A question for another thread: which bit of business was best? The Hammond sale or the fact that, incredibly, Swansea actually PAID us for Leon Knight?

Surely both of these fall by the wayside compared to the signing of Paul Horsfield by Nobby Horton in the close season, who we then sold to Hearts/Hibs a couple of weeks later for £130k, despite him never kicking a ball for us.

For the record, the worst I've called bhadeb - conditinally - is a fraud and a fantasist.

I've called others far worse.

How about a PHILATELIST

How about a PHILATELIST

We'll have to stamp that sort of behaviour out.

Arf, arf.

Yeah, but it doesn't get people frothing at the mouth like saying Hammond and Knight were both overrated show ponies who we were well shot of - and we were paid for them! It's like the dustman knocking at your door and giving you £50 every time they empty your bins.

So FINALLY we know the truth, it was all WILKINS fault! Well it took about 200 threads but we got there in the end.

Do you think this thread ought to come with one of those 'Spoiler Alert' messages? Those who've been following the saga as bhadeb battled valiantly not to reveal 'The Truth' might not want to read this thread until they've caught up with all the others.

To be fair to some on here, this scenario has been doing the rounds on here from people who had not spoken to the chairman:


Does Dean Wilkins deserve this treatment? - Page 4 - North Stand Chat

Wilkins - What really went on... - North Stand Chat

SCR Phone In Special - Page 7 - North Stand Chat

Just like a good whodunnit, the potential answer came early on in the story

Bozza and TLO celebrate the OWNING of bhadeb

I listened to this last night but don't recall DK getting shirty with the laydee that asked about Wilkins (although I was half asleep). Why was that bit edited?

By the way love your commentaries Hawsey. Keep up the excellent work.
