I thought he did well in his loan spells, but he was always over weight and picked up a lot of injuries. The last 12 months have seen him slide into a really even more unfit, barely mobile weeble. It's also highlighted what a total gobshite he is. The man is thick. He's a bully, a thug (sorry, picking on ball boys is not a sign of committment, it reflects what a total dick he is), and he is utterly disrespectful to the fans. He helped to keep us up, but he was a central figure in taking us down. Now, when he returns, we have to think about how we can throw as much shit in his face as possible. Carry in bags of dog shit? Have a shit and carry it from the bogs? Or shall we just get some of that pretend plastic shit? Anymore shit suggestions.......?

'Go throw shite on yourself.' Pure Shakespeare. I'll never forget when he gave one of our ballboys a mouthful and an evil stare because he wasn't quick enough in returning the ball. You couldn't make it up. Is any other club as strange as ours? We'vd had it all over the years. Still, i have to say, it is entertaining.

I thought the Belgian formation might suit us, but the Tottenham style would be better. Iverson Dummy/Hamer Eddie Clarkey Hunt Gardner Missile/Branger Cotterill Baxter Byrne Surridge/Don't call me Ishmael That attacking midfield trio would be very, very exciting. It would rip the veggies apart. Only problem is, one is injured, one is suspended and one hasn't signed. Still, mere details.

Are we now looking at 3-5-2? The balance of the squad might suggest it. Iverson/Placide/Zeus Edmundson/Hamer Clarke/Graham Taylor/Stott Dummy/Cotterill Gardner/Coke Missile/Branger Nepo/Hunt Baxter/Mao Windy/O'Grady Surridge/Benteke We've also got the two kids, Fane and Doofus. Hmm. Doesn't seem to be shaping at all badly, at least for Division Four. It might take a few weeks before they settle ( i think MK will be a tricky one), but with a bit of patience we might be able to make more of a fist of it this time.

A deserved reputation. Intelligent and really well informed posts. A passionate life long supporter. Excellent and fitting tribute. GRHS.

...and he only wanted to give them £30k. It went to a tribunal. What a man!

Yes, ignore the greatest figure in the history of the club. Very wise. We'd be in trouble if we listen to him. Who knows, we might finish up in the fourth division rather than being founder members of the Premier League. And me!

boys as young as 12!!! they need some steak in those pies. it's bordering on child abuse. oh, and the smoke had to be green. freaks!!! what's wrong with toxic smoke. i hate this division.

Going back a few years, but i instantly thought of John Willie Less, especially after it had travelled more than 10 miles. Vile. Worst drink ever. OB was far better, as was/is Holts (and that's rough), Hyde's and Robinson's. Boddington's when at Strangeways was a class act. Pint of Boddies on a Friday, preceded by chips, pudding and gravy in my auntie's Pyrex bowl. Heaven. How the hell did JWL survive....

Could we adapt a formation similar to Belguim? We could have Byrne and Baxter playing behing a large goalscoring centreforward. Two big lads in midfield, two fast wingbacks and three centrebacks. Goalkeeper Dummigan Edmundson Clarke Hamer Hunt Gardner Coke Baxter Byrne anyone who scores goals i think i'll send this to Frank asap. There's no way he's thought about it.

Goodbye McLaughlin. Potenitial, yes, but lazy, immature and a waste of space. I wouldn't want to be next to him in the trenches. His non engagement over the last 12 months is a disgrace. He's took the piss and pissed off. Arsehole.

Could well be that he's on his way http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/06/14/report-sheffield-wednesdays-andy-rhodes-set-for-oldham-athletic/

Did anyone see that excellent mini series about Jeremy Thorpe....We really do need a different nickname.

Welcome back Frankie. Really nice guy. I can't think of many better centeforwards over the last 40 years (Sharp being one, but he was a bit of a shit), despite the crap being posted by some on here. I always remember one goal in front of the Chaddy End, when he was clean through but had to go into a full on challenge with the goalkeeper. He was obviously going to get seriously clattered, but he didn't bottle it. He never did. Always put in a shift. Great signing at the time. Perfect foil for Ritchie. You'd have to know zero about football and the wider contribution someone like Frank was able to make if you're serious about having a pop at him. Here's hoping he can do another job for us. I think he might need a gobby, aggressive assistant, but his coaching knowledge and experience means he should be able to give it a real go. Good luck Frankie!

Scholes would be worth a punt not because he's one of the greatest English players of recent times, nor because of his affection for the club, but because he comes across as a no nonsesne, no bullshit, straight talking type of individual who actually talks a lot of common sense. He has fire in his belly and he seems to have a lot of knowledge about the game (again, not based on his world class ability as a player). His status would command respect. He would need a good, experienced assistant (yes, that again), but i can't see him accepting the type of shit we had to put up with from January. I think he would be one step away from ABH if players put in that kind of a shift.

Scholes and Phelan for me. Grayson would be a good appointment, but would he want to start again at the bottom? ? I'd still give it to him.

Spot on. He was poor once his honeymoon period was over. I didn't feel the love and i didn't see much of a brain, but i did hear a lot of cry baby bullshit. Why the delay in sacking him? Can we afford it now? Or has the preferred option now agreed.

Bastard Wellens. i am still really angry and have not entertained returning until at very least August. Now you pull a fast one and get Baxter to sign. arghhhh! welcome back Jose. i've missed my love-in with you. bye bye Jack.

This is all we can afford. Spray on 'grass.'

Another reason why he should be sacked.

Neither can i. He's been a disaster. After his caretaker honeymoon, his teams were okay, then inconsistent, then poor, then piss poor, then piss poor and spineless. Why anyone thinks he should stay is totally beyond me. I can accept going down, to a limited extent, providing we put up a genuine fight. We didn't. Unable to motivate and not that great tactically, he then resorted to blaming the pitch and the training ground. He actually strikes me as someone who talks a lot, tries to impress with his knowledge, borders on arrogant but is actually very superficial in every way. He's actually a bit thick, arrogant and full of shit. He reminds me of Steve Eyre, only worse. He might want to stay in order to pay his bills, but wouldn't that just sum up the level of his commitment? He didn't look like he gave a shit. it didn't seem to hurt. He looked like he really couldn't have given a toss. i really don't like him. He's been a disaster. He should go -NOW.

BP can do it. I'd trust him to do a better job. Just get get that useless dick wellens out - NOW. I'd rather have Walliams than Wallyens. Why is he even still here? Anyone with an ounce of decency would've left straight after the match. I get the impression he couldn't give a toss. GO NOW.

Well it's taken me 24 hours to even look at anything on-line or even contemplate the shit league we've dropped down to, so from my viewpoint, yes. 0ver 40 years in the top three divisions - back to where it started. What's really angered me, even at my age, is the spineless pile of shit we've had to put up with since January. The last few weeks have been the worst. Gutless. Sheridan saved us for two years by getting the players focused and motivated. This last few months have been a disgrace. Donny at home was an improvement....yes, and that was actually a total pile of steaming crap against a team with nothing to play for. Yesterday was far worse. Wellens - just piss off and do one! Take most of this cowardly bunch of amateurs with you. You will all go down in our club's history as the some of the biggest failures i've ever had the misfortune of watching. SHITHOUSES - ARGHHHHHH. You got the job because of a little run when caretaker. Apart from that, you've been total disaster who looks like he couldn't give a shit. I have an intense dislike of you at the moment. Please -don't ever come back. No fight. No guts. No courage. No professionalism. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. So, yes, i'm bothered, depressed, very angry and even contemplating switching my life long allegiance. Glasgow Celtic maybe. They win a lot of games and have an appropriate heritage that has always appealed to me (although i hope they don't play Benywho). Talking of green, though...I mean, Forest Green! Seriously. Tree hugging, middle-class veggies in a remote (possibly incestuous) village somewhere in the west country (I think). Sorry Forest people - but this is another step-down in our decline and it hurts. Life is totally shit at the moment, for many intense, personal reasons. Perspective? Yes. But, actually, this actually makes the manner of our pathetic capitulation even more difficult to take. Just when you want the love of your life to give you a little lift, Wellens' team kicks you in the nether regions with a truly pathetic show. Rochadale were lucky. I've watched it. Charlton treated it as a training session (i really hope they don't the play-offs - bastards), and that was a clear penalty towards the end. But they at least they showed some courage. I'd have fatty Hill any day over the shitbag Wellens. I might have calmed down by August....

Absolutely. He was immense. One of those coming of age performances. He even gave Wellens a mouthful.

Anyway, it's a piece of piss getting tickets through the inter-web. West Stand, upper left, 1-10. See you all there!!
