Crusoe

Placide binned. Service resumed, there's WiFi by the pool and the beach bar.

Oh yeah, anyone know O'Grady's shirt number?

Miller added. Sorry for the unconscionable delay but I'm on holiday and the all inclusive restaurants and beer on the balcony trump even OWTB.

So would Google Translate.

They'll be puce with rage. Or perhaps a vitamin D deficiency.

Sheridan started his scholarship in April 2016 so I don't think he had another year to go. I'm assuming the scholars who were let go were Whalley, Dry, Arthur, Antoine, Lent and Boyling.

Ditto

Three. Iversen, Graham, Surridge. Can have five in a matchday squad IIRC.

Added Surridge. O'Grady as number 10?

Added O'Grady. Anyone know what shirt number he's got?

Benteke re-signs. Will update the first post in a second.

We change most of the squad each summer, and have just changed the entire backroom staff, the owner and most/all of the directors. Not sure how many heads are left unrolled!

Nah, can't be doing keeping track of another squad as well!

He's still a second year scholar, can be added to the squad anytime.

Yeah, that's the kind of about-face you have to make when you offer 40-year contracts. Back to the Premier League by 2038!

Bazza as Supporter Liaison Officer.

Graham Westley as, uh, motivational coach?

Just need Steve Evans as director of football and Cellino as chair and the four horseman of the football league will be complete.

Woah. It's like Candyman. You say his name three times and he appears.

PS when researching former players, I noticed that Chris Hall is now going by the name "Chord Melodic". What the actual f–?

Shame this is only for Latics players - I could do a "(Pint of) Best" XI otherwise (Oliver Beerhoff, Hakan Mild, Lars Lagerback...). Anyway. Best youth products: G Andy Goram D Andy Barlow D Neal Eardley D Will Haining (or maybe Richard Graham) D James Tarkowski M Paul Bernard M John Eyre M Nick Henry M Mike Milligan M Chris Taylor F Carl Valentine or Alan Young (sorry Scott Vernon) Rules for this best XI: they can't have made a senior appearance for another club before joining us. Youth education somewhere else is okay though.

Not entirely sure tbh.

9 whole places up the chart! He could be number 1 by Christmas.
