Why? That's how you get seriously injured. All we need to do is fulfil our fixtures.

It's not our lowest point, since 1.Chansiri is gone 2. It appears we are still very much a going concern, with multiple prospective buyer 3. There is actually hope for the future I wouldn't spend a second worrying about anything that happens on the pitch this season.

It entirely depends on what our resources are after the takeover. But I would want to start with a completely new broom if possible. Pederson is the old regime.

He must be cold, bless him.

Looks fantastic. Right at the heart of the local community.

Is Birmingham a tourist destination? Just a lot of brutalist concrete and race war and no one picking up the bins, isn't it? I think I've been there once, to go to St Andrews, in 2000-ish. Pablo Bonvin scored a wonder goal.

The DNA that gets sprayed onto my DHGate Wednesday strip and only shows up under an ultraviolet light is nobody's business but my own.

Correct. The EFL are concerned about making sure we can fulfil our fixtures for the rest of the season. They aren't trying to do us any favours.

Christ. Everyone sitting in dead silence, ignoring their mates and family. Don't worry, they will add in fake crowd noise, too.

Forget all that. How's Atillio Lombardo getting on with his medical?

Someone else whose name I would be happy never to hear again unless it is followed with 'found dead of auto erotic asphyxiation in his hotel room'.

Everyone knows Trump is open to be bribed. This will be one of the cheaper things he has been bought with though...

It's very achievable. Plenty of those 40 year olds have kids they could bring with them. If they enjoy themselves, and the price is right, they will come back and bring their mates. Cheap tickets for kids + a positive experience in the stadium = lots of young folk.

Chansiri's debts to 'Sheffield 3' will be settled absolutely last if there is any money left from the sale once everything else has been dealt with. It's not necessarily an obstacle to a sale.

I'm definitely not trying to talk down Hearts. Just pointing out they have all the strengths that Rangers currently lack. I would love Hearts to win the league. It would be a massive rocket up the SPL and incidentally ******** off all the Celtic supporting Mean Dads at the kids' Catholic school.

It's hard to know what 'success' looks like this year. They won't win the league no matter how well Röhl does. They won't finish above Celtic OR Hearts, who unlike Rangers are a competent set of players with a strong spine, playing a system that suits them. Their fans probably won't accept third place even from where they are now.

They will still need to be satisfied in order for S3 to exit administration, otherwise S3 will be liquidated and they could well take the stadium.

The priority goes: 1. Secured creditors 2. Administrator fees 3. Outstanding payroll 4.HMRC 5.Unsecured creditors 6.Shareholders

Most clubs have horrible debts to the previous owner when they are taken on. Football financing is fundamentally broken. It's baked into the price and no one is going to have got this far without taking it into account.

I just don't think he's that good a player. There isn't another level of Ugbo somewhere on there that he is failing to live up to. He just had a purple patch in a much better SWFC squad last year.

The players understand the situation as well as the fans do. Probably better.

A 0-0 draw is a genuine achievement for this squad. 'Plan A' is working.

There's no point comparing us to massive Premiership tourist traps/sportswashing sinks. Nothing like that is even remotely likely to happen unless SWFC are an established global brand competing in the Premiership and attracting visitors from around the world. At the moment we are a League 1 club in waiting, and are lucky to still have the chance to continue existing as a going concern. There are definitely things that need to happen to Hillsborough - making it safe and preventing further deterioration for starters, improving the toilets, catering and giving it a good lick of paint for seconds. Maybe getting the closed off parts open again. All that other stuff can come later, assuming the club is successful enough to merit it. There is going to need to be serious investment in every aspect of the club from the playing staff, backroom, the commercial side, the training facilities and academy, and countless other things to make us a competitive CHAMPIONSHIP side again, never mind anything more aspirational than that. Lets walk before we can run, shall we?

Glasgow is incredibly similar to Sheffield in terms of it's history and social makeup. You even get some of the same people turning up like John Brown. They've even got a massive national park on their doorstep like Sheffield. There are plenty of posh bits with massive villa houses, particularly in the West End around the Kelvin and up the Great Western Road. Mind you, their local side would be Partick Thistle. Having said all that, last time I was there we were watching a string quartet in the Merchant's House and a fight broke out in the very middle class audience, which sort of undermines my argument. ,

At least they will know it's coming. I would hate for all those mug and tie sets all my relatives are getting for Christmas to be in vain.
