The Dukeries Owl

That looks very beatable this season.

He did well to smother that "back pass" which was a fantastic through ball for their forward.

Needs another couple of ooo's in there to be a proper oooooh!

At least we know that some kind of stability has been achieved, if the rest of this years wages are safe and certain, whereas we previously didn't know this a couple of days before payday, usually then to be met by "There will be a delay" message. The sale procedure seems to be progressing promisingly, with 11 interested which is far better than no interest which could have been the case in the worst of scenarios. We can just sit back and see who our Wednesdayite administrator sells us to, knowing that things are stable for the time being in any case.

Could we really get 4 games out of Chalobah? It would be the first time wouldn't it?

If they win 5-0, That's using up a month's worth of goals in one match.

A more worthwhile gesture would be is to give us the rest of what they should have realistically paid for Gassama, say another 3 million. They just took advantage of a panicking, thick as mince Thai owner.

That was only conditional on Wednesday getting to the Premier League.

I hope the Mayor said "What's it got to do with me?"

He should have said that he spent too much time ignoring the advice of people that knew much more about running a football club than ever he did. Plus he should have known how to delegate instead of looking over everyone's shoulders and questioning their decision making at vey turn. Also there was no management structure at all at any level, how did he expect to run 14 companies simultaneously with no management structure.

Isn't our first goalscorer of the season fit for action and took in some training?

Looks like Bazza will have another job, besides being captain and unofficial spokesman.

What if nobody wants to buy us for the proverbial pound. It seems there would be two scenarios. He manages to borrow another million from somewhere or we go bust.

They do play in some nice little triangles

Yeah, it's Frank Lampards' Coventry against that Bald Blokes' Sheffield Wednesday with that idiot chairman fella.

You mean like the sort of team we usually lose to? A couple of pieces of sloppy defending (Says he just as Iorfa scores )

He'll be picking from last years squad till October

He has done a Maggie Thatcher, selling off every public asset for next to nothing to pay for tax cuts, but now the assets are all sold but we still have to pay for all the giveaways. Sound familiar?

Hi Neil, does this now qualify this as the shortest transfer thread in the history of Owlstalk?

They should refuse to play, but at the kick off as the referee blows his whistle, they should to a man just casually walk off back into the changing room. That wouldn't give SKY time to switch to another game. Go out in style.

Well, I never knew he played darts left handed.

That's a great idea, I hope it catches on!

I can't believe this thread, I wouldn't care if they turned out in white t-shirts from a supermarket, till all the other problems get sorted out. some people need to get their priorities in order!

He might be back but his squad will be decimated thanks to DC's fire sale and we can't buy buy anyone, even if we had any money. Starting the season will be like the night before the start of the battle of the Alamo, where 188 defenders dug in against an army of 10,000 well disciplined and trained troops. At least they lasted 14 days.

Nobody else wants him as their manager, the man is under contract and he has bills to pay like everyone else.
