I agree about Levi, but I don't think you lose ability unless you suffer serious injury. I do think you can reach a point at which you can no longer use your ability. He was hardly on the pitch at Blyth and when he was and was rated as star player he didn't get in the starting eleven for their next game.

I'm guessing we think there is something wrong with his attitude as we sent him back home to the North East - out of sight out of mind!

As you say he is big, strong, has a bit of skill and is pretty rapid. How often will we unearth a junior with that combination? Oh yes we did - Ricky German. It seems we are developing an anti-training/development pathway.

I wonder if Pembo perhaps has a big down players who display a hint of laziness. As a player he was known as a workaholic. Leeds fans loved him for the effort he put in. Clearly there is something wrong with Levi Amantchi, but when he got on the pitch for us he looked as though he would make it. And now he's not even in the running. Those things don't add up.

Just so you don't put the mockers on Friday for me and stop me grabbing the £63million or whatever from Euromillions Dancing …….. let me say I did hate the man for years but if I bought the club the biggest guarantee you would have that nothing bad would ever happen to it again would be me. First off old AC clearly serves his master and I'd be making sure he knew who was buttering his bread now and how bad an enemy a suddenly enriched fan could be as owner of the club and his boss. Second every time things go quiet for Chesterfield FC a skeleton lurches out of the closet. Even a well-motivated rich owner like me might struggle with something I knew nothing about. Carson knows where any remaining bodies are buried and the story behind them. I'd rather have him close and dependent than off in Spain sipping Sangria. Third, wherever they've come from, his pieces on the website have been the first things ever to hit the right note. And fourth wouldn't it be just wonderful to have him working towards a model of a supporter-owned future for Chesterfield so that I could relinquish my control safe in the knowledge that the club was now something like Union Berlin and that it would be impossible for it ever again to fall into single hands or malign hands? Running more than one team, having a proper development programme, excellent training facilities, great relationships with fans and the entire community and an assured income stream sufficient for the club to live within its means and debt-free. And Carson? He could retire and look back on his career and think wow I was involved with that, instead of waking up every morning knowing every Chesterfield fan was waking up disappointed to find he'd survived another night.

Big problem is that a lot of fans will never forgive him. I dont even think if AC offered free drinks for ever at the soon to be renamed Proact it would swing it. I agree that suddenly seems to know what he is doing and has become a PR Guru overnight, the turn around is incredible.
Hope you do win Euromillions Dev I only charge 10% commission.

A few short weeks ago I'd have agreed with you and every other fan. Now I can see all kinds of advantages in having someone from the old regime by the short and curlies, who knows every false step that has been taken in recent years. However much due diligence you do, you know it won't uncover everything in an organisation as unsuccessful as ours. I think once the fans began to realise that we really did mean to change the club and give it to them in solvent state with a real future ………. I don't think they'd mind if Nigel Farage was Club Secretary and Jacob Rees-Mogg was my live-in lover.

I certainly would. Jesus, how could you?

I would mind as well.

Stadium is called 'Technique Stadium' now.

Nigel Farage as Company Secretary is going too far, I admit, though we might get some attractive Union Jack shirts and a very dodgy sponsor.

I was thinking Jacob Rees-Mogg could go in a cupboard under the stairs like Harry Potter, who he certainly resembles. I must admit in the list of things to which I might find myself physically attracted he does come below Coronavirus.

The Technique Stadium is an absolute gift to sportswriters. The Non-League paper's headline writer will be making a list already. Why can't we have a stadium with a sensible name like Saltergate ……..? The Glasshouse ……….. Pottery Park ……… Canalfields ………… The Cuckoo's Nest ……… Crooked Way …….. NEXT EXIT ……….. END OF THE ROAD ………. DAVENASH Stadium …………..

We played in Union Jack shirts back in 1892-1893.

I've always thought the stadium should be called 'The Spire' We should also have a stand named after a legend like Ernie Moss.

[Devongone]

Yes I know we had Union Jack shirts. Maybe we could go back to being Chesterfield Metropolitan.

The trouble with an Ernie Moss stand is we'd call it Moss Side ………

You see you're gradually coming round to the idea of Nigel Farage as company secretary, you're already lovin' the shirts we haven't designed yet. It's a bit like the Chelsea Flower Show or Eurovision - it isn't goin' to happen, but here it is anyway.

[Dancingwilldoit]

All white players in Union Jack shirts and you want to name one of the stands Moss Side?
