Well if you missed his tricks maybe to the naked eye he seemed like an average player. Easy mistake to make so you're forgiven.

He was good in all the games I saw him play in. He stood out like a little shining beacon, which may have been due to the vast amounts of fake tan he was wearing, but he was also busy, kept possesion well and was clever with his distibution. Reading have players like this already ........ and we have Nick Montgomery!! Which is why I think Carle would have been a good signing for us!! Well if you missed his tricks maybe to the naked eye he seemed like an average player. Easy mistake to make so you're forgiven.

I think we may well lose quite a few players. And as I'm sure you're aware Reading FC don't spend money...............it goes against policy. Our bank balance is wonderful and is likely to stay that way at the expense of the football team.

Our bank balance is wonderful and is likely to stay that way at the expense of the football team. I think our focus is on making money and keeping it as well. We've diversified into several other areas, the main one being property investment ( ... as that's a really good place to put money at the moment ). We've bought a couple of football clubs and forged links with 4 others. However we don't seem to be overly bothered about investing in the team. Our chairman harps on about showing ambition by signing Beattie last summer, but we actually traded at a large profit (again!!) in the transfer market last year. They're obviously hoping (still) that we get a sizable amount of money out of West Ham ......... which we won't!!. I'd just like to see us focus on what important to our fans, which is building the best playing side we can for Sheffield United

It makes me so cross because our clubs are first and foremost Football Clubs..............not fucking multi faceted business organisations! The priorities are completely misplaced and make supporting a team a bloody farce! FFS I don't care about our new £2.5m media centre at the stadium, or the 5 star hotel built on the side! Guess what our mega store is currently being doubled in size!!! This will all mean fuck all once we lose the ability to get promoted again!

I don't care if Ferencvaros is the largest football club in the carpathian basin. I don't care about the hotel they're grafting onto the ground or the fitness centres or other properties we own. The links to other clubs only become useful if we get decent players from them. All I'm interested in how the team plays, and whether we have the right people for us to get good results and play well ..... as are most football fans!!

Well we're looking at two midfielders Cork from Scunthorpe and Jimmy Smith from Chelsea. No big name signings for the Owls.

But you'd expect that from a small club like Wendy. But us........................we expect and demand more!

I think with everything else going on, we might pull the plug on the 'footballing in Sheffield' side of our business. As it's the one that the least seems to happen with, and our chairman seems least interested in!!
