A pint to the person who comes up with the most ludicrous reason for not signing Ward

He went to do some heading practice, in Louth...

.. and accidently cracked his head, on summat.

 

It's linked to the European Union. As Ireland rejected the Lisbon Treaty moves are afoot to kick them out of the E.U. When that happens the status of Irish Players alters and they in fact become foreigners. So Ward would in fact be classed as a foreigner. With the F.A. in their infinite wisdom about to decree that there will be alimit of 'foreign' players in each team it maks sense for B.F.C. not to sign the Irishman.

 

Simon has advanced dyslexia...

...which means means he often see's people's names as anagrams. While looking for another diminutive figure to add to the squad Simon swiftly pulled out of the deal when he was alerted to the fact that Ward had no "F" in it by one of his senior coaching staff.

Speaking on Radio Sheffield Simon had this to say: "We would have been overjoyed to bring Dwarf to the club but in the end his name demands were too short.
The deal is dead in the water now. We have other irons in the fire."

Footballrumours.com speculates that a deal for 6,6" Norway striker Tor Shares could go ahead but the club are talking to his agent, fromer player Craig Short, about reducing Tor's height by over a foot.
Davey is also said to be interested in bringing former Reds star Darren "Stumpy" Sheridan back to the club but is worried his sirname is not an "short anagram" - and that he may have had a late growth spurt.

 

we already have our quota of english players in the squad

Were waiting for Verne Troyer to come out of the BB house...
