Sheridan1-0   413 #25 Posted July 1, 2014 :hihi:for sure, but the season is 6 weeks away! And the Owls have not got a starting 11 4 players have not signed their contracts and the potential buyer has a credit rating lower than a snakes belly  If the situation is still the same in say 5.1/2 weeks then maybe its time to panic...  and our new owner is very very very wealthy:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
