    Another nail in our coffin.

    If they'd spent half that to keep us in the PL there would have been no need for any loans, but they couldn't, they're potless. And we're fecked.

    So BFC will be owned by a Chinese bank in about 12 months?

    I can assure you it won't be the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation

    Our latest loan coincides with reports that Chinese banks are currently plagued with bad loans.

    Pace sure does know how to pick them...

    Come on BT, we have had our share of bad loans from Bank of Chelsea in the last few years.

    Looks like Mee wants out now, I thought the captain was supposed to be the last to leave a sinking ship?

    That is really disappointing.I thought Ben would stay on with a new deal.

    The real captain was sacked towards the end of the season and his first mate on the field was given a role to try to help the temporary management, which he did. However, Ben is just a paid employee of the club and his contract has ended, therefore, he will seek the best deal he can get in order to look after his own family. I would do exactly the same if I was in his boots. Good luck to him.

    Probably wants a new challenge.Needs to make as much as possible at this stage of his career so staying in the PL is logical.Good luck to him.I wont miss his clangers but will miss his no nonsense defending.
