I've said somewhere that dropping down a division would be curtains for the club, but for some sick and twisted reason the accountant in me still sees it as a way of the club surviving folding. As for there being no business model that could accomodate such a drop - this is coming from a man who spends what 75% of the teams income on freakin wages!! I'm not having a go at the executives, but they clearly need someone with a logical head running the money matters, that's not a sustainable business model in itself

For the future of the club being relegated might actually be the best idea - in terms of jumping into the fire that's making us hot. We're seriously overpaying the players and going down would force us to sort out the business side of the club - of course I couldn't see us making it back to the Prem running the club like a business, simply not enough funds coming in

You planning on playing 5 in midfield If we stay up we should invest in a flying left winger, Thompson's rehabilitation and a quality centre half.

I know, sorry what was meant to come across was that those two mentioned managers have man management skills and apparent transfer skills that Souness does not

Arrogance is only one of the needed qualities

Well thank you. Proves my point exactly. You never see a solitary goose do you? Soft little chavs, always have to hang around in gangs 'cos they're too soft to go out alone. Swans. Hard enough to hang about by themselves And no one has ever had their arm broken by a bloomin' goose. I rest my case. It was getting really heavy. So you're discriminating against geese because they have friends?! What kind of animal are you You never hear of geese breaking people's arms because they're smart like that - they don't need the bad rep. Swans swan around knowing they've got the Queen and all her armies backing them up , they're royalty and can do as they damn well please!

Hats off to you spark! I think an extra word is required between Johnny and Stead, or before the Johnny. There's definitely work needing done, but the tune is great, and the last line is about right. How about - He scores when we're playing at home, He always scores with his head, He scored another goal about an hour ago, And there's only one Jon Stead! Version 3: Show us the way to score goals, Score them with your feet and with your head. We know you're gonna score another couple of goals, Cos your name is Jonny Stead! version 4: He shows us the way to score goals, Scores with his feet and his head, He scored a little goal about an hour ago, and his name is Jonny Stead! We should get people singing that in the Blackburn end

The question is though...do you have the guts to get up in the middle of the Blackburn End and sing that one? Can't see the lines "I've never seen so many fans ask you if you wanted to dance Looking for a little romance" going down too well...football fans aren't that well known for getting in touch with their feminine side! Well, apart from Elton John obviously. I'll do it, just get me a ticket in the Blackburn End.....I'll even trade you a ticket in the Jack Walker Stand

Back to the original topic - Big Ron had it right when he stated it's all psychological. Geese are mental, Swans are not. Ok sure Swans have the physical potential to be the dominant birds in this fighting class, but when it comes down to it, it's all about the will to win. Geese want to win - not just for the glory, but because it makes them feel hard. That makes this a non-contest in my opinion - unless the Swan has gone intensive psychological training to get a bit mental itself, then it's a close run thing.

Fair do's to him though, he jokingly linked that to Leeds' great decision to fire him As for Leeds - I'm not up to date on the whole situation, but can anybody explain why they keep getting deferrals for a week or two at a time? Shouldn't they be paying the piper by now?!

Ooooooh ooh Steadinho, oooooh ooooh Steadinho, he's off to save the club, super super sub, Steadihno, oooooh oooh Steadinho, oooooh oooh Steadinho Still my favourite

I'll just throw this one out there, don't crucify me: Ooooooh ooh Steadinho, oooooh ooooh Steadinho, he's off to save the club, super super sub, Steadihno, oooooh oooh Steadinho, oooooh oooh Steadinho Obviously the super sub thing is the only thing I could find that rhymes - maybe when he comes on as sub we could sing it, a situational chant

I think the first song should be passed around as the song for M. Gray - day/night, black/white one - that was classic

I like the first suggestion, except: Go, Go Jonny Go Go Go, Go, Jonny Go Go Go, Jonny [erm, ok I'm struggling....but something positive in this space please!] Obviously to the tune of Johnny B.Goode
