Isn’t it just brinkmanship? They’ve got 2 months to change their mind and will be readily forgiven by most if they do. Whereas all the upheaval is on our end. And if we are forced out they get the Coventry hornets in with the backing of Hoffman’s little pot of gold, the CT and their PR machine...

The club doesn’t need to be up for sale for someone to put a worthy offer in. And as for the total lack of regard for this club, community and fans well, the council has done all those things tenfold and irreversibly.

All these years later and with plenty of evidence to the contrary and still people are regurgitating the council's PR for them. Not only have they fucked the club over they've had a bloody good go at permanently dividing the fanbase too.

Cheaper than an out of town Rugby franchise in a closed sale should have been given it for, yes.

Me too, I’ve worn my lucky pants to work but my boss sent me home. Should have worn something else too I suppose.

If it was good enough for Lee Dixon...

I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fankaty Dabo?

I was fuming, didn't even get to collect the DNA from their spit because they mimed everything and that was the only reason I paid that much.

The Sunderland chairman discussed it on a podcast only a few days after. He was surprisingly honest about how badly he got shafted! In his own words

We might be able to get Birmingham to chip in after his couple of seasons there and put it up at St Andrews ready for our games there. That or go for a big unveiling ceremony up the Ricoh and when the curtains are drawn back there'll be no statue there and the horrified crowd will all gasp...

I understand the background and it's for exactly that reason it shocks me still - it was such a bad deal. They only got 1.5 mill up front for Maja who was on less than £1,000 a week. They ended up paying 3 million rising to 4, which is massive in this division, plus whatever they are paying him...

That transfer fee still shocks me. He's scored 20ish goals a season almost every time he's played at this level over the last 7 years but has struggled in the Champ with Wigan. That's a hell of a lot of money to pay for goals at this level without much guarantee that it will transfer over into...

Fair play to Boddy for parking his lorry on the roundabout though.

Warnock did have 8 seasons in the Premier League after he played for us and got capped twice by England, he's no Blair Adams!

I always assumed that meant initial sell on, an England cap, 10 goals for England, 100 appearances for England etc. It's extremely unusual for a sell on clause to be in place beyond the buying club (Norwich) selling him on isn't it?

Travelling up to Prague to see the Smashing Pumpkins on Thursday, will report back on the differences!

Well yes of course I'm certainly sympathetic to any individual who had an unpleasant experience on the back of splashing a load of cash to go to a concert like that. I have 3 main feelings about it: Disappointed for anyone who has had a shit night out when it was supposed to be a fun evening...

Well I can only speak for myself but I am getting a disproportionate amount of satisfaction from seeing Wasps screw up another of their revenue streams.

Moral of the story is you can't judge a budget or squad until the transfer window closes.

Not sure it's gonna be a hit after my i-Poons app hits the stores.
