    Further to what was said over the weekend regarding how likely we are to go down the route of signing overseas players.

    Just had a text from my mum, who's just seen Ben Mansford and Paul Heckingbottom in Leeds Bradford Airport this morning.

    It might be that we are forced to look overseas at talents now. We've turned from being a big ish fish in a little pond to nemo in the Atlantic pretty much over night. If the right players are available, I don't mind what neck of the woods they're from. For every Mournir El Haimour, there's an Istvan Ferenczi.

    Maybe but the early morning departures and arrivals from LBA are to/from Spain - Tenerife, Palma, Mahon, Ibiza etc or distant parts of the British Isles - Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Southampton. So either they're going on a cheeky lads break or seeing a Jock, Paddy or Isgrove. Probably that Bannigan coming down from Glasgow?

    Overseas players will be useless when we leave the eu in 2 weeks and they can't get work permits.

    The majority of those are overseas.

    There's no reason for me to think she's lying or anything.

    Not that it matters. It's a trivial point really.
