lovely little interview with Sir Bobby there and Rob Lee talking a great deal of sense to old hairy hands. Come on lets do em big style lads.

thought it was a decent article myself.

Yes and no for me. The dark days of the late 70s and early80s seem an awfully long time ago. The game of Football has been replaced by the business of Football in many ways. Of course even back then there where the haves and have nots, richer and poorer clubs, but the introduction of the Champions League, dissolution of the UEFA cup and the huge amounts of money needed to truly compete make these dark days at our club very very worrying for me. Football is changed in so many ways and not all for the better imo. (from a fans perspective) Relegation to the lower divisions, if you dont bounce straight back, seems a changed experience. The championship must have at least 8/9? clubs who have been in the Circus of the Prem at one time. Competiton is fierce and I would seriously worry for us mid to longish term if we did go down....I dont think we will mind. The reality of it ,for me,is that we do have a poor/thin squad, in terms of challenging for the top 8/9/10 spots and we have shot ourselves in the foot...again, but compared to some of the other sides in the division,IF we can get 11 motivated palyers on the pitch, organised by a half competent management team, we should have enough to pull away from the bottom 3. We need to start pretty quickly imo mind.. but in all honesty relegation shouldnt be on the cards with what we have at our disposal.And if a quick sale, to sensible, well finaced new owners can be sorted out then who knows. Come January maybe we will have the backing to replace/strenghthen our squad and push on..providing the new owners also get the right manager in of course! And for me thats almost always been our major problem, selecting the right man for the top job.IMO our boards/owners have got the most important appointment wrong more times than theyve got it right,

how long would a sale or takeover actually take? The Man City one seemed pretty sharpish 24-48 hrs? (mind you, suppose a lot of the work could have already been done in the background prior.)

disappointing that its all ended like this. Promising start, never liked the replica shirt wearing/standing in the terraces myself, but things seemed to go pear shaped once Mort left and the Wise thing was never gonna hold water. God help us we need a relativley speedy resolution to this and hope for some stability for a significant period. Personally, that may not neccessarily have KK coming back either (god forbid not Shearer), a clean professional break may be best.

cant beleive the bit about his family not being safe, surely there was/is never a chance anyone would think of carrying out physical abuse against him or his child. Dont think any arrests were made yesterday in relation to the protests?

Good. Lets hope a period of stability for years will follow all this.

Ashleys a cock...its official.
