Mike. Ronaldo and Bale were seen in the Wolvo Asda's today.could they be signing or just getting in to the new Pizza offer.

Bale Yes, Ronaldo no thanks, gobby little sh*te !!!

Cheers G&B, I needed to stop Charny from doing the hatrick but it got a lot closer than it looked at one time, Two titles in Four years, i'm happy with that.

It seems its you who does not know what you are talking about, but that does not come as a great surprise. Read the above and tell me what I said originally is not true?

Well......, if there is a fine to be paid, they’ll pay it off after 2 games! The owner could probably pay it off with his weekend pocket money allowance!

Or perhaps i do. I do try to wait for the outcome before i put the black cloth on my head for the verdict.

Football League officials have cleared Wolves of any wrongdoing,
• UPDATED16:38, 25 APR 2018

A Wolves statement said: "After meeting with EFL representatives and providing further written detail, a comprehensive review has concluded with confirmation that the EFL is satisfied there has been no breach of its regulations.
"We have always maintained our clarity on both FA and EFL regulations, which have been complied with explicitly since the change of ownership at the club in July 2016.
"We believe the release of these findings will bring to a conclusion any speculation surrounding the club's operation and extinguish any concerns held by other clubs.”

Unfortunately G&B it is true. What Wolves spent and the way they got the players did not break any rules but my god they bent them. I don't expect you to agree. If Town could only do the same? or any other club come to that?

looking on this from our side Derek, what our new owners are saying the rules in this country are to benefit the top 6 only. the whole aspect of these clubs who play in the champions league and there income they can spend obscene amounts of money, where the likes of the rest of us are restricted to what we spend. the owners of Wolves are saying this is not fair trading in business sense. this Fosum groups wealth makes Wolves the 4th richest club in this country but cant invest the money that say Spurs can.

these players we loaned on the understanding we had first option of buying them was good business if you think about it.
all these player are in there early 20s and not journey men.
John Terrys wages at the Vile was more than all these new players wages put together.
we had 5 British players playing most games last season, more than the most premier or championship teams.

Derby, Middlesborough, and the Vile spent more money on players and wages than Wolves.

don't think we were so wrong in what we did as folk think.

I had read about this in a small Metro sports news column. Bloody scary sh*t. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if it was their president who organised it.
What a massive score for Wolves though. He’s a top class keeper.

——————

Here is a scoop for you, Wolfie. I know you like football history and you’ll like this one. Apologies if it’s long winded....... AND ITFC fans (and any fans) , maybe a small lesson on how to be a better supporter of your club.

I installed a new boiler and new stove for a colleague of my wife this past week. I’ve known her for years and I also knew that her grandad played football. At a wedding a few years back, she was speaking about a few things football related and I remember not being able to hear her due to the music so the conversation fizzled out.

This week however I started the conversation by asking if her partner was still a stinking Jambo bstd (although I worded it differently) This started off the football chat.
I knew she was from Motherwell, (her accent is superb, not full horrible Glasgow but an in between Edinburgh/Glasgow accent....... a mid M8 accent!) and she was speaking about her brother who is a Motherwell season ticket holder and goes to all away games also etc etc.

Then the grandad came into the conversation. I was gobsmacked by the stuff she was telling me and I’ll post a wiki link at the end of this.

He played for Motherwell as a centre forward,...... crazy stats, played something like 288 games and scored 284 goals!!!
But the very best stat was after he moved to Cardiff City. Only English teams had ever won the FA Cup. But in the 20s, Cardiff City were the first club outside of England to win the FA Cup, and her grandad scored the goals! His Cardiff City stats were incredible also. What really amazed me was the way she didn’t make a big deal of it. She was like: “Oh yeah my grandad played football. He was quite good at it!”
quite good? Wasn’t until I wiki’d him, did I realise how “good” he was.

BUT....... unfortunately a very sad but. He moved to Dens Park in Dundee and after 17 games and 2 goals, he killed himself. (Pretty sure Dundee would have that effect on me also)
Seriously though she said that after a particular game when they lost, they were booed off and he had heard his name being screamed a few times. He held back until everyone else left and gassed himself. He was only 34, and her granny was only 27. Her dad was only 6 years of age when he done this.

I actually had to be in the Balerno area of Edinburgh yesterday but I cancelled it due to sitting chatting with her for literally three hours about this. Tragic end for her grandad but what he did in his short life was incredible. And you can see resemblances of her in the picture of him, especially the eyes.

It says something about an inner ear issue and probable brain tumour but she says that must be another, older family member who written this. What is fact is he suffered from bouts of depression and the boos at Dens Park sent him over the edge. That’s what her dad was told in later years.

Anyway, thought I’d share her grandads story, I know you’ll appreciate it.

fascinating story Marco and a great read. two big points comes across reading that. 1 is How proud she must of been of her grandad and you. you giving up so much time to listen to her story. proud of both of you mate. I know Hughie Ferguson would be.

can you see a resemblance to Duncan Ferguson
