    Alot of folk looking into the Bradford connection - reality is he was in Leeds Academy and is a Leeds fan. His brother Marcus is Leeds born and bred.

    They will soon find themselves in hot water with that kind of business plan. Unless they are dealing with dodgy payday lenders

    I've looked into this a little more. Leicester was strapped for cash last year despite their owner's enormous wealth. The club knew they'd have 2 years of parachute payments so took out a loan with Macquaries to see them through using the second year's parachute as collateral. I can understand why Maguire likened it to a payday loan in a jokey way. It seems like it was a bit of a gamble that they'd quickly return to the PL and could pay off the Macquaries loan! That of course failed and it's ironic that the points deduction they received was for exceeding the losses allowed under the EFL's own PSR regime! Worrying times for Leicester fans.

    Lower tiers are saying that Grimsby, Rotherham and Chesterfield are looking at Andy Cook this summer

    Cant see past The Mariners, even more so with Jimmy and Prince Charles there....he will score 15+ next season, even at 36.

    Doncaster have already announced their retained list. Our old pal Gibson wont be scoring against us for Donny again, he's been let go.

    Chansari is the issue
    My neighbour is an accountant and Sheff Weds fan, who has done some work for the supporters board around the issues
    Non of the potential investors are willing to give him the 25p in the pound and he is not willing to drop his claim
    On a side note my neighbour has got season tickets for himself and his daughter at VP next season
    Said he would rather watch a progressive club

    Definitely against us if Grimsby go up and we stay down. You know how he loves a goal or two against his old clubs.....

    Dunno if he's out of contract, but Joe Edwards the Plymouth captain has sold his house their fans say and is moving back to Bristol, apparently joining Rovers in Steve Evans rebuild.

    Plymouth fans also fairly certain they are trying to bring Kieffer Moore in. He's moving to the area this summer to have one more move before retiring and they seem certain a deal is in the works. Huddersfield fans also all seemingly think they have a deal ready for Keillor-Dunn

    He might want to change his mind now the takeover has been done and no points deduction confirmed. Also you need to have a word with your neighbour… changing clubs through the bad times is awful behaviour.

    His daughter who is 11 has got right into City
    Sheffield is not a million miles away from Bradford
    But I think all the years of travelling on match day has done him in, especially night games
    At least he hasn’t turned up at Elland road

    No surprise. He’s a bang average League Two winger. Just raised his game against us every time so gave a false impression on his abilities

    He’s not even bang average. Ask McCann who has released him from a bang average L1 side ?
