My guess on this fwiw is that they may have thought they could buy us and effectively shut us down, leaving the city clear to be dominated by the merged club, “Sheffield United”. Obviously not allowed under EFL rules but I can see a certain Bond villain logic in it.

Anyway, I’m not really going to criticise these players. It isn’t going to make this squad any better. And I don’t think there’s very much the manager can do about it.

I think the squad size is reduced in admin and there’s some restriction on playing the kids as well. I don’t have it to hand and may have got it wrong!

That lot are poo. Last year’s Wednesday would have battered them. And they’re 4th!

That’s not why. It’s because we need the squad slot kept open (as I understand it)

It’s been fully explained why we don’t just throw an academy kid in there.

(I was being sarcastic)

It’s a mystery and no mistake!

Reckon this shows the grunters are in a false position, they were obviously several levels above this and just didn’t let us into the game at all. we may well still lose this but most of this division is mediocre as usual.

Cancelled plans mean I get to watch this on Sky+ tonight. Could life get any more exciting?

Quite apart from anything else I wouldn't have thought it was legally possible for the administrators to structure a sale with deferred or contingent compensation. I stand to be corrected by someone who actually knows insolvency law.

Very tickled by the idea that Chansiri is going to take his £15m and buy another football club with it

No point getting depressed about today. They have us beat for quality all over the pitch, and they were 100% fired up today. I didn’t see our players not putting a shift in, but they were outclassed and outcompeted.

Pretty sure you’d have to do money laundering checks. Obvs not an issue when it’s the Walton Penner Group buying us.

Materially quicker to drive from S6 to Manchester Airport than from Zone 2 East London where I live (in West Ham country, sadly) than Heathrow or Gatwick
