    Everyone harps on about the last 18 months being best ever. However, the last six of that have been particularly crap. Cast your minds back to first six months of the 10/11 season and a young Hammill tearing at defenders backed up by Jason Shackell and Mcevelly in defence with a budding Butterfield. What happened next? Then 11/12 Butterfield, Vaz Te, Drinkwater, Davies and the team broken up after a total demolition of Leeds on New Years Eve. Then onto last season. That doesn't need any reprise. The problems remain the same and they start higher up than Heckingbottom. Where this differs though is the 2010/11 team was built by Robins the 2011/12 was built by Hill. The 2016/17 team was built by Lee Johnson and Danny Wilson. The 2017/18 team was built by Paul Heckingbottom. No one else has had Championship money to spend on consecutative seasons which is more than the previous incumbents can boast. (Hill being an exception as he had to work under ffp two years early walking a tightrope with two broken legs). Even though his personality alone made me glad to see Mr Cryne present him his p45.

    We cant be taken over quick enough.

    That is the main reason why I went off Keef, it was his somewhat ignorant attitude and those comments about the tightrope were just pathetic weren't they. I/we couldn't say that he would've been a much better manager if he didn't have the Ffp forced on him, but that subject does cross my mind the more I think about it.
    As for the proposed takeover Ponty, I really don't know whether this will be a good thing or not, but I know its got to happen of course because of Mr.Cryne's ill health.
