Brighton, Burnley and Fulham

Well done. One of the Scottish ones is tricky as was way back, the other less so.

Hull must be one.

I think Ipswich might be there too. They must have got a top 3 to qualify for their UEFA cup win.

Hull is correct - 2014 FA Cup finalists.

Ipswich - no. 78 Cup final and five top 3 places.

3 English and 2 Scottish left to guess.

Is it one of each, either or?  I have to say the question lacks clarity.

 

I think it's fairly clear  - have only done one of the following once since 1965. Therefore it can't be Derby as they have finished in the top 3 three times since then.

So far correct:

Wimbledon - 1988 FA Cup finalists

Millwall - 2004 FA Cup finalists

Coventry - 1987 FA Cup finalists

Middlesbrough - 1997 FA Cup finalists

Cardiff  -2008 FA Cup finalists

Wigan - 2013 FA Cup finalists

Stoke - 2011 FA Cup finalists

Norwich - 1993 - Finished 3rd top flight

Gretna - 2006 Scottish FA Cup finalists

Queen of the South - 2008 Scottish FA Cup finalists

Ross County - 2010 Scottish FA Cup finalists

Livingstone - 2002 Finished 3rd Scottish Premier League

4 more English and 2 more Scottish required. Hope this makes things clearer now.

We do know his funds haven't gone through. So he may not be fiddling while Rome burns, but he could sound less blasé about the problems.

Unfortunately I hate to think how much abuse he will have received via Twitter today despite no-one actually knowing the facts yet.

Can you name the 12 English and 6 Scottish clubs that have only done one of the following once since 1965?

Finished in the top 3 of their respective top division or been in their domestic FA Cup final.

Nice and easy this one, Lee Mills. I was disappointed when we sold him as i thought he looked decent. 

My daughter who was about 8 at the time loved him. She even made a Lee Mills fridge magnet for me!

This is a good point. Who would deal with CK again if this goes belly-up?

Can you paraphrase and post a link?  Won't be allowed to post the full article. 

This is the key bit alongside what was posted above:

"The businessman sent over a massive sum last week, including the first chunk of money to the club’s creditors, and this was delayed by checks in the financial police world.

Two different methods were used and the cash was due to be in an escrow account late last night.

However as of this morning Kirchner is waiting on the cash being cleared but still insists he is on course to be the owner."

I read that CK as got Argentinian roots, do you think the ownership of the Falkland Islands/ Malvinas, is an issue?????

No relation of Esteban Fuertes I hope. That didn't end well
