Hmmm

Rich Sharpe on Twitter: "@_Aaron_Holt_01 still nearly three weeks of the window, but get the impression that if any Pickering deal would have happened, it would have had to before the clause in Douglas' loan deal passed." / Twitter

It's the 4 year deal that stinks. And the dad. We now can't afford Pickering. Meanwhile the keeper we sold to MK Dons is apparently doing very well.

Everton anti-hero Glenn Keeley: I never even wanted to play in THAT match - Liverpool Echo

Artell: "We Don't Plan To Sell Anyone In The Window" - News - Crewe Alexandra Crewe don't need the cash.

Sparks can find better full-backs at Pleasy. Probably.

Was that the same cup run that ended with PNE? Ken Wright's name will always be synonymous with that era.

4th Round Draw. Did Chorley play Wolves before or am I imagining it? Cheltenham Town v Manchester City Bournemouth v Crawley Town Swansea City v Nottingham Forest Manchester United v Liverpool Southampton or Shrewsbury Town v Arsenal Barnsley v Norwich City Chorley v Wolverhampton Wanderers Millwall v Bristol City Brighton & Hove Albion v Blackpool Wycombe Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur Fulham v Burnley Sheffield United v Plymouth Argyle Chelsea v Luton Town Stockport County or West Ham United v Doncaster Rovers Brentford v Leicester City Everton v Sheffield Wednesday

The recall option expired two hours after he signed on the insistence of Leeds.

Scottish gentleman - purveyor of tittle-tattle.

Good point.

I hope you're right, just seems very poor business from their point of view to give him a new contract to protect their asset then flog him for £2.5m less than they would have got 6 months ago.

so near

That would suggest it's complete bollox then.

Cheers. Going to be moving Manchester soon to work so wondering if any of the smaller towns in GM are commutable and nice places to live?

How long does it take?

Why 'wonders'? I just want a few more wins and fewer excuses. A better manager recruited now would have time to assess the squad. There's no logic in keeping someone who you want to get rid of in the summer because he isn't good enough.

When you say close links do you mean he lives in Deepdale? There's more chance of your bookie going bust than there is of Neil coming here in the next few weeks.

Rovers boss on leaving out Adam Armstrong for FA Cup tie | Lancashire Telegraph “If we weren’t creating any chances then you could sit here and say ‘how are you going to win any football matches?’ But we’re creating over 20 a game" - Mogga 20 chances a game. Blimey, we are good!

So bad it's funny!

Dion Dublin annoying the shit out of anyone else?

Where's kamy's post?

It'll be 7 or 8 pts if Boro/Watford win their game in hand. Still not much but we're going to have to average about 2 points per game until the end of the season to get in the PO's. Not happening under Mowbray I'd wager.

He's obviously better than those you mention, and I don't disregard the good things he's achieved, but he isn't really the answer. I think we can all agree it'll be a miracle if he gets us in the Play Offs let alone the Prem. I still have hope they'll appoint someone with genuine ability like they very nearly did with Warnock. I don't care if they are nice. I just want them to be very good at their job. I admit it's probably a forlorn hope.

That's just his look. Hardly inspiring.
