    I hope they have a good night's sleep tonight. Not the tossing, turning stomach churning type of sleep that I had last night. And probably tonight too. It just keeps getting worse as new revelations keep coming out.

    No. I genuinely hardly slept last night. That's how much all this means to me.

    I apologise then mate. I haven't stressed like that over Barnsley for a good few years.

    Me neither. I've been a fan for 51 years. I thought I'd seen it all over that time. I had, until yesterday lunchtime.

    No they are done.
    They lied to the fanbase and they have disrespected them after stripping the only assets they had available to them. They are done with the club and the town even if they are too arrogant to realise it.

    Not promoted, and bankrupted, with the help of Kevin Richardson, Mike Sheron, Geoff Thomas and Robin Van De Laan.

    And ITV Digital. Admin came 2 years after we were a kick away from promotion back which 3 of those played a decent part in. ITV don't go bust, neither do we.

    Playing devil’s advocate, isn’t it then wise of the current setup to always keep us financially sound in case such as that kind of issue raises its ugly head?

    And exactly who is going to do what to whom? The consortium owns the club. For God's sale Patrick Cryne struggled for a while to get a buyer. Brad Potts, Kiefer Moore, Pinnock. Lindsey all left of their own accord. The board did not replace them with expensive journeymen - and they may have been mistaken. Let's put the rose-tinted spectacles about Daniel Stendel to one side. He seemed a likeable chap from a distance. He might have had a tough task doing anything with the youngsters we have - but there seemed to be only one plan - the high press, high tempo game. Fulham hadn't done their homework on us and it came as a surprise. Since then the other teams have worked us out. Saturday's line up at Preston was asking for trouble. We have three players who have played in the Championship - Pinillos, Thiem and Cavaré - the latter two were not on the bench. Andersen should have started at centre half. Whatever Toby Sibbick is, he is not a centre half. We sneaked an equaliser just before half time. Why did we then go gung ho and kamikaze after the break leaving great holes in the defence to be picked apart? Well Daniel should take some responsibility for that - it's been obvious he hasn't liked the policy of signing young players and has not seen eye to eye with the recruitment policy - and if he gets the Sunderland job, what will the "fanbase" (which is made up of a lot of individuals with differing opinions - so don't presume to speak for all supporters) think about that. Over-reaction and hysteria. A few dummies spat out....

    I signed up with sky for a year. When I decided I couldn't be arsed with them after 4 months I asked them if I could leave. They politely explained that I had signed a legally binding contract with them.

    If you lose sleep over this then I'm really, really worried for you.

    I'll survive, but I'm still gutted. I'm really surprised that there are Reds fans who can just take it all in their stride. I wish I could, but I can't.

    Absolutely. You can stay financially sound and still allow someone over 25 to play in your team.
