Could be exciting times. Brighton and Brentford aren't bad roles models. Remember the former owner's role model was Reading!! Merry Christmas 🎅

It was always likely to happen. Govt can't be surprised. Policy of appeasment until he dies is a bumpy road. What cones next is the scary bit.

Fake news. There's only 1 santa!!

As long as the government stay strong this could be a crisis that is a positive turning point in BBC future. Strengthen independence of BBC board, remove Gibb and frame Trump attack as against people not institution. Remind people good BBC stands for. Get back to journalist values and principles.

If Bernard and Charles hadn't been injured they would probably have gone too for quick cash at a discounted fee.

Maybe but if it eliminates chancers that's good

I think it's irrelevant. Whether swfc go down by 5 points or 30 points, it doesnt matter to new owners. They should have been planning for L1 next season anyway. May help quicken introduction of more young players also.

Maybe. Making decisions is harder and people tend to procrastinate more. Not an excuse.

I think he is as mentally exhausted as most of the players if not more so.

So was I. Horvath would have even been a shocker then.

True. I had. But it's a very low bar.

Agree and we miss his strength as RWB or RCB. Chalobah would have been a solution but...

Agreed. Shea Charles not in midfield is a huge miss. As is Bernard at the back and Windass in 10. Still nothing up front.

Opposing teams set up to expose our weaknesses for the first 2. Players are knackered after 80 mins and no strength from bench. The other parts of game we huff and puff without much penetration. Ironically we often have a good patch right at beginning of game for a few minutes. #swfc

The spine of the team is weak. Gk, CB, DM, 10, 9. No manager would produce results with this. BUT varying tactics would at least give the opposition something different to think about. May help stop us conceding goals in first 10 mins. It might take 20 mins. #swfc

It's lack of squad depth that is the killer. The players are knackered which affects concentration, especially in defensive actions. A few extra bodies would make us competitive. Playing in front of Horvath must be a nightmare. He can't catch. #swfc

Wonderfully written Alex to capture the essence of football's relevance to people and the reboot of our Wednesday. UTO

I was there that night when Ian Knight got done by that Chester player. Promising career ruined in an instant. Hope Ernie recovers well. #swfc
