No. He's just keeping his ear to the ground.

I thought he was with Wednesday in League 1. I could be wrong though.

Not so sure we should start picking players for their like-ability factor though. We are already struggling to field an 11 without deciding if we should only pick people we like or not.

I like Wood but he is a bit of an old fashioned centre half and would be quite suited to League 1, which is where we got him from in the first place.

Well I think you make a very valid point. Could well be we get to a stage where we will struggle to put 11 players out on the field.

Well he did, you're right, but the fact is that incident changed the game. From that point on he showed that his authority could be undermined. Never a good thing for a ref.

Well that's where I come from too, Nick.

Why on earth would you think that? You don't even know me. I never ridicule anyone. Just been a whole spate of insider information these past few months. I take everything with a pinch of salt. Neither believe nor disbelieve. Can't for the life of me understand why you would think I would be...

I think that no way on god's earth would we get 4 mill to spend on players. Would be lucky to see £750,000 of that tops for transfers.

Not saying it's not true. Just reckon that if I got a pound for everytime anyone said "on good authority" or "from a very good source" I could have bough the Ricoh outright and bought the club to boot!

Indeed. Not something I have seen anyone else pick up on yet to be honest. Players much more likely to play and be picked when not fully fit because we need the bodies.

It would ease it, albeit temporarily. Wasn't trying to make anyone believe otherwise. £1.5 million will pay off 3 months of losses.

Ahh, that goold old "on good authority." Right up there with, from a "very good source!" :D Did Clingan pass his medical at Leeds does anyone know?

But even with saying that we still have Cranie, Cameron, Keogh. That's 3 plus one of either Wood or McPake. We have too many centre backs and not enough cover in midfield and up front. It really is a no brainer I'm afraid.

7 for the ref? If he had booked Bamba that time instead of letting him rant in his face for well over a minute then he would have continued to earn the respect of the players and maintained order. Never seen such an obvious booking for dissent. And not just dissent, but prolonged, over the top...

if we were to sell him for 2 million then Sisu could take 1.5 million to help ease the financial situation and the 500 grand could be used to bring in a striker. The bottom line is we have SIX centre backs and need the money.

I've got a t-shirt. Am I now in a select club or something?

Think someone pointed out before that Sheff is a late starter every season. Can only assume that he doesn't fulfill his Summer programme and routine and comes back unfit and unready. To me he simply looked off the pace and more worryingly, disinterested.

If true I would snap their hands off. We have 6 centre backs and are losing hundreds of thousands of pounds a week. It's a no brainer.

Would agree with all that, Ashby. Pretty spot-on. Have to say I don't get this 'slating Bell but not McSheffrey' comment at all, Nick. Pretty sure both have been slated fairly and accurately and i thought both were awful on Saturday, albeit for different reasons. The reason I started a thread...
