    Worst ever signing?

    We did indeed. He likes to be reminded of his time at Cov too.

    Wasn’t that Chris Camwell?

    Our apparent bid for Bright!

    I wasn’t convinced for a while. He got stupidly sent off vs Burton and I was particularly unimpressed at Accrington when he seemed to over-elaborate and slow down play at every opportunity. Then he scored a lovely goal to win the match and by the time of the Barnsley and Sunderland away games he...

    Worst ever signing?

    It’s not him.

    Worst ever signing?

    All time worst was probably Gary Collier (our record fee paid) or David Bradford. From the prem McA was a disaster; great player but made us less effective as a team. His return as player-manager was worse. Eoin Jess, Simon Howarth, Kevin Richardson and David Rennie all seemed very...

    Lee Burge

    He dropped the ball for their second but 2 of the others were terrible deflections that gave him no chance. If McLoughlin gets a £5m move after the performance that day (he punched Hiwula’s ‘shot’ into the roof of his net) I’d be amazed.

    Lee Burge

    Made some brilliant saves - we should all be eternally grateful for *that* stop at Meadow Lane in the play-off semi-final - but as others have said his confidence took a beating after a series of bad decisions last season. Hope he prospers wherever he ends up but it was right for all sides that...

    1. Bus travel to St Andrew’s? 2. “Kit” “launch” 3 announce that we’ll be playing with outsized subbuteo balls this season

    Please explain.

    Joy Seppala have an interview to Sky in which she claimed - among other things that Wasps were trying to buy the football club. Wasps denied that they were giving financial backing to any bid or consortium but noticeably failed to rule out that they were otherwise involved. Richard Overson...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    Yep but the most likely scenario is Chaplin mark II. We fail to sign our primary target before the start of the season and then the prospect of sorting out a loan drags on for the whole of August. In Chaplin’s case he did join but it was disruptive and the chance of Enobakhare being hijacked by...

    Morrissey

    As did his first three solo albums with tracks titled:- “Bengali in Platforms” (includes the refrain ‘Life is hard enough when you belong here’) “Asian Rut” and “National Front Disco”

    Morrissey

    And David Quantick deserves an official apology
  17. JimmyHillsbeard

    so wasps were involved ?

    Northern Rock; failure of NBNK; Hastings Insurance; Monzo. Hasn’t all been plain sailing

    Transfer Rumour Christian Doidge..kind of

    If ever a player deserves a bit of luck it’s Doige after the disgraceful way he was treated by Bolton last year - they signed him on loan with an agreement to sign permanently in January, only to default on the payment and he was then unable to play for a third club so had to return to Forest...

    Seppala Interview on Sky Sports News

    Ah so generally ridiculed at the time only to be succeeded by a number of individuals who were genuinely more terrible in his role?
