Think you are a bit mixed up there about Megson. The hard to beat premiership football was under fat Sam, who also sprinkled it with stardust from Djorkaeff, Okocha, Campo, Hierro, Anelka etc. Sam got them into europe for the first time in their history then jumped ship, with Megson coming in as 4th choice after Bruce, Coleman and Souness had all turned it down. The Bolton fans turned on Megson because after a 1-1 home draw against Sporting Lisbon in the last 16 of the EUFA cup, Megson upset the fans by putting out a reserve side in Lisbon for the return leg and lost 1-0. Megson picked a reserve side so that the first team were rested for Sunday's relegation battle against Wigan Athletic. They then proceeded to lose 0—1 to a ten-man Wigan side. That was when he lost the fans.
Anybody being interviewed will only be a possible candidate because they are out of work after being sacked for being shite somewhere else. Football must be the only industry where they actively seek to appoint someone who has failed somewhere else as a first choice. Any forward thinking club should be looking at new blood, not failed dinosaurs stuck on the managerial merry-go-round.
If you look at what happened t'other side of Heywood, Lowe struggled to start with because a) he had no experience, b) he had no help and c) he inherited a load of shite. It was inevitable they would go down but they got Lowe some experienced help in the form of Kelly, got rid of the shite, regrouped, and the rest, as they say, is history. What's the point of bringing someone else in now, he ain't going to work miracles with the squad he inherits in the time left. Get BBM some help, let him make changes so that it is his team going forward, and support him while he is learning his trade. There were plenty at Gigg who thought Lowe wouldn't hack it and look at them now. Give BBM some support and he might just surprise everyone.
Went along last night, 2 poor teams, it will be a while yet before Latics ignite.
Rubbish 1st half, Clark set Bury up with 5 across the back and no midfield, leaving the forwards isolated and obviously going for the draw. Even so Oldham managed to walk through the defence without a challenge to go one up. Different story second half, Bury had to come out, went for it from the off and equalised within a couple of minutes. Got on top and started to play some reasonable stuff but then Clark buggered it up again by making needless substitutions and unbalancing the team. Last 5 minutes Bury decided to go for it and were camped in Oldham's half. Beckford should have scored, Oldham goalie got to it, it went high in the air and then dropped into his arms as he lay on the ground. Goalie punted the ball straight down the other end, every Bury player bar one caught in the Oldham half, Oldham forward said thanks very much and Bob's your uncle in the 94th minute. A lot of very unhappy Bury fans, I can tell you. As I said, 2 poor teams rightfully down at the bottom.
It was other teams' cast-off kids I was referring to, not Beckford etc. Bury's 'youth policy' is not about bringing 9 year olds through 6 years of academy, it's about letting other teams do that and then identifying the ones that got away. For example, Styles was released by Burnley, Tsun Dai was with Reading last season, Bedeau was let go by Orient.
Think you'll find they still have plenty of youngsters around the first team squad - Styles, Tsun Dai, Shotton and Harker to name a few - with more coming through. Credit where credit is due, they are concentrating on other teams' cast-offs and bypassing developing the young kids, and they are finding some gems - either that or Stewie is an even bigger con artist than I thought he was if he can persuade other clubs to part with good money for duds.
It was called Blood from a Stone. Sam Nyer is a World War II veteran living in Bangor, Maine, who says that in 1945, he came upon and killed German SS officers divvying up confiscated loot.
He and a fellow infantry scout grabbed some "life diamonds," uncut precious stones that likely were taken from Jews at death camps who held on to them as portable wealth.
And they buried them on the French-German border, intending a return that death and injury made impossible.
In 1988, Nyer attended a talk by Yavon Svoray, a former Israeli soldier and something of an adventurer. His undercover work in the neo-Nazi movement inspired the HBO film "The Infiltrator."
Svoray believed Nyer's story and so In 1988, Yvon Svoray and Richard Hammer launched a treasure hunt along the French-German border. The result of this expedition was recounted in a book by Svoray and Hammer, Blood from a Stone: The Quest for the Life Diamonds.
A TV documentary based on this book -- and also on the incredible history of the diamonds themselves -- was aired by the History Channel on June 9, 2003
Another Sunday and Sweet FA was filmed in Manchester in the Swinton/ Pendleton area, the pitch is up high and you can see the towers of Agecroft Power Station and the winders of Agecroft Colliery in the distance. It was also one of Anne Kirkbride's first acting roles, she got the job as Deirdre Barlow in Corrie off the back of this performance. Plenty of other faces that became well known too.
BBC's Play for Today was a great series but the play you remember wasn't from that series, it was from ITV's Sunday Night Theatre. It was called Another Sunday and Sweet F.A. and was written by Jack Rosenthal.
Long-suffering weekend referee Mr. Armistead (David Swift) refuses to give up on trying to teach the rougher elements of Co-op Albion and Parker Street Depot about fairness, sportsmanship, and restraint. No matter what the provocation, or how much testosterone is flying through the air, Mr Armistead brings his own home-grown philosophy of life to bear on the players, whether they want to hear it or not.
Born Kicking? That wasn't a series itself though, it was a one-off on BBC in 1992 in the Screen One drama series, with Eve Barker playing a girl footballer called Roxanne Reddy (yes, really). Think it was filmed at QPR.
Micro Business = less than 10 employees & turnover under £2 million Small Business = less than 50 employees & turnover under £10 million Medium Business = Less than 250 employees & turnover under £50 million
The employees number will be well over 50 with all of Stewie's recruitment, that will be what has pushed them into the medium bracket.
Before a winding up ORDER can be issued by the Courts, a winding up PETITION has to be served.
Process of issuing a winding up petition: Typically a creditor asks a solicitor to "wind the debtor company up" to recover debts, or to stop the company making its debts worse. This can be any creditor with debts over £750.
An application is made to the high court (PETITION) to ask the court to wind the company up.
The Court will grant a hearing date to "hear" the petition. If the company does not respond, or if no defence is mounted, then it is usually a matter of the judge issuing a WINDING UP ORDER.
So before a winding up ORDER can be issued there has to be a winding up PETITION. And before a PETITION can be served the intention to serve it has to be advertised in the London Gazette for 7 days before the serving and 7 days after. If you check the London Gazette (you can do it online, WU Orders are notice 2452 and WU Petitions are 2450) you will find that there has not been a PETITION issued yet. Ipso facto no Winding Up ORDER can be issued until after this happens.
Not saying this won't happen and we are still deeply in the smelly stuff but methinks the only winding up going on at present is on this board ;)
You are getting a bit of stick from some of the happy clappys on our MB for daring to offer an opinion re Joygate. Whilst I know there is the odd six-fingered wind-up merchant taking advantage of the situation, I believe most of you are genuinely offering observations to try to persuade some of our more intellectually challenged wazzocks to take off their rose-tinted glasses. Good luck with that one, Bury will win the FA Cup again before some of them see the light.
You’ve got one or two of our lot posting on here already (R11 is one of the good guys but Didds is just a know-all wind-up merchant with more mouth than substance) but just thought you might be interested in an alternative view of the goings on a Giggle.
Going back a couple of years, Bury FC was ripe for the picking. A football league club with little debt that owned it’s own ground, but the club was being poorly managed with serious cashflow problems and the then chairman wanted to get out. Along come a couple of chancers who see an opportunity to play at running a football club with no risk to themselves. They promise the world (apparthotels, exec boxes, pop festivals, boxing matches, regular fans forums, ‘run as a business’, championship in 5 years etc etc) and the Shaker Ryans of this world wet themselves. They borrow money at silly rates (probably not as daft as it sounds, it gets very incestuous when you start to look at the links between the different companies, and if businesses are linked there are tax offset advantages) and secure the loans against the ground, so if it all goes tits up they walk away but the club disappears. It’s shit or bust. If they get to the championship they can take the money and run, if they don’t they can just walk away. They aren’t supporters, they have no emotion vested in the club. I have no problem with people trying to make money out of running a football club per se but not if it puts the club at risk.
Once they had their feet under the table and control of the club, they realised that FB was very weak and started to treat them with even more contempt than previous Bury FC Boards. The FB Board has to take some blame, unfortunately most of them think the world revolves around the cabin and car boot sales, not the governance of the football club. Joy, a nice lady, was completely out of her depth and was being given the run around by SD and his bouncer mate GT. But she should not have resigned, FB should have stood up to SD and gone straight to the press and sponsors if he didn’t back down. Unfortunately they were more worried about the cabin being kicked off the car park if they made a fuss. Now FB has lost it’s Board seat and is unlikely ever to get it back.
FB are about to issue a statement and are busy putting the spin out hailing some ‘significant developments’. No doubt you will all have a good laugh at our expense when these ‘significant developments’ are revealed. I’m not holding my breath, and I assure you I am not alone. The only good thing to come out of the latest episode is that some of the diehard #enjoytheride happy clappys are actually beginning to see the light and question what is going on.
