But surely Ted and his canny BoD will know all about the sublime skills of Horne.

Yes indeed, they know Horne is their #1 target and are sure to persue him to the ends of the Earth.

And let's face it, when Ted wants something he gets it. Just ask Marie, his own PA in the suit section at the Owlecoates M&S in Pudsey...

Were you MISQUOTED when you said that Brett Hodgson has had to retire through injury?

Latest word on the street and spreading like a bricklayers fart in a crowded canteen is that Wakefield are releasing Brough early as they have Cooke coming in and that the net saving in wages they will get seeing as Rovers are paying a large chunk of Cooke's salary will be enough to keep the wolf from their door in tax terms for a while. This suits Wakey as they're short of the old moolah and whilst not ideal for us we're possibly going to help out Wakefiled in this regard as a gesture of good will.

Another rumour, and this one is going down like a fart in a spacesuit round this end, is that Brough is actually bankrupt because he erroneously signed up for eyebrow overhang reduction and rhinoplasty on standing order and it is this standing order that forced him over the edge financially.

Feel free to quote those rumours elsewhere. They're 254% FACT™.

Perhaps it's Brad - whom I hear is desperate to leave the club he loves and play for John again......

[Might, just [imight[/i, have misheard what was said to me!!]

Wouldn't that actually float around and get everywhere inside the suit?

[Coat time.]

I'm getting into this rumour business!

Word on the street says it's the new black. Black is now going to taupe and taupe is to be replaced by a fern type colour with a signing on fee thought to be ~£80k.

No - I took exception to someone not quoting the source of the rumour. Which wasn't me.

Where does that leave Brown?

Exactly!

Word on the street is that Kev will become Kyle and Nathan will go back to his roots and become George.

Equally it's also been said Kev could become Light and Nathan Dark or even Golden. Who knows.

from what i hear no one is going the other way

I thought we were up to cap on salaries? I would expect to lose a player or two on loan.

What is really happening

You've got to hand it to Wakey. They certainly know how to turn a frown upside down.

Due to Wakey's lack of grunt up front I hear it'll be a straight swap. Danny Brough for Paul Anderson
