Ah, but you haven't cited Oldham, Notts County, Swindon, Brighton, Luton. All these were in the top division at one stage.

I agree, with the right management and a good clearout we should be able to turn it around. It's just that I remember this sort of talk when we dropped out of the PL. I can't imagine us dropping any lower though... Oh no, what have I said?

It requires a big change in mentality to go from losing most of our games to winning most of them. I cannot imagine that happening overnight so I think it will take 2 to 4 seasons in League 1 before we will be back in the Championship.

If he were to go there, would it change anybody's opinion of him?

I'm sorry to water your bonfire but won't it take 4 years?

Alan Bennett... Tony Byrne.... Colin Clarke.... Eamonn Collins.... Alan McLoughlin... Stehen O'Halloran... Iain Dowie (does he count?)

We're just killing time until the takeover happens. Can we all agree on what type of new owner would be acceptable to us all ? It might save time later when they ask those in this forum if we are prepared to approve them?

'I did it. It was me.' or, "It was me what done it" is equally valid in some dialects.

Hardly a 'rant', hardly a 'notion', and a bit more than an 'opinion', I would say. Certainly, getting rid of all the goalscorers was foolhardy, to say the least.

More importantly, how is he doing?

And how much did relegation cost? (just asking)

If we're serious about getting out of this league then he's the man, but can we afford him?

You wear it well

If you can walk there without getting your feet wet then I guess it isn't. (and no, you're not allowed to walk through the Channel Tunnel).

If so, and I have no Reason to Believe it isn't, then it will all be plain Sailing but you Keep me Hanging on. Have I told you lately that This old Heart of Mine can't take much more? Maybe Tonight's the Night?

Well done Wade. These days it seems that everybody in the academy is short.

Colden Common I believe.

Do they do concessions?

Can I be leading scorer?

I shall be... I have booked a holiday for the last two weeks in May.

Arthur Daley? I prefer 'this time next year we'll be millionaires!'

£14m is a crazy figure. £6m or £7m is a realistic price with very little prospect of any returns on that for at least the next few seasons.

I can't argue with that. It looks like sloppy journalism then?
