    sign up Ched Evans

    http://www.chedevans.com/cheds-video-statement His missus is standing by him. Most wouldn't I dare say. Could do a job. Personally, I would sign him on the proviso that he clears his name.

    Career Damage......

    That's true. Didn't we have Robins lined up at the time? Cannot help but think that we would still be in champ were SISU to have not listened to fans Bizarre but true.

    Stretching back a bit, Possibly Clingan? Never understood why we let go Andy Marshall.

    Career Damage......

    Point taken, I offer as evidence Mark Robins whilst here, anyone at Portsmouth over the past 5 years, Peter Reid whilst at Leeds and so on. I think that Your Honour gets the gist so to speak.

    Career Damage......

    A bit of truth in that. At the moment SP should walk and he has a chance of getting a job elsewhere. He has an excuse - no money, uncertainty etc. Di Canio did well under tough circumstances at Swindon and then went to Sumderland, had support and resource and got found out. Thorn got another...

    Goalkeeping situation

    In my own personal opinion (and I know not everyone will agree) the Goalkeeper is THE most important player in the squad. All great teams had or have a great goalkeeper. An average team with a great goalkeeper does so much better than it would otherwise. Oggy for example used to keep us in games...

    Johnson and Nouble to save Pressleys job?

    Back in the day you would have a reserve squad that mirrored the first team (I.e. If you had a target man and a poacher set up then you would have a reserve target man and reserve poacher). You would also have a reserve team that played regularly at some kind of competitive level so that if...

    Kirkland

    It's a catch 22. Give a player a long contract so that we can potentially get a fee (Bell,Barton etc) then we can be stuck paying wages for however long, short contract (Moussa) and they go for nothing.

    Kirkland

    That's true, plus Kirkland at 33 would rather be bench warming I guess. Why would he come here?, it's not as though he has any connection with CCFC.

    Good point, well made.

    Kirkland

    Up here in Sheffield they have a goalkeeper called Kirkland bench warming because they have another Keeper called Westwood. Perhaps Wednesday would allow Kirkland out on loan with a short term recall option (you would) in order that he doesn't get rusty. Or we could keep with whatever have....

    Some Manager Names

    For me McDermott as the tactician with Wise as the motivator / asst mgr. We can but dream. Tbf the wages for Wise would probably be less than Barton (coaches earn less than players I believe).

    Some Manager Names

    These are the Manager odds for the vacant Brum job. Anybody in this lot worth a go / would join us? Gary Rowett 3/1, Owen Coyle 4/1, Brian McDermott 8/1, Chris Hughton 8/1, Tony Mowbray 12/1, Paolo Di Canio 14/1, Billy Davies 16/1, Dougie Freedman 16/1, Mike Phelan 20/1, Aidy Boothroyd...

    Time for SP to go..

    I think Waggot does give good support to be fair and even though SISU are lunatics they cannot be held responsible for the tactics on the pitch.

    Time for SP to go..

    As said before, cannot see any positives nor hope. Outplayed week after week by teams with similar budgets and resources. Football not even entertaining. Sorry SP, it's time to do the decent thing.

    Ched Evans

    35 goals in his last season at this level.

    Ched Evans

    Ched Evans about to released from prison. Big petition up in Sheffield for him to NOT be allowed to re-sign for Sheffield United. Oddly, they had Marlon King on the books recently. Evans maintains his innocence (unlike King) and has put his reasons why (quite eloquently tbf) on his website...

    DJ Campbell anyone?

    To be fair, Huckerby did have D Dublin leading the line so he could run in from deep. I wonder if SP will ever learn basic TACTICS such as that- reading LVG and Mourinio books isn't working.

    We are poor and so is our manager

    He had the excuse of always playing "away" and "not his team" and "uncertainty" and so on. The bottom line is, it's his team now and I just cannot see any real prospect of progress or hope for the future. We held on with Thorn too long on a similar basis and look what happened. Action is best...

    DJ Campbell anyone?

    Good stats at Ipswich too. Came into the pro game late, may have had the ability to play the offside trap properly coached INTO him. (Wouldn't happen here!)
