That's not really how it would work. The debts are already with SISU, administration would be them needlessly throwing their own money down the drain. Unless they're faced with no other option this is highly unlikely to happen.

So after being overlooked for the job, Dublin tells us he would have done things great? Much like after Ranson has gone he tells us he would have had Liverpool's £55m young English signings signed up? Forgive me if I'm sceptical, but we seem to believe the things we want to hear. The Telegraph...

SISU are the debt, essentially. Administration would be highly bizarre.

It'll come out that Joe Elliott wasn't removed from his position, but John Stape actually has him held prisoner in his loft. Fiz will be mad as hell.

Your plan is to remove more income from the club, thereby contributing to the growing debts and reducing the chances of an acceptable bid being agreed as the gap widens? Plan B should be a fart in a glass.

The Prozone thing wasn't really a lie. We were told that SISU put money in to keep the club running, which is basically what happened. We weren't told they dug into their piggy bank or they found it down the back of the sofa.

The good thing is that Cameron went with it in the end and just signed. End of the fuss, get on with the football. Good lad.

Me, the son of a deposed Nigerian prince. All I need are your account details and you can have a billion pesos for stashing my riches.

I suspect it's a stance which would rightly be relaxed somewhat if the player were not a younger man already at the club. You really have no choice but to kowtow to agents to some degree in order to bring players in, which is sadly how the game is.

I'm not saying it has to be one or the other, as I'm not criticising a financially-successful entrepreneur on the board for not having intricate knowledge of catenaccio or Gigg Lane. Losing Conor Thomas wouldn't have been a football decision, it'd be a 'we need cash from somewhere' decision...

The same could be said for everybody running every club, unless there are some saboteurs running amok. Having a 'Coventry kid' could and should be great, but emotion can cloud judgement too. If it was up to me Marcus Hall would be chairman, and his first act would be to give himself the number...

I don't think Hughton was Newcastle manager by the time the first window came about where they could nab King, could be wrong. Cardiff were being linked with a loan move, are you thinking of them?

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!
