This is hardly exhustive reserach but from what I can see you have to drop down to the Nothern Premier League Division One North where in the 2015/16 season New Mills AFC's record was P42 / W0 / D3 / L39
The worst Football League proper record I can find is way back in 1899/1900 when Loughborough played in what is now The Championship and their record for the season was P34 / W1 / D5 / L27 with a goal difference of -82 (F18 - A100)
Sunderland did set a record in the early/mid 2000's for 20 consecutive PL defeats, unless that's been bettered since?
Way to go yet then  |

If, by some freak of nature, that hurricane (I flatly refuse to use its name) had veered off course and instead of Florida suffering it had crossed the Atlantic, made its way up the Channel, dodged the IOW and hit Portsmouth full on it would have done about Ā£100mās worth of improvements š |

Manning will play in a Captain Jack face mask with a shoehorn tucked into his left sock so he can roam around quelling the might of the Arsenal attacking threat. |

Spot on. If this comes in, then well & truly gone, and gone for good.
Clubs like ours will be no better off because the scumbag agents will want every penny of what was the transfer fee for the player they represent as an even more over inflated signing on fee or alternatively paid in chunks as higher wages every month. In that scenario it would be pointless us signing Ramsdale, for example, letās say we paid him Ā£10m signing on fee in lieu of a transfer fee and maybe an extra Ā£25k a week also in lieu of a fee then in December letās say Newcastleās keeper gets the same injury Bazunu got and off Ramsdale goes without any financial compensation to us. Just would not be worth the risk as the better off clubās would literally pick off all the best players as and when they wanted to.
The only benefit I can see would be if players no longer have a value we could simply get rid of the likes of Ross Stewart without having to pay off a huge contract, if you are not getting anything for a player when they leave then why have them on anything other than a three month rolling contract? Same for managers for that matter! And loyalty bonuses can go in the trash bin as well. Also, might as well scrap the Academy because if you produce a Dibling heāll be gone for nothing with four weeks notice so whatās the point?
All I can see is the clubs with rich owners getting further and further away from the rest of us, so as you rightly say, the gameās gone.
RIP Association Football for the majority of us, the plastics will inherit the earth. [Post edited 4 Oct 20:34]

If we are not very careful RMās asinine treatment of Dibling will cost us the services of the player permanently. As it stands, it appears the TD has a genuine affection for SFC, evidenced by his swift return after leaving for the supposedly greener pastures of Chelsea. However much he loves it here, the āadvisersā that will inevitably surround him now will not put up with the mismanagement of his undoubted talent for long. Itās going to be a hard enough battle to keep him as it is but continue to mismanage his development like RM did on Monday evening and he will be out of the door in January. |

God help us
Last Saturday, RM had the opportunity to watch our upcoming opponents this weekend playing at home against a fellow promoted side from last season. It would have been beneficial anyway but the benefits were doubled up by the fact that a fellow promoted side, 2-0 down at half time, would have shown him how to get back into the game and come away with a precious point. On top of that, Leicester are are next home opposition so a double opportunity to run the rule over both of our next two opponents at the same time. So, where was RM? Apparently in Winchester having lunch with Lucy Pinder. Nice to see heās got his priorities right!
Can you imagine suggesting to Sir Alex Ferguson that instead of watching his next two upcoming opponents play each other on a free day for Man U that he took us wife out to lunch instead?! There wouldnāt be enough different @%# symbols on the keyboard to accurately transcribe his reply! |

Dwarf 4th Officials? Theyāre not big and theyāre not clever
Mind you, it could have been worse if Captain Jack, in the heat of the moment, had indulged in a bit of dwarf hurling, a-la Mike Tindall, and lobbed the 4th official over the benches into Row J of the Itchen! |

Think I will do the same. The last episode of Nightsleeper is on BBC 1 at 9.00pm, was going to watch it later on i-Player but think I will just give the second half a miss. |

Comes to something when the 18 y/o may well be rested as he is undoubtedly the best of the forwards and we will probably field a near reserve XI.
Canāt believe Iām saying this but I think weād have been marginally better off if Che had signed a new contract then one of Diaz or Archer would not be here. That said I donāt think you will see the best of Diaz stuck out wide. |

Hopefully the recruitment analyst that recommended Archer has just packed his bags and left for Arsenal. We need to find a replacement that is of the same calibre as the recruitment analysts at Brighton. Easy to say but probably not so easy to do. |

Agreed, about as good as it gets from what was available. |
