I've been working with a couple of journalists in Asia re Wang Yaohui, and this story has just dropped.

Includes the details that affadavits have been given in court showing Wang Yaohui owns Dragon Villa - and thus a provable stake in both BCFC and BSHL.
The house of cards is coming down....

Collective lot are strangely quiet this eveining
I had a look at the club's list of players and staff and found, not surprisingly, that several of the players who have departed are still on there.
However there was only one member of staff shown, the Manager, (whose future appears to be in doubt.)
But.... there are about 20 vacancies at the club including Academy Admin, Performance Analysis and Kit Man etc.but also the Assistant Manager.
We are told that the wage bill must be reduced so why not offer some of these vacancies to existing players? Читать дальше...
Been living in Liverpool for 2 years now and yesterday saw what seemed like half the city turn out for the bus parade - pretty remarkable really.
Was just wondering why we never had one after the league cup win?
The Club did discuss with Birmingham City Council holding a Civic Reception at the Council House. This was refused by the Council on security grounds, after advice from Leader Mike Whitney, a big Aston Villa supporter and pal of Deadly Doug.
The vile had a Civic Reception for winning the League Cup (their last trophy) in 1996.
Clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right stuck in the Middle with King.

Doing my bracket in being amongst them today. They are just like the Vile and the radio is massaging their ego's and keep shouting YOUUUU REDDDDSSSS. Its all a bit feminine.
Derby fans always talk about them like we do about *illa and I have not really seen it til today. All the plastics are crawling out of the woodwork.

They only went up because of a dodgy ref. If I was a Huddersfield fan I would feel hard done by. 2 penalties imo. Always see those given in the premier league.

Theres an old clich that a week is a long time in football. The last three weeks must have felt like an eternity for some Blues fans as days continue to tick by without any official confirmation on the status of the stadium repairs, Lee Bowyer or the rumoured takeover.

That's not the same dude who confessed to inventing a story about Mike Ashley buying the Blues is it?
Just been listening to a non-football podcast by someone who is a big Forest fan. He is a good sort so I have not fact checked the question he posed and am taking it he is right.
Before this weekend, there were 8 football league clubs who have not played a game at the "New" Wembley i.e. since 2007 (I was surprised so many had in honesty!). Anyway the appearances of Port Vale and Nottingham Forest has reduced this to 6 clubs. Name them?
Preston? They’ve been the championship going nowhere for a while
I sat in the German end in Berlin 2016 and Dortmund 2017, sang the national anthem and celebrated all 3 goals in Berlin. No bother at all, lots of handshakes and ‘well done’s’ at the end of the game. Anyone going in the home end will be sound.

Gif man Plaister now backs the Harris bid wtf is going on.
So much smoke, where the eff is the fire lol
Saint Ettiene lost on penalties in a relegation decider and fans have a pitch invasion and fire flares into the field of play. Horrendous scenes. On top of that last night multiple reports of locals causing trouble in the champions league final. Barking and his lot got a lot to answer to.
