Has anyone checked with Mick? He's sure to know

I was more intrigued by the tweet form Chris Irvine some days ago about respecting an embargo on a story coming out of Odsal etc...

There hasn't been any development since then.

It does seem unfair that supporters are always the last to know,but those who gain free entry to the games obtain the information first.

The Robbie story was embargoed so I think he was referring to that.

It hit the newstands on the 29th but was circulated beforehand. I got a copy with the embargo on the 28th.

Gotcha.Cheers.The wording of the tweet did seem a bit doomsday scenario - I shall put it down to being of a nervous disposition,of late.

Sheffied players have been paid today, got my board money for the month

Good news Rodge!

Yes we can eat well next month now, Keelham Farm shop here we come

Anyone notice the shut down post from Rohan Smith this morning???

"Twitter is great when used for good"... Is this Smith suggesting some funny business going on against us???

Other news, Lance Du Lac has been made redundant. No surprise given he was Jimmy's man. Never saw the benefit of a tactical analysis at this level anyway. Sure he's been a good man but need to start saving the pennys.

Du lac leaving is the sort of announcement that the knobs accusing us of "not cutting our cloth accordingly" will use to try and prove we are about to go bust.

We don't need a video analysis guy at Championship level.

We do need these things, and there is basically zero chance that Smith agrees with you. This just means Smith is doing it instead of someone else.

The club could raise some money by sending some of the match videos to You've Been Framed.

Sounds like an easy way to raise some cash!

No we don't hence the redundancy. It's the job not the person that's redundant.
Unless it's actually just a case of someone not having their contract renewed in which case I apologise.

There's every chance that Rohan has come in and said he prefers to analyse the videos himself, therefore the position is fairly redundant. He could have also said he prefers to handle player recruitment, which cut a chunk out of Ferres' job too.

Without being behind within the club, it's difficult to know if the decision was wholly financially motivated or if it was just a case of tasks being re-assigned for other reasons.

That's so very true Maccbull, but as I guess you already know, firms get round that by just giving the job a new title and hiring someone else for less money or telling an existing member of staff to add it to their list of responsibilities.
