The assumption that a fan of the club is better served to have a say in the running of it is a strange one, along the lines of 'passion' being some kind of substitute for intelligence in a player.

Seen, get me?

Ah yes, Ranson the retconned hero of the hour. The football man who hand-picked Aidy Boothroyd! Without business acumen, there's no club. A board full of 'football' people is all well and good if you're in a position to make decisions purely on that basis, but we're at least £40m short of that...

His nationality and working knowledge of the sport are irrelevant. He's not picking the team or scouting players, he's on the business side of the coin.

We've been skint for several years and signed players each summer.

But nothing has happened to suggest we'll be shipping every senior player out either.

Last season we saw Nathan Cameron and Jordan Clarke acquit themselves well and they now look relatively comfortable in the first-team squad, and Conor Thomas did enough for Liverpool to come sniffing. Surely if he's talking up the young players that Gregor Rioch has been working with and also...

If we're not guaranteed at least sixth by November, sit-in protest time!

I'm sure I've read that his injury record is more bad luck than being particularly injury-prone, but I could be wrong. I know one long absence was due to a severe illness.

Complaining about a lack of signings in June is like wondering why the playoffs aren't sewn up by October.

Four minutes for my prediction to come true? PM me for Wednesday's lotto numbers.

They were saying that players were to return from holiday, so Ireland should be announced soon to wrap up the outstanding youth offers, unless I'm forgetting someone.

Just up on the official site I think, unless it's been posted and I'm mildly blind.

Two players we expected to leave have left. The Telegraph are reporting months-old stories of financial woe and dressing them up as new revelations to get hits and sell papers during the off-season lull. I don't see why people are panicking. The only thing that came close to being a surprise at...

Have we secretly sold off a load of players and it hasn't been reported?

I'd pick it up if available just for the sheer nostalgia (literally rose-tinted in this case) but I can't see it being a success.

And if he's purposely pricing potential new clubs out of a move for him, how is that the best of both worlds?

We don't agree. You're making out as if his actions have somehow hurt the club while advocating an alternative that makes no sense whatsoever. He hasn't been disloyal, he's completed a three-year contract he signed upon joining the club and is now exercising his right to play elsewhere. He's...

But if he's planning to leave, why would he do something that would not only limit the number of teams interested in him but also con a few extra million out of them that could be otherwise used to improve his new club? It makes absolutely no sense.

You say that as if keeping the club afloat is a bad thing. If we can do a lot better, where is this better alternative? All we have is some guy who quit the board, made noise about a takeover (we've had that before, Hi Mr Dhinsa!) and had lunch with some Asians.
