    No, it was the ever usual conspiracy theory.

    I don't fancy our chances of bringing much in in the January window if we're in the bottom 3 - even if we had £100m to spend. The club feels directionless under the current owner. It has been up for sale for nearly a third of the time he's owned it. If only he was as good at selling football clubs as he is at selling that football club's best players, then he might finally get rid.

    Arguing about semantics now? Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. You sad man.
