Bring your boots (someone's filling theirs)

Great article in the Guardian today by David Conn regarding Hammam and money. His money, City's money, and various other people's money. Ridsdale is clearly playing with other people's money. Of course he's done this before and landed Leeds with £95m worth of debt. I can't pretend to understand all the financing stuff that's going on, but it doesn't look like there's going to be much money around in January to strengthen the squad.

Which we need to do. McPhail suspended. Loovens injured, Thomson injured and out for a month, Gilbert now out for 6 weeks. And Chambers goes back to Watford after Saturday's important home tie against (spit) Burnley. It's getting to the point where the old joke about if you bring your boots to Ninian Park you might get a game might come true. Although of course nothing seems to want to make Jones pick Ferretti. I have heard that this is because he doesn't like players who "Scream when they are tackled". Better than someone who says: "never mind then mate, off you go" I would have thought.
