So on Friday me and the current Mrs Bono went out out in LDN town to take in a show.
Got the train/bus replacement/train back to Suffolk yesterday. Don't usually wear colours when not at football but I wore one of my old-skool scarves on the train.
Train pulls into Colchester en-route for Nodge and a Budgie gets on, complete with tracksuit, hat, scarf, Norwich club shop carrier bag full of Carling. I thought "Here we go" and our eyes meet, he gives me a nod and walks up the aisle. 2 minutes later, he comes back and sits across the aisle from us.
We had a very candid chat about how the 2 clubs are doing right now.
They are bricking it about next week. He sits in the "snake pit" which I gave him a bi of stick about lol as it sounds naff.
He said they have no idea what team Wagner puts out on match days, it's all so unpredictable as is the system they'll play.
They now accept that they're years behind us and are now where we were under McCarthy and Evans type era - no money, everything on the cheap and free signing/journeyman players with no building for the future.
Doesn't think they'll go down but equally although they hate all the noise around ITFC right now they kinda want themselves to go the same way.
I departed the train and wish him better luck yesterday then next weekend. [Post edited 10 Dec 2023 10:37]

Administration and relegation next season. |
Shouldn't be an administration as yet. They'll get a cash for Sara and Rowe. |  | | |

Trouble is, crowds will fall off which will also hit, merchandise, corporate, sponsorship, and food sales. They are also faced with a huge number of players going out of contract and walking away in the summer. Their debt is huge and growing, 75 million plus at the moment. Sara and Rowe are their only real assets but they are going to want away if the club slips further back and will likely go for a fraction of their value. | | | |

There will be still some solution for them.
Marcus Evans wants to buy a football club and mccarthy wants to come back to the management. | | | |

At the moment it looks very much like the american investor who loaned the club money is playing chicken with the board. he wants the club for nothing and is waiting for them to inch towards admin where he can buy up the debt on the cheap and take full control. | | | |

History would suggest that their crowds will hold up for a good while. They’ll enough income from players to hold thier own for a little while I think. But the best they can hope for, as things stand, is maintenance - very much like us under Evans and Mick.
Anyone know what kind of investment the Yanks are likely to give them? |  |

The American millionaire who said he doesn't have a plan but is just interested in finding out what football (he calls it soccer) is all about? I wonder how much of his million he will invest. | |

He loaned them 10 million when they were third a few years back. At best It looks like he is hanging out for them to become worthless before acting. I think he has got cold feet and is working out how to get some money back. | | | |

It’s pathetic. | | | |
