Then a Nando's. A Burger King, a DFS, a TK MAX and a LIDL. Have I got them all? It's strange isn't it? Our history is actually worse than any fictional scenario you and I can make up about a club we currently despise due to a horror tackle. I'll be honest - I don't think we're cut out to...

Oh no. Cold would be to spend time putting the club on a slow burn. Agitating. Periodically increasing your stake. 'Negotiating' to buy it. And then pulling out at the very last moment.

TB may know the owner of Broadfield Stadium. Or he may know who the creditors are to Crawley Town FC. A long slow simmer would be my preference. After they've suffered enough, what better club to add to his stable?

Someone mentioned they have debt of around £6 million - can anyone confirm?

When he makes his second debut for us, it will be like having a new player, or one that's only played 6 minutes for us. (There's no harm in stating the obvious occasionally).

That's got to be good news. Round of applause to all those who said 3 months.

The club statement is of the 'we don't know when he will be back' variety. Probably too many variables to be precise on timescale. Surgery, healing, rehabilitation, training may all go well or otherwise.

As far as I am aware, senior figures at the club have been very quiet on it all - the tackle, the referee's decision making, the response of Williams and the damage limitation exercise by Crawley Town Football Club. In nearly 60 years of watching football, I've seen some late tackles, but I've...

That picture is the key. The wink and smile suggest, at the very least, no remorse, no contrition, no concern for our player. There is also a danger that people will be drawn into the damage limitation exercise that is in full swing at Crawley: 'Lack of skill doesn't excuse manhandling like...

Yes, all good points. I broke mine, it was pinned, the pin taken out around a year later, and it was - kind of - ok afterwards, without the flexibility I once had. Also, no doubt a huge difference between the NHS back then, and 'money no object' in elite pro football today. Also, I can remember...

Is this a good time to divulge that I suffered a broken ankle in my late 20s? I only played football at a low level in the Sussex Sunday League. I did play again, after surgery, a long while later. But my ankle was never the same again. I have no idea, other than the official statements, of...

Just to be clear about the severity of the tackle, O'Riley needs surgery, and the club - don't know when - he will be back. Edit: after being on the field for 6 minutes.

'Genuinely upset' or 'genuinely upset for the stick he's getting'? https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/football/brighton-and-hove-albion/genuinely-upset-crawley-town-boss-reveals-jay-williams-gesture-after-horror-tackle-on-brightons-new-ps25million-signing-4761569 Personally, I don't...
