The big issue as the other poster suggests is who plays in goal during mid December as I assume Nicholls won't be able to sign for us until 1 Jan? Surely Puddy would be back from injury by then and able to fill in for a few games? You'd hope so, anyway. Expect so but I thought someone said he had a setback? Either way it is going to have to be Mildy or Puddy I guess. Just hope they are int he right frame of mind.

By the sounds of the post article DC is having a good look at him as a potential permanent signing. Assuming his loan deal goes well I assume DC will try and sign him in January? Very slim chance of that. Still rated at Wigan.....

Whilst Nicolls sound a good signing I assume he's just a stop gap until Puddy recovers? Whihc is a worry as I doubt a fit Puddy is that good.

Wigan are finally back down at their own level. A club that can't sell out a 25,000 seater stadium every week in the Premier League shouldn't be there!

No one has stated they want us to sign Logan, just that he was better than our next permanent goalkeeper. For what it's worth, I think you have your keepers mixed up as I don't think Logan made a single blooper/howler whilst with Rochdale. "Better than our next permanent goalkeeper", how would some on here come to that conclusion, unless there talking about Nichols? Definately not got my keepers mixed up, the football league show last season was a regular watch for me, a break from the non league stuff we were involved in. As I said, all keepers make bloopers its a fact, so Logan is definately not adverse to the odd error, after all he has hardly set the football world alight withn his exploits over the last decade and more. I was talking about the past. Loans like Andersen and Logan were better than our (then) next permanent goalkeeper Bevan. No one would know that then, but looking back [which is what I and the post I replied too was doing], I can say that.

Why do posters suggest that the football pyramid from top to bottom should be based solely on home attendences and not how well a club is run/financed along with a bit of luck? I say fiar play to the likes of Bournmouth getting to the Premiership.

I say fiar play to the likes of Bournmouth getting to the Premiership. I agree with the sentiment, but Bournemouth aren't really well run/financed. Owned by a Russian millionaire and lost £10m in 2013-14 and £15m the year before. God forbid what those figures will be for 14/15 and then again this year.

Hence why I put run/financed and not well run & financed, as it seems the only way a small club can now gate crash the big club Premiership monopoly is have somebody finance the club.
Back on subject where does this leave Chapman, will he play in his final loan game tomorrow or has he already returned to Chesterfield?

I feel mixed about Bournemouth and such rich minnows. Small clubs doing well in the FA Cup are great, but simply pouring millions into clubs to attract a higher level of players than they can normally afford feels a bit like a billionaire's toy rather than a football club. If the support isn't there to justify Premiership football, I sometimes think it's just another case of big money denying a more deserving club their place.
It's a bit like the organiser's daughter winning the beauty contest.

Both Manchester clubs plus Chelsea are hardly self financing thr £50m+ plus transfer fees they are presently paying?
Perhaps the Premiership will self implode like the bank and oil industry have, we'll then go back to club's being run as a business not a rich man's play thing, as they seemed to be before Sky money ruined it all.

Not sure about that. Have you seen how much Adidas are paying Man Utd to make their shirts?

It's all part of the sponsorship madness since Sky got involved. The Premiership is just like a foreigners circus, it's becoming irrelevant to the rest of the English game. Foreign owners, foreign sponsorship and, mostly, foreign players.

Foreign owners, foreign sponsorship and, mostly, foreign players. Noticed some prem fans Tweeting about how awful the standard of football was in our match v Oxford on Sunday. They were surprised to learn how low the wages are in League Two. The old model of moving up the league ladder is long gone, with a revolving door from Championship to Premiership for the lucky few who buck the trend, or find a billionaire.

That's odd as Ollie was saying the opposite about the standard of football, whilst it wasn't the best it was decent for Div 2. Although perhaps if the Premiership sent some more of their money down to grass roots football it would improve!
