [Link]

Speculative article that to be honest is not particularly well written (seems written by chatgpt) and doesn't do a good job of explaining what this investment actually is. However good that there has been a leak as that means we should be pretty close to an actual announcement by the club which will hopefully go into more detail.

Proper F1 cars from the 60s racing at Goodwood on Sky.

(I’m guessing the answer is that it’s whether the ref sees a player as being in an attacking or defensive position at the time of the handball incident - and also whether they’re wearing an MK or a Wimbledon shirt too of course…)

Hopefully the right link this time [Link]

RP - exactly, and what about midfielders….?

We’re a football club not a WeWork.

The whole youth conveyor belt route failed at Chelsea so I don’t see why we should try to replicate it at L1/L2 level and expect any different.

What if an attacker is defending? What is he then?

OI - that’s a weird one, I hadn’t realised there were different handball rules for attackers and defenders… Thanks for clarifying though :)

Imagine being like 25% owned by Carlyle, KKR private equity! Im struggling to see this get past the members

a4e - an attacker who wasn't penalised for it? Rules for defenders and attacketrs on handball in the penalty area are different, however ridiculous that seems. Goal ruled out if any hand/arm contact, penalty only given when non-accidental or not in natural body shape.

If we want to keep majority ownership then a plan like Bertrand's is the only route, we just have to hope he is smarter than Ratcliffe at Yernited. The key is how losses are covered whilst he gets his conveyour belt of youth going, assuming the theory works.

Rangers second goal against Celtic disallowed because the scorer handled the ball in the same way that the MK player did against us…..

Well if we have a side of young talent, might as well get Robbo back and relegation.

I might be wrong but wasn’t he at the Doncaster game ?

That rings all kinds of alarm bells Meadow - says his main interest is in taking over the football side of the club when arguably that’s the only bit that we’ve currently got working half ok.

Take it with a pinch of salt but [Link]

Doing a daytrip to Florence as technically it's shoulder season now. Mainly to take that photo of the Duomo from the foothills across the river that you see in Room With a View and elsewhere ;-)

Beautiful square and yes a nice walk around the walls to work off the pasta and grappa.

Going there next week. My favourite place is Lucca between Pisa & Florence. Old Tuscan walled town that gets bypassed by the hordes. Working my way down to Palermo by train over two weeks. No football ;-)

Recommend the Umbria/Tuscany border.

I wasn’t looking for tips OI :) I was looking at nick’s link

The dog track in TF's post had a nicer exterior than what it was when it was recladded
