Have you looked at the Highland League lately?

Lossiemouth have conceded 114 goals in 27 games with a goal difference of -90. And they're not even bottom! That's Fort William, who've let in 170 in 24 games and a goal diff of -154.

Lossiemouth beat Fort William 5-0 last week. They’ve spoken about Fort William alot on the Football Ramble. Want to go up there to watch a game at some point soon. It’s one of the most picturesque grounds around.

Yeah for me the shocking thing was the state the club were in, not just the scoreline. Read to the bottom of the article, the club's in a right mess

Happens to be my great, great grandfather's birthplace. Sadly, things went literally downhill for the family from there, via Glasgow and Brum.

Did he grow up there? Can think of worse places spend your youth.

Walked past that ground when I was staying at Glen Nevis, night before doing the Three Peaks Challenge. Unfortunately i never went to a game there.

Born and died there, buried in a local cemetery. Luckily he was a stone mason, so I expect the last slab he carved saved on the costs....

If I was involved with the skyblues I would definately organise a 4 team pre season friendly tournament in early July between us Lossiemouth, Fort William and Pro Piacensa.
Christ that would build our confidence pre season 2019/20

And Chelsea...

Is that part of the agreement in Jorginho’s next move? Guessing that’s the level he’ll end up playing at if it carries on like he is.

I wonder if his demand is more than £25m. He could then control the process couldn’t he?

Simon Jordan spoke about this prior to Karl O sueing the club. The only way the club could come out of receivership is by paying the £25M debt. So if his demand were in that vicinity it would more than likely be his motive. But given that the legal action only concerns disputed wages, I highly doubt he’d be able to get anywhere near £25M from that process alone but who knows. IMO he’s just trying to get one last payday, and getting back at his father for effectively replacing Karl with his sister

I would say that is the most likely outcome. However I wouldn’t put it past to try it. Especially because of who the Receiver is.

He might try but there's very little chance of it happening. The Employment Tribunal has confirmed it's related to wages so unless he's physically owed £25M (which I find very hard to believe) he won't get anywhere near the Blackpool boardroom again.

Why does it matter who the Receiver is?

Because of DRP’s history of how they handle football clubs with problems.

What clubs have they previously handled? Tried to look online but couldn't find anything

They were SISU’s choice as an administrator.
