Black ('n' White) Sheep

Surely it gets to the stage where it doesn't matter if another party offers less and we just take it (and associated deductions etc.)? It's looking pretty obvious that CK and MM are never going to agree at this stage... I just want a club to support next season!

I’ll say it again, remember when Mel promised the stadium “would not hold up any takeover”… the man’s a scumbag, absolute scumbag

Today, Mel Morris had within his gift one final gesture of goodwill to our club, that would have let us celebrate our survival together in our home with a new owner.
Instead, he chose for whatever reason to deny us this final solace, in what has been our toughest season for many decades.
I've always tried to understand the difficulties he has faced, the money he poured into the club, the intransigence of the EFL, the outside factors at play.
But my patience has worn thin lately, and today it has snapped altogether.
You've lost the club, Mel, you've lost our club. You've lost all respect, you've lost our respect. 
No matter what you do from this point forward you will never redeem yourself in my eyes.
 

I think it's actually only 2-0. Their second goal got chalked off, but Preston scored so soon after it that the scoreboard hasn't even updated yet.

I'm usually the last to wish ill on anyone... but (if true) I hope Mel Morris suffers a slow, painful demise. It seems to be completely in his hands and he seems to be willing to let the club go to the wall for the sake of his own ego. What a complete a*se. ?

Just love this. 
From that night's squad Cashin, Sibley, Knight, Buchanan, Thompson and Bird ? regular starters for us, Whittaker and Jordan Brown forging decent careers elsewhere in the EFL. 
Tyree Wilson (still with us) and Archie Brown plagued by injury.
Alex Matthews now starting for under 23s.
It's a tremendous return, really and our academy has been  a shining light and beacon of hope for our future through these tough times.
Take a bow, Justin Walker! ???
 

That would be my guess

Not quite sure on formation with that line-up... my guess:
                    Allsop
Knight  Davies  Cashin  Forsyth
            Bird  Thompson
    Ebiowei  Morrison  Sibley
                 Lawrence
COYR! Let's make this an occasion to remember ?
 

Pretty sure I can guess what the 'A' stands for...

Did you have owt to do with the “Mandy from Spondon” photoshoot that appeared in Razzle reader’s wives Summer Edition circa 1998? 
 
I loved that Purple Puma EDS kit. 

He sounds confident.... 

I agree with that, not being harsh but if you deffo aint here next season then you aint playing.

I would have preferred McDonald got a game at RB instead of Ebosele

If they do fkin bounce
If they do fkin bounce we are fked

11 days to go until they bounce and we get liquidated

If you do the minimal amount of research you will see there are plenty in League 1 at the minute... look at Wigan's team, Republic of Ireland, James McClean, Northern Ireland, Josh Magennis, Zimbabwe, Darikwa, Jamaica, Curtis Tilt, and more, Will Keane only made his debut in the last year.
Even Burton have an Algerian international....
Remember that Bielik was at Charlton in league 1 before he came to us, budding internationals are u21 players,  what better way to develop than spend a season playing regularly, league 1 or championship makes little difference 

Promotion from League One? Piece of piss - I’ve already done it (on FM22)…

From my very subjective research at the Supporters Club event last night, ? I think Lawrence, Ebiowei, Knight will go, possibly Sibley - seems genuinely upset he is not getting more pitch time. Kazim already gone in his head, didn't even bother to do the meet and greet bit of the evening. Whereas Plange and Ebosele really enjoyed themselves! 
Morrison struggled to cope with being in a room with us all but seemed to appreciate the love.
Bielik is either a good liar or definitely wants to stay. He is such a good conversationalist, as are Ryan Allsop and Nathan Byrne - he seems keen to stay too, says he loves it here, but will surely get offers from Championship clubs.
All the rest of the young lads seem to want to stay, they love us fans. Let's see if they change their minds when the offers come in.
Cybulski was so excited to start but knew he needs to improve, says he wants to stay his whole career, which will no doubt thrill you cynics over in the matchday thread. ?
Wayne did comment in one of his speeches (he made several) that we need to be patient over the next couple of games as he will continue to be looking at potential within the squad for next season.  He didn't sound like he was going anywhere. ?
