    cannot take credit for that as I saw Border Terrier call him that, just thought it was brill. But its a fabulous appointment, perhaps we may not get screwed over in the transfer market now.

    Whitey had Chairman Mo, which was funny. I'm not overly excited about this, having spoken to a couple of people about it last night.

    I'm not sure that all the Chinese tourists visiting Barnsley to see Hudson Taylor's birthplace will be flocking to Oakwell if we insist on nicknaming our new Chairman that...

    That's it. We need to build on the FACT that Hudson Taylor was a HUGE Barnsley fan and was gutted when he was dispatched to the Chinese Missionary. However, he did made sure he had the Chron sent to him every week so that he could keep abreast of all things Oakwell.

    It doesn't really work because they're not even pronounced the same.

    "The Hudson Taylor Memorial Stadium" does have a certain ring about it.
