Getting more and more likely as time goes by

The Club, top to bottom, is an absolute laughing stock

Getting more and more likely as time goes by

Especially if games keep getting called off because of Covid positive results.

So given the undertones im guessing we may also see Oxley pick up and injury too due to a tight hasntbeenpaiditus of the hamstring. We are lucky to have McCormack as i understand he is able to draw down his pension now so doesnt need to be paid by the club

I think that was meant more towards Akinola who clearly isn’t registered yet.

Just my thoughts mate. I just feel that as soon as we can register Akinola, he’ll be fit enough for the bench at least.

I would be more likely to believe it if it didn’t make a liar out of MM- he didn’t try and avoid the question or fudge it, he straight out said he wasn’t yet fit enough and not due to the registration issues.
