The unofficial non-matchday thread

[chalkies_shorts]

Even if we did, we'd lose Rooney at the same time.

The only chance we have is getting Sheff Utd in the PO final.

With Wilson as manager, his record in play-off finals is worse than ours

Millwall's and Kenny Jackett's was shite until they met us.

Let's not forget we could have Benson and Caddis back for the playoffs

Benson went off injured for Cheltenham today. Sounded like a season ender.

Cunty cunt balls.

Walsall could be the team to watch in the POs.  They played OK at the CG, I'd give them more of a chance than Tranmere & they're the form team.

Not necessarily.

Maybe end of season includes the playoffs. Brum aren't in the playoffs so their season is over but our's isn't (touches wood).

Anybody know the official rules?

If Walsall make it the chances are it'll be at our expense.

Exactly. Top 6 has been decided, unless we royally fuck up.

Rooney is here for the play offs, should we make them. That was confirmed when we signed him.

However, Caddis' loan runs alongside it, so when Rooney goes back - Caddis returns. Meaning should we make the play offs, Caddis will be unavailable anyway.

With Benson, people seem to be forgetting that:

1. he is no better than what have already got

and

2. It is likely he will be playing in the play offs for Cheltenham.

Does anybody that really knows, know the score with Caddis?

Where is CHRIS_STFC when you need him?

Ha ha

I just asked Morshead, he doesn't know either.

[Honkytonk]

I remember hearing/reading somewhere that Rooney's loan wasn't connected to Caddis. It was a swap, yes, but sending Rooney back wasn't linked to Caddis' return, and Caddis' loan running out wasn't linked to Rooney either. There's also some kind of pre-agreed contract if Rooney stays.

However, I could have misremembered this/dreamt it. I'm not as insightful as Chris.

I'd argue he has different qualities to what we have already got. Good point on #2 though! I don't think we'll see Caddis or Benson again anyway.

 I swear Benson must have voiced an opinion on Caddis situation that PDC didn't like..

From FL rules:

53.2.2 A Player whose Standard Loan expires (or terminates) on completion of his Loaning Club's League Matches will not be eligible to play for his Parent Club in any remaining League Matches in that Season notwithstanding the fact that such expiry or termination occurs during a Transfer Window.

Suggests that Caddis wouldn't be eligible. 

Also, Rooney is out of contract at season end so dont see how any future deal for Caddis could be linked to Rooney as suggested by some.

I think that's the generally accepted theory although Di Canio always spoke positively about him in the press, just commenting that Benson didn't fit the new system.
