    Agree with the above, but would use ‘fairer’ rather than ‘’harsher’.

    Just been reading that Neville and Beckham were hoping to bring in Challinor to replace Robinson who they sacked yesterday. Takes delusional to a completely new level.

    Agree but in their case much harsher . Reading their forum really opens your eyes . Staff working at the club being on the books of one of his companies ( Vita? ) to start , who just happen to be the shirts/ club commercial sponsor. Another way he underwrites their annual losses? . So yes for them harsher. Fairer for the rest of us 100% .

    Well Beckham is pretty much a billionaire and you only have to listen to Neville on his soapbox to know he is an out of touch clown.

    The Bristol radio fella who tweeted out about interest in their lot today replied "100%" when a City fan asked him if a swap of Hutchinson for Leigh plus a small fee would suit all parties. Fingers crossed the 2s together are making 4.

    Gas fans seem to think Leigh not interested in permanent move - L2 and location. One fan claimed he was saw him in Portugal last week and he said as much.

    Problematic.

    Steve Evans told the local paper down there today that their chairman instructed him to reject latest bids for Hutchinson and Conteh

    I think a snag will be Tommy Leigh dropping to league 2 which isn’t what he wants to do.

    Wouldn't mind it as Hutchinson seems like a good player and can be used in different position. Might not happen if Leigh doesn't want the move into league 2.

    I watched that earlier. He always puts Barnsley top.

    His quality may say otherwise?

    We will just have to pay the asking price if we really want him and ship out Tommy elsewhere.

    I mentioned Wright previously, not a rumour just that he was released and he stood out in both Wigan games . He scored against us and just seemed to be involved in everything. Was in Metcalfe's face a lot in the away game.
    One of them that’s in the ref’s ear a lot .
    Never hurts that.

    I really like the lad, he's knowledgeable and funny but is hysterically delusional when it comes to Barnsley.

    That was our issue this season, our midfield was static. It’s why I was an advocate for a 433 with more bodies in the middle as we were predictable and could only attack out wide, it’s no wonder we had the most crosses in the league, I bet we had the least attacks down the centre. We need a player who can break the lines from deeper on midfield and support the attack.
