This is not technically correct, he was convicted " in absentia " of abuse of power which is not the same as a corruption conviction. This was hardly a fair process regardless of the merits of the allegations. The only material thing is whether the football authorities in England have any issues with someone in the " fit and proper " consideration.
The Thai legal system is corrupt as they come. He was basically forced out as he was becoming more popular than their King, for throwing money at poor rural areas to enlist votes. Looking at who is regarded “fit and proper” currently, he will have no issues.

No team below 6th would have done any better. We now have 6 winnable games, if we only get 5 points or so from these games coming up, then you would have a valid point, but i fully expect us to be back up to around 8th or 9th position by the end of December

I'm not sure how many on here regularly watch our Academy teams play, but from the little I've seen and heard we don't have a group of players anywhere ready for competing for a first team place. You can't just promote players because we have a lack of cover in certain positions. As to the proposed takeover, Mr. Parish will remain in position in terms of running the club it would seem. Therefore I would not expect a seismic change in personnel but hopefully some meaningful funds to deliver the stadium improvements and strengthen the playing squad. Agree with the first part of this. Although I have only seen a handful of games no one I've seen looks ready to make the step up.

On the subject of our academy I was speaking to someone who saw Ryan Inniss play on Saturday for Newport County v Oldham, a game the visitors won 1-0.Inniss is on loan from our club. It was a poor game,Newport County were disappointing but Inniss won everything in the air.He didn't do anything wrong,headed the ball,passed back to the keeper and cleared his lines. Another of our academy products goalkeeper Tom King was on the bench for Newport.King has actually signed for Newport.Lennie Lawrence who of course was at our club is the Management Consultant at Newport and was at the game in the dugout.

How is it flippant, I've watched many academy games and we are shocking, no one is at a level to step up Any time soon. U23 footy is a very poor standard too.
