Why does Sheaf need to attack as well? We are scoring plenty of goals from midfield and someone needs to do the dirty work. He’s a fantastic Championship DM who’s hopefully emerging from a rare dip in form.

Fair play for getting that user name

I’m surprised that for such a common, standard procedure you can’t think of a single other football club that’s had this problem. But if you’re jonesing for a charity bet, how about £200 that at least two other Chanpionship clubs will go under a transfer embargo for the same HRMC issue by the...

So you can’t name any other clubs who’ve had this very standard, common financial problem then?

So off the top of your head which other clubs in our division recently went into a transfer embargo because of failures to pay HMRC?

For the same reasons the NEC wanted to?

You literally said our transfer embargo and HRMC issues are “a pretty standard thing”. Fine if you actually believe that, but it’s right out of the Shugs playbook. You can dry your eyes, people will stop liking my posts taking the piss out of you soon.

Oh cry more - I never said it was standard. It’s the fact you seem to think everything’s fine and dandy and normal with our finances right now which makes you so Shugsy.

Ah yes, the good old telltale 10° spin…..

“So why did you leave your last job?” “Well……….can we talk a bit more about my diversity strategy?”

I’m not sure that’s how it works…. If it is, hope you’re ready for a couple more seasons in League One!

Takeovers of this size take a lot of time. If negotiations are at a standing start then I can’t imagine they’ll get done in 50 days. I wouldn’t expect to buy a house in that timeframe, let alone a football club. The due diligence alone could be a nightmare.

Are we still talking about Mike Ashley?

So in other words, it was the stadium that Ashley was throwing most of the money at?

If Gilbert’s timeline is accurate and the arena deal won’t be completed for weeks then I’d say there’s almost zero chance of that.

Derby were up for sale - are we?

As I said yesterday - just because we as City fans think it’s obvious that buying the stadium and then immediately buying the club is an elegant, popular and lucrative solution doesn’t mean that any outside investors automatically see it that way.

A few hours ago you were both saying it was inconceivable that Ashley wouldn’t want a piece of the CCFC goldmine!
