can the new owners start up a Pravda-esque radio station and write insane ramblings in the program, you know, for old time's sake?

The thing with the discourse around Luton’s ground is that match going fans love it. Dog poo poo grounds are the best. I’m glad Luton have gone up now because the Premier League has already been robbed of Griffin Park in favour of Brentford moving into the worlds most boring stadium.

Off to Wembley tomorrow to see if Wednesday consign that miracle second leg to a pointless history.

Bannan seems truly, genuinely committed to this “put it right” mission he’s on with the club in a way that’s.. pretty rare in football these days. Regardless what happens I’m expecting him to put in a big shift, and he’s difficult to live with in League One (or The Championship) when he puts those performances in. Barnsley is never, ever an easy game for us though.

And thanks!

We are delighted to confirm that Bury Football Club will be back playing at Gigg Lane for the new season.

The FA have now confirmed that the name Bury Football Club can be used in competition, and a squad is ready to start the 2023/24 season in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.

The club will use its full name, Bury Football Club, and the abbreviated Bury FC where appropriate. Where team names have a suffix, we will use Bury FC in the team name, for example Bury FC Reserves, Bury FC Women.

The North West Counties Football League will simply show ‘Bury’ in all fixture lists and league table, in accordance with their convention.

We want to thank all the people and organisations that have made this possible and who continue to support us on and off the pitch.

Please join us on our adventure and become a member to help fund the club and allow you a say on how it is run. Everyone is welcome to join us on our wonderful journey.

Up the Shakers and see you in July!

Think he hates Leeds too much for that after bielsa insidiously and deviously watched one of his training sessions to learn his management secrets

Also we tried poo poo American manager and poo poo American players so let's give poo poo American owners a spin

£170m is the reported amount which feels like no money at all. Either Leeds go back up in which case it's a bargain for a prem club or they get trapped in the EFL zone forever and waste a load of money in which case lol owned

Jeez, between Chelsea transfer windows and the Saudi Arabian league it’s difficult to judge what amount of money means what these days. That’s less than a year of Benzema, right?

Also, what’s the general mood at this point on which EFL teams will be pushing for the top spots next season? Given the Premier League relegations, League 1 promotions and general state of the rest of the league, etc.

to be honest at this stage, before the transfer window really has kicked on and loans have been made, nobody knows. everyone's expecting Southampton to do pretty well and keep a fair few good players, Leicester will likely re-invest the money they get for Maddison and Barnes pretty well, same goes for Cov and how much they get for Gyokeres and Hamer, WBA got hit hard by injuries and may lose Corberan to Leeds, Leeds have new ownership and will be getting rid of a lot of players, Birmingham finally got new ownership and have a strong core, Ipswich really look like they're in a good position...it's going to be a really interesting season.

For what it's worth I've read that the San Francisco 49ers are very well run as an organization. They don't have to contend with promotion and relegation in the NFL, but still I'm happy to give them a crack at majority ownership over the incredibly vain man who sends weepy DMs to YouTubers and fucks off to Italy to try to buy another club in the middle of his current club being relegated.

Now that Orta isn't there to sign 7,000 wingers when we need a replacement for Bamford and some better defenders, hopefully 49ers put some people who know what they are doing in charge of running the club and stay behind the scenes cutting checks.

Taking pep’s assistant worked out for Arsenal, so will definitely work out for us. Just glad it’s not any of the half dozen failed name former players that have been linked to Leicester. Now to simply build an entire new team and crush the most competitive league in the world on the first attempt.

Tell you what, there can’t be many clubs in world football that have had a 4-6 weeks like Wednesday have;

- First club in history to get 96 points and not go up automatic
- Lost first leg 4-0
- Win second leg 5-1 and win on pens
- Win final in 123rd minute
- Manager leaves by “mutual consent” the week the fixtures are out

Never know anything like it.
