not sure if mentioned on here, but Kompany to Bayern is a bit of a news story... wonder if he's taking any Burnley players with him? That's another team from the league above looking for a manager.

Feels like a step a bit higher than I’d expect DC to be in conversation. Birmingham/Barnsley or similar is a worry but I’d imagine Burnley pick someone off of the usual premier league merry go round

Joe Powell (brother of Jack from Crewe) leaves Burton for Rotherham. Evans has done more business than the rest of the division combined at this point.

At first glance it looked poor what Evans did to stevenage. But imagine an accumulation of seeing what we had for the last couple of weeks at rotheram and they probably said here's a treasure chest. Have to admire him in a way.

Nor will I or you or Kent Teague & Nigel Travis & Mark Stott. His Interest is still making Money & not caring what other think of him, so be suprised with nothing from Winkleman. You seem a little annoyed with Franchise lol, don't take it out on me fella 😀 I wasn't taking anything out on you at all pugwash? Don't know why you think I was. Merely stating that their fans seem to want rid but if he goes they're up shit creek. They don't own anything the parent company does and the parent company makes a lot of money from other ventures. The "he won't live forever" I had hoped was clearly not wholly serious, with the "mortality aside" opener to my following sentence. I was only answering the finance question, most fans want someone from their clubs gone at some point in a season. If he is bored, how can we be sure he'll only sell the club & not the whole shebang?

The assumption (and I’m getting that from reading an MK forum) is that it’s only the football club that he’s bored of, and that they were only ever a vehicle for him to grow his other business interests. It’s messageboard talk so could easily be nonsense. While even if he does sell the whole shebang, who’s to say a new owner won’t look at the profitable music and property development stuff and think: “why am I subsidising this struggling football club when all this stuff could be making me money instead?” It’s hypothetical and supposition but a man can dream. Again, not sure where you thought I was taking anything out on you?

It would be very desirable for one of the Southern based RU (edit) clubs who don't really attach themselves to a community, that and concerts would work well.

It would be very desirable for one of the Southern based RL clubs who don't really attach themselves to a community, that and concerts would work well. Doubt RL would bring in money and it could be a costly exercise getting them into super league with no guarentee of getting decent crowds. Saying that whether people like it or not they have great potential in the future if they rose up the leagues to the championship and having a pop in the PO there. Younger fans with no traditions of supporting a london premier league team might swerve the train on a saturday and support their local club. At least they do not have ground improvements to take money out of the club. No matter how fans dislike how they came into being i think they,ll be around for years to come even with new ownership unlike harrogate and the like who are more or less in the league via there owners but have never kicked on with small grounds with little chance of expansion if they had sell outs anyway.

Adama Sidibe, who was playing for Cheadle Heath Nomads less than 2 years ago, & left Warrington Rylands in January to join St Johnstone, is apparently on the radar of Derby, Middlesborough & Burnley, having scored 5 goals in 7 games in the SPL. Remember seeing our name linked with him before his move to Scotland...could have been another 'Dickinson' moment

Think RU could work in that area where there is a bigger interest in it than where RL is popular.
