Think they lost to York in a friendly other day, the one against local rivals Preston was cancelled and I've just looked on their site to see a first team page of 6 players if that. Phil Parkinson does seem to know that division, on the other hand, though. And only 1 of those hasn't handed in their notice.

Curious if you've seen the new fivethirtyeight world club rankings (they've added more lower professional leagues). Notts are looking up at the whole world, except for Yeovil and a USL club. Not that I would take efforts to compare League Two, Argentine and USL clubs too seriously. But even if you do, nowhere to go but up!

I didn't realize liquidation (as opposed to sale or restructuring) was such a strong possibility. Hanging on the decision of a judge then? Anyway, wrong thread I guess.

I'll post the article in the Non League thread.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 22 July 2019 Posted 22 July 2019 League 1 looks stacked of teams that were successful in the not so distant past, once again. Hope to see Ipswich get their act together and finish in top 2 of League 1, but it looks more likely Sunderland and Portsmouth and even Coventry, Peterborough, Rotherham etc will be ahead of the Tractor Boys.
spacemunky Posted 22 July 2019 Posted 22 July 2019 Rotherham seem like they are stuck in limbo. Do well in L1, get promoted and get their asses handed to them in Championship. Sometimes I wonder, at what point as a supporter do you start to root against promotion?

Yep, their near neighbours Barnsley are the same. And in League 1/2 Wycombe did the very same for years!
Super_horns Posted 24 July 2019 Posted 24 July 2019 Potentially good news for Bolton: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49072909 But Bassini is still hanging around like a bad smell: https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/17788420.laurence-bassini-bolton-wanderers-fans-will-not-stop/
Nalis Posted 26 July 2019 Posted 26 July 2019 Troubling times for Bury too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49110053 It must be tough for teams in the North West, so many football league/premier league teams in such a geographically compact area. It will only get tougher for the smaller clubs to stay in the football league, especially when you consider kids have the alternative choice of either one of the biggest clubs in the world or one of the best teams in the world at their doorstep in Manchester.

Plenty of clubs do fine with lower attendances, but like with bury if you chuck money at players wages that you can't afford the inevitable happens.
StanSP Posted 29 July 2019 Posted 29 July 2019 Quote Bury's opening League One game, at home to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday, has been suspended - but Bolton Wanderers' match at Wycombe can go ahead. The Shakers failed to meet Monday's 17:00 BST deadline set by the English Football League to provide evidence of the club's financial viability. However, the EFL said it had suspended the game "reluctantly". Bolton's submissions satisfied the EFL that they can meet the requirements of the league, with a takeover expected.
Wymsey Posted 29 July 2019 Author Posted 29 July 2019 They shouldn't have been promoted, after their whirlwind past season, to be honest..

Bury got promoted from League Two in May, despite constant concerns in the same season that the club's future looked (and still obviously even more now) very uncertain. Plus the fact their manager Ryan Lowe moved on to Plymouth, and some of their players have left already this summer. It'll be extremely difficult for them to properly plan for the new season ahead in League One with all of them going on and no stability.

I know that, I don't see why they shouldn't have been promoted. What was to stop them?

But they've been struggling to pay HMRC all that season over some due tax bill/s, and personally feel that the Football League should've docked them points in that same season and not this one coming up soon and make them stay in League Two (giving the promotion to the club that finished the next position to them etc) as punishment for not sorting their troubles out ASAP.
SAFC1 Posted 1 August 2019 Posted 1 August 2019 The majority of supporters across the world would usually be gutted to lose their captain.. Not at Sunderland. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/honeyman-to-hull.1481192/
isaidno Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 https://www.weareimps.com/news/2019/august/190802-walker-signs/ Lincoln sign Tyler walker on season loan. Great signing.
SAFC1 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 3 points needed today. Ipswich and Portsmouth up next so its vital we get off to a good start.
isaidno Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Lincoln vs Accrington for me today. Think Lincoln will be comfortably mid table this season.
Tuna Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 Bolton travelling to Wycombe with only 3 senior outfield players. Of course there could be a surprise result, but if it's a heavy win for Wycombe you have to question why the game was not called off.
