I might be wrong but wasn’t it Billy & Ryan Mason who Dunk assaulted in that game which pretty much destroyed our season??!!

You may well be right and there were two casualties, both of which seriously weakened us.

Sharp and Hayter both stretchered off in that game. Ryan Mason got crocked in the very next home match the following Tuesday.

Thanks DBR - I thought I'd got it right originally. Mason eliminated shortly afterwards took vital elements of the team out, but still the Board effectively blamed SOD. Its a pity that the millions which people now reveal went on paying McKay's Stock on Hand wasn't made available to SOD. I had not realised that the McKay players were being supported financially by our Board. It was hardly an arrangement that you would have expected seemingly experienced businessmen to agree to.

I do believe, though I do not know for sure, that this is exactly why Messrs Bramall and Watson withdrew their financial support at one point - to show John he couldn't take them for granted, and, to express their disagreement - presumably after failing to persuade John to do otherwise.

I think they were Ambushed, seem to recall JR quoting a Patty £2 million when in fact it was a Paltry £14 Million! When they cottoned on they jumped ship!

Hadn't we lost something like 19 in a row including previous season when S O'D got the bullet?

In football, Hound, throwing massive amounts of money around in the hope of getting promotion or in that case avoiding relegation is not investing as you well know... it's gambling.

Rovers invest.

TLT saves.

I think it was something like 6 points from a possible 48.
