WestYorksRoyal Interesting nugget from Lita at Blue Collar last night. Applied for an U23 coaching role and all he got back was an automated response.

Says it all about what this club has become. Ex players don't have a right to walk into these roles, but you'd certainly expect the club to treat any application with respect.

Can't say I'd particularly want Leroy near them.


Not a great attitude as a player, not exactly a strong choice for a role model/coach/leader.

Not the point. Any ex-pro (and esp. former players etc.) should get a personalised response that makes it look like a human has actually received their application, but then thanks to the current owner the club can't afford employ anyone to provide a proper service to people, whether they be ex-pros or fans.

Brogue Stuart Gray has died


RIP Stuart, one of the "magnificent seven". Had limitations but always put in the effort. Only 50, his dad (Eddie I think) is still alive so a really sad time for a football dynasty.

Hound Ince seems to be spending a fair bit of time on the bench at Watford

Still prob proving a useful signing for them, bit of depth


Being offered out on loan now by the looks of things.

In memory of happier times, 11 years ago today Le Fondre scored his late brace against Chelsea.

Seems to have disappeared from Hibs starting and subs line-ups this year.

Injured?

He did his knee at the end of October.

On his way back, though. He played in a friendly against Airdrie today

Michael Olise with a goal and two assists on his return for Palace last night against Sheff United. Been a disrupted season with injuries, if he can shake those off, it seems inevitable a bigger club will come in the summer.

Think Liverpool and Arsenal have already shown interest so could be a great summer for him. Just a shame this club has no sell on clause.

They won't accept $50M from Sheffield United or won't accept from anybody?

Anybody.

Sheff Utd don't have £50 at the moment, let alone £50M!
