I just can't make it not matter. And I have tried.

Fox ended up being a pretty solid performer for us, I thought.

Yep. I never bought it at the time, and I still don't know. The optics were bad, but that was all.

Stop f***ing moaning!

And just to add to this, bearing in mind that he'd scored 13 goals in 27 appearances that season, accepting a 75% cut to his wage would only be all the more harder to stomach.

“I'm finally making it to Sheffield after being on the waiting list for more than a year” I hear that a lot.

One of the dullest goals I've ever seen.

I've long said stadiums should have 12 chimneys.

Can see Hamer being fit, and to start too, but not Arblaster given how long he's been out—has he even played for their U21s yet? Probably Wilder just thinking he's doing a Fergie, but neglecting to note that this a middling Championship player, and not some world-beater that might actually seriously affect how we'd set up. Bamford probably be on the bench.

If Cooper's deemed to be match-fit (big if), then he surely has to be straight in there.

I'll have this. I want a couple of harshly disallowed goals thrown in there for them too though. One of them late on that sees Wilder run to their fans to celebrate.

I do Ladyboys all not long.

Haha, yes! That's what I meant! To be fair, I don't drink either anyway.

I'll tell you what though, if Heineken did Sheffield derbies, the one in which we not only win but that he gets sacked in the aftermath would have to be the absolute greatest of all. Mind you, struggling as he is, perhaps we ought to hope he keeps his job.

As much as I like listening to Pedersen talk about us, I hate listening to Wilder so much that I knew I'd have to give it a miss.

I've no problem considering Liam Palmer a club legend. I felt the same about Lee Bullen before him, even though many scoff at that too. For some though, I can only think that they take ‘club legend’ to mean ‘best’.

I can definitely see him breaking the record—but only for Bannan to then break that.

I personally think it's the opposite. I want the new owners to know precisely what they're buying and what it'll take to get us going in the right direction. Beyond this, the positives will be obvious, and would be the ultimate reason they'd be buying us in the first place.

He can't even fit in the picture.

F***ing scum.

That's actually quite reassuring. It might have been good if this was made very clear in the official site's message about this yesterday. To my mind, it would be more reassuring to know precisely that this is exactly how they plan to police it, than what was actually written there, which, to be honest, only gives a sense that if there are any incidents that they might be caught afterwards. I'd certainly much rather know what is being done that will likely prevent it from happening in the first place, if I was planning on putting my family in there.

Does anyone know whether the front few rows of the upper tier will at least be cordoned off?

Were the Leicester fans as celebratory and joyous as ours during the administration process itself though? They had a good ultimate outcome, but was that expectation apparent at the time?

It's hard to imagine a manager of any repute not potentially considering joining a club in the Championship as a stepping stone though. They come in, they do a good job, they get a job at a higher level—that surely has to be a reasonable part of their thinking? Having a manager that comes in and thinks this is as good as it gets would be terrible. Had Chansiri been in a position to match Röhl's talent and ability with the right support structure and finances to really build the club such that we could realistically challenge for promotion to the Prem, then even if Röhl does have ambitions to manage at the biggest and greatest clubs in football, we may well have found that even as a stepping stone, he could've been with us still for a couple of seasons yet.

Yeah, I think it's the most glaring short fall in the current first 11, and if I had just one game for which I could make an addition, I think I'd probably pick a forward. With it being a number of games that we're needing to cover for though, I'd be a bit surprised to see us bring in a forward. Still, even if it's all just rumours, that we've been linked with two wingers in Watmore and now Redmond, it does suggest that's a position we're definitely looking at.
