Sunderland reminding me of us the season we went down, we started to sort the shite before our first season down here though, they're not. Wouldn't be surprised at a double relegation from them.

They hired a manager more suited to this division than yourselves though. I know Di Matteo has got promoted out of this league, but I consider Grayson to be a safer pair of hands, a bit like Allardyce/Pulis in the Prem.

I think they may stay down here for longer than Villa though, as they don't have the finances to match. A longer rebuilding period.

Eh, we splashed out last season, we're going to make a profit this. We built most of our promotion squad last season and added a couple this.

Sunderland won't go down under Grayson but I also don't think they'll get promoted under him.

I expect him to stabilise them and then probably get binned off within in a season or two.

Feel I should add that I'm not an arrogant fuck... I meant we built most of our squad for an assault at promotion last season. Reading that back sounds like I think we'll walk it.

Apparently Ian Cathro is joining our backroom staff. Don't think he did much up in Scotland mind.

Worked with your manager in a previous role I think?

Consortium led by Chinese billionaire Chien Lee apparently in advanced talks to take over Barnsley. The same group who have an 80% stake in Nice.

Patrick Cryne is in ill health at the moment and there has been rumours flying around Oakwell for a while now.

Can't say I'm enthusiastic at the prospect.

Lee Tomlin has been charged with GBH, Warnock is never going to have a side that isn't labelled as dirty is he?

But... You're not in the West Mids, we're the only ones allowed Chinese owners.

Speaking of which, Walsall need to get their arses in gear and get themselves a Chinese billionaire.

We did well to get £2.9m with that hanging over him

You didn't even get £2 million for him mate. But having said that with the charge on his head any money was good really.
Media our end were saying we got most of (if not all) the money we paid for him back, so either you paid the £2.9m or we paid less than the fee reported at the time.

Suppose it depends who you want to believe, I'll go with Warnock and our chairman on this one.

To be fair if he was speaking about any other club I may believe him, but when it come to us I don't believe a single word that Warnock says.

Reading v Barnsley on 12 September postponed because of a waterlogged pitch for Grimsby v Derby earlier in the season...

In his defence its not very often he makes a mistake at all, although that was a big one last night

Our game vs Cardiff has now been moved for the third time.

It's now back onto the Saturday and is a midday kickoff, as the police won't provide the officers, despite an agreement being in place.

Utter shambles. Neither club could have done anymore to try and make the night game work. Think the SWP need to take a trip over and teach Avon & Somerset how to do their jobs...
