Mr Bloke

Hmmm... ... well I suppose it's fortunate really that the bus was travelling on Ecclesall Road. There's some areas of Sheffield where he probably wouldn't have even got off the bus...

Hmmm... ... that would also be my idea of how to deal with it. I don't think a million or two either way would mean much to Mr FFP Dodger anyway - it's more of a pride thing with him (which I can understand) but like you say, he needs to be careful he doesn't put off the 'names'. He's clearly got the moral high ground with the majority of the sensible neutral fans so although it's obviously easier said than done, it's probably better to move on...

Hmmm... ... I'm having a bit of trouble trying to keep up with all these new players. It seems like Mr Wilder has finally cracked the security code to Mr McCabe's credit card...

Hmmm... I don't suppose anyone on here really knows the answer to this but... ... if Wednesday try to stop Mr Bruce starting work at Newcastle because he is still 'officially' under contract to them (because they have not yet agreed compensation), then wouldn't that also legally stop them from finding a new manager themselves until he 'officially' left, otherwise they could be in a position of having 2 managers at the same time? It would be interesting to see how the EFL would handle that one. Oh dear, what a conundrum...

Hmmm... ... so let's just think this one through. Wednesday would have lost their manager and also wouldn't be due to receive any compensation. Yep... that sounds really wonderful to me!

Hmmm... ... I think that gets you a yellow card for a reckless chuckle Mr Padders!

Hmmm... ... I wouldn't be surprised if Mr FFP Dodger goes for yet another 'unknown' foreign manager who is desperate to manage in England - maybe even a Thai manager if he's looking for a bit more loyalty than he's recently been shown (remember you heard it here first!). Why do I think this? Well Mr Hughton has reportedly said that he wants to get back into football management but 'Wednesday is not the right club or the right time'. I suspect many 'names' will feel the same with all the negative publicity the club has been recently getting, and many may wonder what's really happening behind the scenes to make a man who appeared to be very well liked by the fans decide to leave and go to a club where fans say he is not wanted. It does make you think there's a bit more to it than just wanting to manage his home club. So, in my opinion(fwiw) it's going to be a case of who they'll be able to get, rather than who they want to get...

Hmmm... At a risk of stating the obvious but... ... are you sure you've replace the fuel filler cap correctly? If not the tank could be being vented to the atmosphere which could trigger the check engine light. Disclaimer: Advice given solely as a DIY mechanic!

Hmmm... But looking on the bright side... ... that's next season's excuse for failing to get promoted already sorted!

Hmmm... ... that sounds like a brilliant idea Mr Padders. We could get all the little oiks who like defacing other people's property with their aerosol cans on the job, and if we could get one of the forum boffins to suggest some sort of bacteriological acceleration agent that could be added to the paint then we could become the UK's first city to have fully biodegradable doggy poop! I can see the banners on the Town Hall now... ... Sheffield - City of Sanitary.

Hmmm... ... I'm flattered that you seem to think that I might know the answers to these questions Mr Top, but unfortunately I know as little as everyone else on here. I only popped in to try to help explain what might have happened and to give both Mr FFP Dodger and Mr Bruce the benefit of the doubt which many Wednesday 'fans' seem unable to do. I'll probably not bother next time...

Hmmm... ... this could turn out to be a bit harsh. If Mr FFP Dodger is the thoroughly decent sort that we all believe he is, then it's possible that after giving Mr Bruce permission to talk to Newcastle, they both (however reluctantly) agreed to Mr Bruce doing a runner providing Mr FFP Dodger was adequately compensated - otherwise things would stay as they were. It could be just the Wednesday fans that are getting the wrong end of the stick (surely not) and overreacting to a situation that both Mr FFP Dodger and Mr Bruce are perfectly happy with... ... or maybe not.

Hmmm... Especially, I would imagine, someone who made their fortune out of processing fish...

Hmmm... ... well isn't that just typical of the priviledged lives modern day footy players lead? Anyone else found playing golf in town would have no doubt been arrested straight away...

Hmmm... ... I think I read somewhere that West Ham are interested, so my guess is that's where he'll go.
