Corry coming back on the coaching side? Wouldn't be at all averse to that.

They walked past me when I was outside the away end just after 7pm
He’s just signed for Oldham. As they were walking past Speakman asked him “how’s the body” , Corry did a “meh”
kind of face. Then they walked on

Must be a whiff of promotion around the place if Sartori is back

Don't understimate the appeal of a full day out in Burnley with the lads on exes when you've been stuck in Montevideo or Monaco for months

How often, if ever, does Dreyfuss attend games these days, has the novelty worn off?
Why do you think he got a sponsorship deal with Nord VPN?
johnny kayo

He was definitely at burnley away

How many home games have either been to this year? Not having pop but would be interested to know. Anyone?

Fairly sure KLD has been to quite a lot, probably the majority.
Sartori - I’d be surprised if he’s been to more than a couple.

So If we ever qualify for Europe, & Monaco qualify for Europe, would we find ourselves in the same scenario as C Palace?

No. Sartori can simply place shares in a 'blind trust' like every other club does.
Although im not even sure that would be necessary as does Sartori even oen any shares in Monaco, or is it more his wife?
