He barely touched the ball yesterday. We know we have limited funds, so why waste them on a player that will spend the season on the fringes when we need first team players? Remember when Pressley signed anyone who had two legs? We don't want a return to that!

There were a few half-hearted challenges. I guess it is only a preseason friendly though. No point getting stuck in and risking injury at this point in time.

He was meant to be the messiah, but it turned out he was just a very naughty boy.

I was a PES fanboy until Fifa 09, owning every game from ISS Pro onwards. Then PES went shoddy for a few years, whereas Fifa took massive strides forward, not least with the pro clubs mode. I want to like PES again, I really do. But truth is, I want to play with real players in real kits in real...

Oh Lordy, what if it turns out to be Reece Brown? Even Steve Walsh was better than him!

"Mrs Mowbray will love this move, the sexy little minx."

Creosote and petrol. Yummy. Also partial to fresh laundry, fresh coffee and, on occasion, the smell of fresh mint. Basically, if it's fresh I'm digging it.

Won a penno against Leeds on his debut after a 40 yard mazy run iirc. Thought he was going to be amazing, but truth was he wasn't Alexi Lalas, and that's who we all wanted at the time. Still remember the back page of a newspaper (The Express, maybe) that claimed we'd offered to let Lalas' band...

I'd go for Shearer. Germany have recently gone for just-retired ex-Internationals; Klinsmann and Voller spring to mind. They have the status to do it, with old heads in the backroom team. Can't be any worse than Woy and McLaren surely?

Perhaps it's us who have more ambition? Moussa was good but not great. Went missing too often imho.

2 experienced pros who know the club and can fill in at a pinch. Assuming their wages are low, what's not to like?

He was on a fortune here. An informed source told me 3k per week basic, which for a player who did very little for years is an extravagence we couldn't afford.

Leigh Jenkinson 2m. 1.5m of that for the stepover alone.

Maybe the 'situation in the press' led to the players questioning whether to sign rather than there being any real truth in it..?

He may well be homesick, but if no clubs nearby want him or are willing to pay what he thinks he's worth, then it doesn't leave him much choice I guess.

I think it's a bit harsh on him tbf. For him it is exciting news - if I had a book published I'd be shouting from the rooftops. And the #PUSB is because it's about the Sky Blues. It's not his fault we wished it was something positive about the club for once.

There's a year left before SISU leave imho (if that is the route they go down). A year of the academy left. A year of Mowbray left. A year of the Ricoh left. I genuinely believe it's every last penny on red or black - promotion and they stay, non-promotion and it's the end of days, whatever that...

You know, for the first time in this whole debacle I'm on the verge of just shrugging my shoulders. Politics aside for a moment, modern football is shit. It's over-saturated; on TV every day, on every other website and all over the newspapers - front and back page. Yet the everyday fan is being...

It probably did, but they got their 5 minutes of fame. Probably inspired by that fella who faked the England squad the other week.

Yep, that was it. Couldn't remember his name. Total memory fail! Byrne played for Sunderland. Christ, I wasn't even on the pop yesterday and I got everything wrong!
