Can only hope he's a reformed character... :

 

Tunnicliffe was given a two-match ban for the start of the 2015–16 season, a £5,000 fine and ordered to take an educational course after calling Middlesbrough's Patrick Bamford a "sausage boy" over Twitte

He's also been done for smashing his range rover into a van pissed up years back.

Couple of my relatives grew up with him. Apparently had all the talent in the world but had too much too young and was a became a bit of a dick with it.

Interesting that Paddy says the original source is Brad Knowles and he's just tweeted a free agent list with Ryan Tunnicliffe on it...

Friend of a friend says it’s a midfielder, possibly first name Ryan? No idea beyond that 

Tunnicliffe?

Local lad (Heywood) without a club.

Heard he was looking to come back to these pastures a few weeks ago.

See how he gets on against the RWB @BP1960 recommended at Colwyn Bay Alex Downes.

Bad day for the unsy out lads

Latics fans on twitter: "Sign a right back"

Latics: "here's a right back"

Latics fans on twitter: "no, not that one"

I really need to delete it.

@b0ndl1ne any truth in the rumour that James Berry is going to Chesterfield? One of my mates has a contact at Macc and he seems to think it's on!

I guess there was!

Norwood wouldn't have even met Unsworth until yesterday would he?

433 / 451

Hudson

New RB

Raglan

Hobson

Kitching

Sheron (If lundstram not fit)

Shelton (if no new midfielder)

Gardner

Green

Norwood

Dickenson

Couple of mentions of this guy on twitter, although he was linked with clubs in the championship & league 1 a few weeks ago so I've no idea where his names come from.

It’s as simple as this… they gave him time after a poor start and over the 2nd half of the season we were the 3rd best team in the league. They weren’t going to sack him after that. 
 

Since then they’ve improved (but not completed) the squad and we’ve had 1 match this season. 1 match. 
 

There is no way on earth that the club will be happy to sit in mid table for years on end just because the CEO and first team manager get on. 

Bang on

I would love an explanation as to why Sutton was played right wing back. If the response is Green was meant to play that position. Than even more of a fool. 

A few of us called Unsworth out on this in pre-season when he said he was happy with Sutton there and got shot down on here...

Sutton never is/was/will be a right back in any form. A decent centre half maybe, but never in a million years is he a right back.

Sounds like we have one lined up now but why it wasn't sorted weeks ago is beyond me.

Norwood yesterday? Looked painfully slow we hen he was clear on goal about 75 minutes in and should have buried his chance a couple of minutes in. No, I'm not writing him off by the way.

Rarely played 90mins last season, granted it was a higher level but his stamina was Barnsley fans only complaint.

Small point, but pleading to Frank (or any of the Rothwell's) to pull the plug is a bit pointless.

Didn't they say they left all of the playing side of stuff to Darren and don't get involved?

Attacking bench that, there's no defenders!!

Chesterfield sign Michael Jacobs.

Good signing that!

Sounds like the Tom Brady consortium were in talks to buy Rochdale before they went cold on it and opted for Birmingham.

Getting a bit messy over there by the sounds of it, don't think their fans forum went too well tonight and their board are saying they need a loan that will be secured against the stadium to get by.

Anyone else feel a bit.... weird?

I'm that used to the shit we used to have to put up with, that I can't get my head around all this positive stuff!!

With the 5 strikers, who starts? I’d go with Norwood and Reid I think. 

Hope & Nuttall for me!

@b0ndl1ne any truth in the rumour that James Berry is going to Chesterfield? One of my mates has a contact at Macc and he seems to think it's on!

Norwood 

well someone's having pictures taken in the dugout 

Blue & Red home kit for me, but I'm probably in the minority.

White for away

Black for 3rd

Chris, I think Ackey answers the point eloquently..... and is what we were trying to discuss. He can't expect patience in a state of perpetuity.... but it would be bloody handy if folk didn't instantly jump on his back if we aren't playing like Brazil from the off..... some people are itching to say 'I told you so' if we aren't instantly in a two horse race with Chesterfield for the title..... for me (Andy) Top 7 is a minimum requirement, or questions - quite rightly - will be asked.....

Pisses me off that some think we have a god given right to play like prime Brazil.

We've been shit for 20 years, but cos it's not Shez or Ritchie, then Unsworth (or whoever it is) gets a load of grief, simply because their face doesn't fit.

Agree that Top 7 is a minimum, and would show progress (progress we were already starting to see back end of last season) and by Unsworth's own admissions, it's something he should really be achieving.

Chesterfield beaten 2-0 by Bristol Rovers and it could have been a lot more but for their keeper having a blinder.

I suppose Chesterfield might as well pack it in now and get rid of Paul Cook whilst their at it?

Ryan McLaughlin?
