desperado wrote: 21 May 2024, 13:14 To be fair to Johnson though, looks like Lolos has grown up and listens to instructions which he didn't do here. He was a talented but loose cannon, you can't just go out on the pitch and do your own thing.
And yet, Arkell Jude Boyd publicly thanked Downes during a videoed interview for allowing him the freedom to play in whichever role he chose,
saying “ not many managers would allow that”. This “ freedom” coincided with a sharp upturn in his performance and the team’s

But I take your point.

Shameful and humiliating

Away Kit?

All of the kits are awful. Who picks them? They look cheap. If they come into existence, I will not be buying. Go with something original.
Go with something original?

I’d say that these are totally original!!

Yes, you are correct. On ticking the filter box to show only the “current” officers, it just lists the 5 names we are already aware of. Think CP Gull May well be right about Lovell being the 6th member.

Further to this, Companies House shows Scoring Goals Ltd as having 6 officers associated with the company, but only lists the 5 names we are already aware of.

New manager announced - Paul Wotton

It seems to be widely believed that the 1 player we still have on contract is Austen Booth, but Transfermarket shows only one player under contract until June 2025, and that is Brett McGavin. Having listened to the podcast from Wotton and Warnock, Wotton stated he would only have players who could run. Not sure where that leaves McGavin, who despite his obvious talents is no runner. That’s presuming he would want to stay, which may not be the case.

I was wondering who the 6th member could be too. Just seems a little strange that his name hasn’t been mentioned in light of the refreshingly open style of communication from the new consortium. :oops:

To take over the club, you would need a single investor, partnership (two people) or a company. This is what you are seeing, a company take us over and you can see it being formed. There may be additional names arriving to invest. The people involved are true supporters, have financial backing and now need our backing.

Fingers crossed this deal can get over the line in time. I would assume, they will update us all soon and confirm if dates are tight or reachable. For now the airways may be a little quite, remember all their time and effort is going into this deal.
In the administrator’s statement on 1st May, they announced that they hope to make a “further progress announcement next week”, so presumably we can expect that sometime this week. Hopefully this indicates that progress is indeed being made 😅🤞

MellowYellow wrote: 01 May 2024, 19:37 A minor point. Is it four or five consortium members? According to Companies House, Westcott and three others (Bowes-Cavanagh, Allen and Robinson) became directors of Scoring Goals Limited today. I can see no reference to Rob Hawes who was named as one member of the consortium under the new ‘preferred bidders’ by the club administrators –


Robert Hawes is shown as one of the directors of Scoring Goals Limited, active as of May 1st

Infandous?? Just had to look it up - “infandous” is defined as something too odious to be expressed or mentioned.

Love it when I learn a new word :nod:

Wonder if Ben Gerring is involved. He must have a bit of money selling all those luxury cars, plus he was at Taunton and also donated a meal for four raffle prize last week. Just saying…..

Taunton Town v Torquay United Tues 16 April KO 19.45.

Skillsy wrote: 17 Apr 2024, 13:02 I spoke to Aaron Jarvis last night and he said his knee isn't good. He said there was no chance he would be fit for Saturday. Accusations that he doesn't want to play are unfair.
I completely agree Skillsy.

Watching Jarvis celebrate on the pitch at the final whistle, there was absolutely no doubt that he was genuinely delighted at our win and league survival. It must be really unpleasant for him to read snide comments suggesting his reluctance to play when he is in fact genuinely injured. Ditto for Dawson.

As we were leaving the ground, Jarvis was singing and dancing in the car park, as elated as any other fan.

In fact EVERY single member of the squad were clearly overjoyed and there was no doubt whatsoever that we truly were United in our relief and celebration of our beloved club’s survival. Let’s look to the future now.

The future is Yellow!
