et tu brute

Didn’t they get 45 against Bradford 3 year ago on Boxing Day

Think he was taking the piss.

Automatic looks a lost cause and I didn’t think they would go up that way for a while now. However, I thought they were a cert for the play off and that is now seriously looking that they may struggle to get up that way either. Sheff Wed coming up fast on the rails also. The 5 in a row is on glorious

How is that not handball

Isn't the fellow from Saudi Golf, heavily tipped to be being made a Director in the near future?

Need him in from the start as that current midfield is pretty wank. We have 2 winnabe games coming up at home and we can't afford to be fucking around trying to bed a new player in.

Well as I mentioned yesterday, he’s a guest at the match on Tuesday. I’m sure both QCs the club used are still on board with the new owners

I honestly can see the sponsorship deals ending up in the competition courts in the future. The owners have already put the shot across the bows and I cannot see them accepting interference from other clubs as it’s anti-competitive and a restraint of trade. Going to interesting to see what sponsorships are announced

See De Marco is coming up for the game next week, wonder if he's now working on something also for the owners?

That will have then spitting venom as they don't like Mr Hope

Keane, well that is a total clusterfuck of an appointment if ever I saw one. Not a good policy running the club on the whim of the support. Long may it continue

Yeah he needs replacing in the Summer. Can’t keep relying on a player who is guaranteed to miss at least a third of any season. Shame as he’s probably a 15+ striker if he was playing the full season.

Yeah true, only thing is that if he isn’t played, their fans will be foaming at the mouth. The owners have shown that they are inclined to bow to fan demand in the past. Looks like Grant McCann is in talks, which is basically just another Johnson. Going to be interesting how it goes.

Big gamble with Defoe at 39 and hardly played any football in the last 2 years. Could go either way, but probably worth the gamble seeing as he is only signed on to the end of the season.

I wonder if he will now join up to RTG?

It's not twisting though, it's highlighting an area of genuine concern - I personally think there is more twisting from people who don't like to see it when people are not agreeing that there are genuine concerns. We needed a genuine goalscorer before any news on Wood. It could come back to bite us on the arse come the end of the season.

Argee with this mainly, though I have put a 5 as I'm not convinced by the signings of Burn and Targett and I presonally think Wood is a shocker of a signing. I think the lack of goals is a massive issue going forward. I'm far from convinced that this team will be enough to stay up. Personally think there has been too much time spent chasing targets who were either unavailable or just didn't want to come. I had high hopes last night and this morning, which in my opinion has become a bit of a damp quib in the end today, with a final 'scattergun' attempt looking very much like it will not pay dividends either. We will see though, as usual the barometer of different opinions (expected tbf) is in full display .

Especially when it's last minute and just because we couldn't get other players in

Chelsea isn’t it that’s what’s being reported

Sounds more to me just Downie trying to influence the owners

By the way way I hoped you enjoyed your little rant above earlier, must of set you up nicely for the rest of the day

I certainly don’t

Think that’s a canny understatement to say the least

No red flags. There could be a deal being set up they don’t want to give other clubs notice of. Also there also could be movement from other clubs which means someone becomes available

No red flags George
