All League 2 transfers so far

Quoted from Croxton

Yes, and my good lady reminds me that the hare wins the race.

Colchester entered another tortoise in the race today. Philip Day could have written this Chairman's Statement.

I fail to see why you are so disparaging about a chairman setting out the facts and explaining why it can't be business as usual. You might also note how little their fans have raised and how much they have paid out in refunds (compare and contrast with our magnificent total of over £200,000). So he is quite right to be worried and cautious. In 12 months time it will be the likes of us and Colchester who come out of this in a better position than those who are gambling and ' flashing the cash'

Quoted from Croxton

Not only have Bolton signed loads of players and are trialling more e.g. today against Wigan, but they managed to go on a training camp at Loughborough Univ. The Covid infection rate in much of Lancs. is 3 or 4 times higher than N.E. Lincs. Are players tested before preseason games?
They will play their SIXTH preseason game against Blackburn soon and are selling season tickets as if fans are going to be at each game.
The report on today's friendly is up on the club site. New manager, Evart, urging fans to join 'the revolution'.

Compared to our lack of impetus, news and lowered expectations, Bolton are gung ho!

I wonder what deal Jamie Mascoll, (Ex Wycombe pacy left sider) is on. No wonder Ollie is so frustrated by the salary cap.

Bolton are the Hare. We are shaping to be the Tortoise in this race.

Our board voted for and welcomed the salary cap. Ollie is a member of said board.

Edit:- The tortoise wins of course. My typing error.

No disparagement, just an observation that the Colchester Chairman is setting out the financial realities to their fans and that survival is a priority. He points out that the club were already top heavy as a squad.
His litany of ways that the EFL and tax authorities have supported clubs could indeed have been written by Philip Day. His kicking cans analogy is apt.
Pointing to that is not disparaging.
I did indeed note the disparity in fans financial support compared to our efforts. I would not post a link to a Statement I had not read.

Sorry, cant use hymn sheet anymore, this asssumes that if your not a Christian then you are not included, it has to be songbook or song sheet now, in case you offend someone (but what if your tone death and cant sing then could they find it offensive) (but then again its only written in English so am I discriminating against people whos first language is not English) , where does it end aaaarrrgghhhh  

It ends when the politically correct brigade and the so-called 'snowflakes' realise that their actions are causing more problems in the world than they are solving.

If they think they can change history, they have another thing coming. As an example, do they honestly think that changing a sign for Guy Gibson's black labrador, is going to stop people calling him N*****? He has always had that name. Times were different back then. Odd how it was never questioned back then!

Soon they will be trying to claim that WW1 and WW2 should be written out of history, because of the use of non-white labour forces not being seen as equals on the battlefield.

Its odd how in football, non-white players have always been remembered fondly in history, going all the way back to Walter Tull, even though there was the very nasty racism from so-called supporterswhich come to a head in the 70s and 80s.

Are they going to try to change football and its history? Probably, but they will fail miserably.

Can anyone else smell gammon?

As maybe but Ollie has said he thinks it won't work. Can't find the clip but I'm sure he said 'let the rich clubs spend but as soon as they miss paying a milk bill fine them three points.'

Like the Colchester chairman says, you can only kick the cans down the road for so long.

Yes indeed. As one of hundreds of new shareholders, I don't want us to chase Bolton and come a cropper by Christmas. We have a lot in our favour so patience is in order.

For a bit of parity has anyone got the list of players released by clubs and how many pros were on the books?

Signing 15 players may have been necessary for some.
