Set to be unveiled as sheffield united manager.

Good luck to him.

Fuck me, he bounces back!

Good Luck to him, I would have kept him here until the end of the season.

Can see Douglas and Sean O linked to them now.

Fair play to him for landing that job. I expected him to end up somewhere like Bradford or Bristol Rovers. Good luck to him anyway. I'm sure the Wednesday fans won't be too happy.

Good for him.

Still like Wilson.

As for that tosser Hart  :guns2:

Not complaining he got the chop but I think he's a good manager. He had a bad season.

Top bloke. Glad he's not going to Rovers. Too good for them anyway.

Be interesting to see what he has to say about this season? Not seen an interview from him since he left?

Good luck to him, absolutley loved him when things were going well, shame it all went tits up.

Gave a lot of us their best season ever supporting STFC (and one of the worst)

Congratulations to Danny. He's a decent manager a sound guy. I think he'll do a good job there as they will be wanting to bounce back with a good season. All the best to him.

I assumed that maybe part of his termination clause that he was not allowed to talk to the press about his tenure at STFC?

Yes I can see the attraction. This season he assembled a sqaud good enough to finish 24 out of 24 and the season before assembled a midtable side that got lucky with Ward and Austin.
I wish Sheffield United the best of luck. They've got themselves a manager that makes use of dubious tactics that players find hard to fathom.
A manger that promises lots of new signings only then to fails to sign anybody.
As the years go by, he has achieved less and less.

Fucking young 'uns !!   :cry:

You're a barrell of laughs aren't you.

I see Danny is now trending across the UK on Twitter - higher than Cheryl Cole. Who'da thunk it?!

He has got a point though - as nice a bloke as Danny is - he's definitely got a point :)

'kin ell...that's a pretty good gig ???

I suppose it's near enough the equivilant of Jim Magilton getting the Swindon job too. I doubt this will go down well on either side of the steel city.

Good, fuck both of them

Daily Mirror totally got that wrong(surprise surprise)-they report today that Mark Robins was given the job on Monday!

adams now wilson.............god the united fans must be loving that

Gonna be a tasty couple of Steel City derbies next season, hope they televise them.

 Wilson will probably look to take a job of lot of old boys from us....which would be a good idea.

 Maybe PdC can get a few Blades as he and Wilson must be old mates  :)

I must admit that I also thought about whether Wilson would partake in a spot of 'Sturrocking' and go back to his old club for players.

I imagine that Wilson can attract better to Bramall Lane.

Blades fans are furious, probably like us appointing Rix or Magilton.

He won't last 3 months.Not through bad managment or anything but they are not happy one bit. He is fighting a losing battle with this one which is a shame because leaving 2 clubs in 12 months may make it hard for him next time round.

Think it might be a case of hope over expectation...

didn't sheff utd see the mess he made of us last season?
they better hope his plan a works,as he aint got a plan b

Anyone seen their forums? Not happy at all.

Delighted for him.

Nice guy, good manager.

Wish him all the best.

They are not happy. I want him to do well, but they are not even going to give him a hope in hell.

I didn't meen it to be funny but I think it's fairly accurate.  In managerial circles, he's a fading light.

I wonder if he'll give a salute to the owls fans during the derby ;)

As DRS said, he's fighting a losing battle from the start. He'll be sacked by christmas if they're not challenging anyway.

Doesn't help either, when Wilson has apparently admitted in the past that he 'despises' Sheffield United

isn't it nice to compare the names of managers that were linked with us, and the managers linked to them. We get PDC they get journeyman wilson. Shows how attractive our club is i think.

Extremely strange appointment by Sheff Utd, which unsurprisingly none of their supporters are happy with. I wish him all the best, but can see it being a disaster. I wonder if they'll have some stay away supporters as well due to the appointment?

It certainly does seem strange, the fact that he was sacked by a club bottom of L1 is not exactly inspiring, but a former manager of your nearest and dearest?!?! I can see why they're all going mental.

I really thought he was nailed on to make a glorious return at Barnsley.

Top bloke, I hope he proves them all wrong.

Nice to see that football fans are the same countrywide :)

I thought Sheffield united were "Pigs", but that is what they call the Wendies. Is it a mutual porcine appreciation?

WTF! How come Wilson is suddenly a 'nice guy / top bloke' etc?

In my book, the stumpy little cunt can go fuck himself. He left us in deep shit with a squad of gutless wankers (mostly).

Whatever went on in the background after the Wembley no-show - Austin putting it about, Fitton interfering, panic signings etc, his ineptitude left us at the bottom of the league, utterly fucking humiliated below a side in administration with a 10 point deduction.

Some of you have short / deluded memories.

I still don't think he left soon enough.

well said

He's not "suddenly" a nice guy - he always was, even if we were terrible. And yes, he did make massive errors this year which ultimately led to our relegation, but I don't hate him for it, nor do I consider him a "stumpy little cunt" for it.

So if Sir Alex made a monumental cock up of next season that would give the Utd supporters the right to say the same about him? 

Wilson took us on as relegation certainties and kept us up and then took us to within 90 mins of the championship

Yes last season was a disaster we all know that but he had his hands tied in some regards - he had nothing to do with why Greer left, he couldn't stop Paynter going and he deffinately couldn't do anything about Austin wanting to go.

When he left we were still in a very savable position but Hart was way out of his depth and made all the wrong decisions.

Saying some of us have short memories is more than a little rich don't you think?  Surely a short memory would be indicative of not being able to look past last season? That is the very thing people are doing here.

And at what point did Wilson stop being a 'nice guy?  He was, if nothing else, just that!

'Monumental cock up'?

Hmm.

Doesn't really cut the mustard KT, does it?

Blaming Hart for relegation? Jog on.

Got your cage well and truly fucking rattled, eh Vicar?

I still like Wilson.

1st season - kept us up
2nd season - had us playing the best football in the league and almost took it up
3rd season - recruited terribly and fucked it up

still enough there for us to reflect on his time fairly favourably. lets face it pretty much any manager leaves on quite bad terms for one reason or another. surprised hes got a gig at such a 'big' club but if he gets his recruitment a lot better than he did a year ago then they will be near the top of the league playing good football

Danny Wilson > Paul Hart

At least we had a bit of a chance with DW, and wasn't play 4 5 fucking 1

wilson was kept too long.the run of games before his sacking was shocking.

Find it hard to harbour any ill-feeling towards Wilson. It all fell apart pretty spectacularly at the end, but he did more good than bad while he was here. Sure he'll do a decent job at Shef Utd, good luck to him.

I'm not saying that, but if you're gonna bring someone in that isn't as capable, I would've stuck with the same person til the end of the season.

or brought in somebody who could turn it around? we sacked a dour 1 plan manager and replaced him with another.

I had to chuckle at this on the dodgy rumours site.

The following will be the first signings of Danny Wilson to Sheffield United:
-Owain Tudor Jones will join on loan from Norwich City after impressing Wilson playing for Wales.
-Theo Robinson will join from Derby County after recently falling out with Nigel Clough.
-Wilson will bid for Simon Cox from West Brom but is unlikely to come.
-Jerel Ifil will join from Bristol Rovers.
-Anthony McNamee will join on a free transfer.
-Billy Paynter will join from Leeds on loan.
-Alex Henshall and David Ball will join on loan from Man City.
-United will bid £400,000 on Gordon Greer from Brighton.
-Craig Easton will join from Southend United on a free transfer.
-Lee Trundle will make a surprise return to English football and join United on a one month rolling contract.
-If Reading get promoted, Wilson is ready to pounce to take defender Sean Morrison on loan.
-The big transfer of the summer for United will be the signature of Charlie Austin. Austin hasn't played much football at Burnley and Kevin McCabe looks set to wrap up a surprise permanent deal for the proven League 1 goalscorer.
-Wilson will also target Jamie Stephans and Stephan Darby from Liverpool, Simon Ferry and Paul Caddis from his old club Swindon.
-These are all targets Wilson wants, some may not be loan deals, some could be more permanent, especially with a big clear out expected at 'The Blades'. He is keen to bring some of his own staff in over the next few days with Paul Bodin expected to help John Pemberton with the youth team and ex Arsenal keeper George Wood to be coaching the goalkeepers.

did i actually blame hart for relegation there?  and 'jog on'?  grow up...

i also note you failed completely to even aknowledge the points about what wilson did for the club, probably because they don't serve your argument well at all.

I feel sorry for him really, because if the fans are that antagonistic before he's even started he doesn't really stand a chance. I hope he does a good job for them.

Hahaha brilliant you calling other people deluded when you did a huge post after Swindon fans dared to voice there disapproval at Paul Hart when we lost at home at Notts County, saying you have never been so ashamed to be a Swindon fan following the behaviour of our fans that day which was a rediculous comment.

Wilson contributed to our downfall no doubt with a terrible year last season but Hart had more than enough games against easy opposition where he put out sides that were negative, unmotivated and lacklustre, both managers equally contributed to our downfall.

Wilson delivered a fantastic season 2 years ago and the wins against Leeds home and away, Southampton away, Charlton in the play offs will live long in the memory.  He had us playing attractive attacking football and we barely lost all year so for me good luck Danny hope you do well at Sheffield United!

As KT has said, grow up. Having a pop at anybody with a different opinion to you is pathetic. Even those with strong feelings in the debate about fascism have showed a lot more respect, restraint and open-mindedness than you do in a debate about whether or not Wilson was a nice guy.

actually I am slightly concerned he'll come in for caddis and ferry.  though he treated ferry like shit so that may be a no go.

wilson is suffering the same kind of reception we have malpas here.  pressure is on.

Don't be. Sheffield united are skint and could not afford Caddis

Good luck to Danny at Sheffield United, hope he wins those fans round and gets them promoted because in all honesty, Sheffield United (and the same goes for Sheffield Wednesday) should not be playing in League One.

I will always remember Wilson for the 09/10 season, making it a pleasure to follow Town home and away and will never forget (as others have said) the wins against Leeds & Southampton etc and the PO semi finals against Charlton, I am being a sentimental twat here, but those memories will stick with me for the rest of my life.  Whether you like him or not, you have got to admit that under Wilson that season we played some decent stuff and dont under-estimate the things he done behind the scenes along with the Board to get STFC running in a more professional manner.

Results would prove otherwise.

I can imagine the Sheff Utd fans are furious.

He's on a three year contract as well!

He also states that he will "bring in an experienced number two the next few days"... can it be Peter Shitliffe - another Sheff Wed patriot??

That would really turn the place into "¤)"(&

HAHA!  :clap:

Fuck him

I don't hate the guy, it's not as though he fucked up intentionally. But he did fuck up epically and was largely responsible for one of the worst seasons in the clubs history.

I won't be hoping fails, but then I'm also quite indifferent in regards to how well he does.

It's all about Di Canio now.

I reckon Delta was on the 'Wife Beater' last night ;)

I reckon he's just a plain fucking tit (no emoticon)

Wilson and Hart were both partly to blame for last season but the board were more responsible than either of them IMO.

Good luck to him, he's always been a decent bloke and a good manager but Im not sure its the right club. Given his Wednesday connections he'll be under pressure from the fans right from the off.

They'll probably have the same type of "big club" mentality as Leeds / Wednesday / etc.. too so they wont be happy unless they are challenging for a top 2 place.

Good luck to him unfortunetly it didnt end right for him here he did try his best but he was not helped by the board.

Would not surprise me to see him come in for a couple of our freebies, perhaps Douglas & Cuthbert as they would both do well for any team in L1 and would probably be viewed as good signings but I'm sure he wont sign many players he managed here.

He is good manager no doubt about that but did buckle under pressure here and the pressure there is alot bigger

In terms of results, yes of course they should be playing in League One.  However from a purely realist point of view personally, both Sheffield clubs should not be playing in the 3rd Tier of English football.  It is exactly the same view I have with regards to wishing that Wigan were not a Premiership club.  On results they deserve to be up there but I would rather have a Nottingham Forest taking their place.

There is a doubt.

A good manager does not fail in such an epic magnitude.

Oh dear.....not a great start...

And i thought Malpas got a rough deal when he took over!!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-13575350

Damnit, I thought we were the worst fans in the country. Someone called Hasney told me.

We'd of done the same had Rix got the job.

Somewhat different - Danny Wilson isn't a paedophile - or has he got to actually make a statement to that effect for anyone to believe him?  ;)

Yeah, I want a Friday statement from him with that effect.

If Wilson came in for Ferry and Caddis and gave us back the money we paid for them, I'd take it.

Trouble is that would be two more we'd have to replace with unknown quantities

How fucking boring football would be if only the 'big clubs' were at the top. Fuck that.

That would be the boredom called the 'Premier League' (top 4).

Wilson surely must have known he wouldn't be a popular appointment.  I though at times last season he was losing the plot, this confirms it.  Why on earth would he want to take on a role where nobody wants him?  Surely he could have found something else less controversial?

Are you joking?  3 year contract at prob at least 300K a year...even if he doesn't make the end of next week, that's his pension sorted.

400 people with too much time on their hands. If he does well he'll be a god

If he doesn't make the end of next week and gets paid off, yes it's worth it obviously - money for nothing!  However, to come out for your first game to a large number of the home support booing him (which I assume would be the case), I can't see being any fun.............

Sheffield United's jobless fans have spoken.

I'd take the money and take the chance. Don't get me wrong, they're both decent players but for the money we paid I'd expect better. Maybe they can both kick on next season but I'd cut and run if I could

Makes me chuckle town fans wanting him to cock up at sheff u to justify his sacking here and claim he would never have kept us up anyway..good to see the wilson out mob still floating around when we're onto our 3rd manager since his departure..wankers

I couldn't give a shit if he's succesful or not. I don't want him to fail but I couldn't care less if he does. He's no longer anything to do with us and the goodwill he had with me for 09/10 was used up by his useless signings, dodgy team selection and substitutions, bad tactics and an inability to motivate his players in 10/11.
 

You said: 'When he left we were still in a very savable position but Hart was way out of his depth and made all the wrong decisions.'

If that's not blaming Hart, why mention him?

As someone else said, Wilson may or may not be a good bloke - I'm willing to bet that very few who want to publicly suck him off ever met him, so wouldn't know if was or wasn't - but he has a massive black mark against him as a manager for last season.

And if Fitton really did interfere that much, I'd have thought Wilson would have been better off just resigning, rather than allowing the situation to spiral downwards and to damage his reputation.

Good managers don't allow themselves to get into situations like that, they just fuck off.

Oh, and apologies for telling you to Jog on - must have been the crate of Wife Beater... Hic ;D

Wilson gave us our best season in years, history will judge him kindly for that  :bookread:

Personally I can't hate the bloke, that night at Charlton will stay with me forever, the rest will fade.
Got a feeling he'll do alright at Sheff Utd too. I'll be surprised if they're not up there next season :hmmm:

but i still didn't actually blame hart for relegation, of course we were in the shit when he arrived and it was a tough job but i still believe it was an achievable one, everyone was to blame for last season and all i meant was that it wasn't solely wilson's.

i didn't see anyone calling fitton a cunt etc (or whatever words have been used along the way) when he stepped down as chaiman so why should wilson be so?

and thanks for the apology on the 'jog on' front, i can't abide that phrase at all. :)

I don't get this. Out of Wilson, the players and the Board, the Board are least culpable in my view. If anything, the Board are guilty of being too loyal to Wilson, but Wilson is guilty of wasting the Board's money on shit signings and the players are guilty of doing all their talking in the Adver/Old Town bars and fuck all on the pitch (with a couple of exceptions).

wilson out protests already at their ground today.
imo there are plenty of better candidates and he's fucked already.terrible mistake by their chairman

Good post.

The board / Fitton played a big part in last season. I dont think anyone can accuse them of not investing though. Ditto this season - if only for PDC's wages and backroom staff - so far.

All the problems last season started with the sale of Greer which was a board decision. Not only did that weaken the team it also undermined Wilson because it was clear that decision was taken over his head.

Likewise the sale of Austin, and both sales were made very late in the transfer window giving very little time to sign adequate replacements.

Overall Im a big fan of the board and what they've done for the club, but they made the biggest mistakes last season. I just hope they've learnt the lessons.

i agree mostly,but not about austin. i heard what he got as his signing on fee and wages.he would have been mad not to leave when he did.could have broken his leg and never played again. the board couldn't stop that move.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Wilson had more than enough resources to find replacements. Despite these resources he completely and utterly failed in epic proportions, other managers would have (and did) managed on a fraction of what Wilson had to work with.

I think there was a lot more to the Austin sale than we'll ever know though. By all accounts he was a total cunt and keeping him was simply not a option.

Dot Cotton's been feeling a bit like that recently.

Agree although the fact that it was obvious a good 6 months before he left that we would need to replace him and his goals makes it look very poor indeed that they didn't get a replacement in.
They have paid the price of gambling with what they had instead of splashing out on a new striker.

I wish that people would stop saying there was no money when they quite clearly was.

They were willing to splash out on a new striker to the tune of AT LEAST 300k. The money WAS made available and it does my head in that people keep saying it wasn't.

And whose responsibility is it to get a replacement in anyway? The boards?

Asides from making funds available for transfers and wages which they quite clearly DID as a nailed on FACT no matter how much some people deny it, what else are they supposed to do?

You dont know what strings were attached to spending that sort of money.

Would it have been available for a 26 year old player?

Honestly think that Fitton would not have resigned if he (and the rest of the board) had felt his policies were blameless in our relegation.

How fucking terrible for him.

300k +, plus wages to spend on a striker in league 2 but he was restricted by age.

Come on. The vast majority of managers in League two would loved to be 'shackled' to such a degree. And we don't know if it would have been available for a 26 yr old do we? So I don;t see how that could be used as an argument anyway.

And still. Why are people saying the board were not willing to splash the cash when it is FACT that they were?

It's a fucking undeniable FACT.

£300k on a striker who was so young he might not have been able to help us much anyway. Long term planning, not the firefighting that was required in january.

Fitton's had his say on it, will be interesting to see if Danny Wilson will comment, or whether he will continue his dignified silence.

Im not interested in having this argument with you anymore. I dont think weve heard both sides of the story. It doesnt matter that much to me in terms of my view of Danny Wilson. Overrall I think he did a great job, and was a top bloke, but 3 crucial free signings were a disaster for him, Prutton, Dossevi and Pericard.

Don't make comments and then say you don't want to discuss it. People shouldn't go about saying things that are just not true.


But the money was there, wasn't it? You could say the same thing about any striker as well. Remember Thorpe and Cureton? Going by your argument we had might as well not bother signing anybody.

Besides, that lad did quite well for Plymouth IIRC so you've kinds shot yourself in the foot.


Again, what were the board supposed to do?

They tried making links with other clubs, set up a scouting network and made funds available for transfers and wages.

What else could they possibly do?

They could have kept the players we already had that were doing a good job. 

Fair play, they've made decent money available by league one standards, I dont think anybody is denying that but spending money on players is not an exact science especially in the middle of the season.

Actually. Rather a lot of people continue to deny that money was made available.

And how on earth do you really expect they were to keep hold of Austin? They clearly tried but the petulant little sod threw his toys out of the pram.

Even Man Utd can't always hold onto their players FFS.

If I could, I'd fit a number of people with shock collars. Whenever they say the board weren't willing to spend money, I'd zap the cunts.

The problem is that somebody says it and a load of others start agreeing with them when it just isn't fucking true.

Does my nut in, as you may have noticed.

fitton knows he fucked up and stepped aside.wilson won't say shit as he got a golden handshake.
both made errors of judgment which in hindsight they shouldn't have.
old news,we move on.

You know what I don't even want to get involved in this argument, but what golden handshake did Wilson get.  He didn't did he?

We didnt spend enough money and we clearly didnt spend it on the type of players we actually needed.

We signed a non league defender who we sent back to non league. A defender who was already out for the season. A player who couldnt get a look in last season and a midget striker.

Bangkok and Co,we cleared three million for two good strikers,a third of that money on one striker ie Lambert would have meant lge 1 survival and who knows possibly better.
Stop bleating on about money being made available...........the right amount wasn't and we paid the price.
Lets not forget that even a million invested in one or two good strikers still gave us a profit on two strikers of two million,not even including the Greer/Morrison deals.
Yes we forked out on wages but then all clubs have to do that,the fact remains that we coined in good money for two good strikers and didn,t replace them.
As with past boards they kept fucking about and a last day panic deal was the outcome which was a disaster.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Leefer. Wilson had AT LEAST 300k to spend but he didn't even manage that, he couldn't. He didn't have players lined up and the ones he did didn't want to come.

What makes you think a player like Lambert would want to come to a struggling league 2 team? We could have had 5 million to spend, doesn't mean the players will come to a struggling league 2 team FFS.

And investing a million in one or two strikers??????? WTF, think about what you are saying.

What million quid striker would come to a struggling League 2 team? They just wouldn't. This is Swindon FFS. We only spent 1/2 million on Fjortoft for crying out loud. We have NEVER paid 1 million (or the equivalent) for a single player throughout our entire history yet you expect it to happen when we are struggling in the third tier.

Have a word.

Oh come on. Its absolutely futile comparing transfer fees in 93 to transfer fees in 2011.

And this again Leefer

What else could they do? They set up a scouting network, build ties with other clubs and make money for transfers and wages available.

What more could the board possibly do?

300k is fuck all...gets you a non lge player these days if you are lucky.
Not going to argue bud...............we could have got Lambert before we were struggling before Saints got him.

We were only a struggling lge 1 team actually so get facts straight before getting in a tiz.....and less than a year ago we were not a struggling team we were one match away from Championship footy and everyone at Wembley that day knew Paynter was gone and so was Austin.......the board should have acted then and didn't,and we paid the price.
The board have done a fine job off the pitch........on the pitch it has become a fucking disaster and Fitton himself recognises this by resigning,so why dont you?

I'm fucking astonished that people say the board are being tight, I really am.

http://safalra.com/other/historical-uk-inflation-price-conversion/

Today's equivalent...... 750k (for Fjortoft)

When we would be playing in the PM. And some people expect us to pay more than that now when we are/were in the 3rd tier.

This is where the problem is Lee.

You are massively underestimating how much money that is and how much some clubs need that kind of money. There are Championship clubs that could use that kind of money, that's assuming Championship striker would be willing to drop a league.

Cox was replaced by Austin who was on Fitton's radar for ages. Other money was spent on other players...the wrong ones. We didn't have a plan for when Greer or Austin left and that was the problem.

We weren't shit solely because the board didn't spend more money.

As a few have said i don't doubt they spent money and i don't doubt they would of spent more.The problem imo was reluctance to spend good money on a experienced centre half.

You could well be right.

I still suspect the money was made available, but that's just a guess.

Still, people have been talking mainly about no money for strikers which we know not to be true. And I remember Wilson saying the problem with the defence was that the strikers weren't up to the job.

loads of things went wrong.bad sales,buys and those still here playing shit.
board,managers and players all to blame for the dismal season.
hopefully it will be soon forgotten after a title winning season next(touches wood)

I agree absolutely arriba.

Just for the record, It might seem as though I am trying to absolve the board of all responsibility but that is not the case. Fitton clearly made some huge errors that cost us, that much is undeniable and I am pleased we have a new chairman with a fresh approach that is more adventurous.

It just find it baffling that some people deny the investment that has been made.

I think the issue may lie elsewhere. We brought in Ken Ryder to be our super scout. Fitton stated we'd have scouted 5 players for each position. Now, did we have 5 targets for each position? If so, then did we get any of them because Benyon appears to have not been in our top 5. Also ,who actually did the purchasing - was it Fitton or Wilson? Regardless, more money was made avaialble to Wilson than any manager since the Scouse bastard and we pissed this money down the shitter buying either absolute fucking dross or players who were unable to immediately help our cause. 

Arriba in continued perceptive post groove.

I think he has a special knife that cuts through the fug and bollocks.

[url width=360 height=360]http://www.hollywoodtoysandcostumes.com/storeimages/15dg14774.jpg[/url]

I did hear a slightly different take on Fitton recently, which had come from within the club. Fitton apparently wanted to sack Wilson after the Crawley game, but was over ruled by the rest of the Board who wanted to give him longer. When he was sacked, Fitton didn't want Harte, he wanted a long term manager - again he was over ruled. He then resigned, because he felt had his choices been backed, we might not have been relegated.

i know he wanted trollope in.the rest you could be right about but i'm not convinced personally.

I must admit that Paul Hart strikes me as a Fittonesque appointment.

If fitton was still chairman we would have ended up with that cunt trollope

the last two words shouldn't really be said in the same sentence

:)

I still think Trollope would not have been a bad appointment.

Still delighted with Di Canio though. Just want the season to get started NOW!

Spot on with the first bit; Fitton wanted Wilson out just after Christmas. He was the lone voice. Rest of the board thought Wilson would turn things around and effectively over ruled him due to numbers.

Not a clue about the Hart appointment, but Fitton had Trollope lined up for definate.

The biggest failing this season was selling Greer and replacing him with a young player who couldn't get in our team last season. We we're so naive to think that we could do this and get away with it.

For the first half of the season we scored enough goals to be in the mix at the top end of the table. But our defending was shit and we we're hovering just above the relegation zone. Come January we sold our only goalscorer, coupled with our shit defence we went down.

Every cloud..
