Andy phoning in from his anger management classes

There isn’t one at least in the edition I’ve seen

Labbadia

Someone needs to show DC that recent interview with Bannan where he said Pulis was the worst possible manager for his style of play and how he dropped him at Palace

He is

He does freelance scouting all the time. Probably there watching Joao for one of the clubs supposedly interested

Surprised not to see Bruno Labbadia mentioned - very good coach who was linked with us last time and was close to be appointed at WBA before they opted for Bilic at the last minute

Apparently there was more activity logged at Companies House yesterday involving SWFC Holdings, Sheffield 2, 3, 4, 5 etc Can't claim to understand what it is though. Any experts?

Don’t know if he was in the park but he was definitely at the VIP breakfast thing earlier

Looks like he has definitely signed - three year contract. From German interview... Julian Börner is curious. For him, a whole new chapter is about to begin: On July 1, training will be on Sheffield Wednesday. Arminia's captain of the past season has signed a three-year contract with the English second division club. Until the departure there are still some things to do. Next week the moving van comes. The Börners - Julian, his wife Kristina and daughter Emma - give up their luggage, but by no means everything else in the Bielefeld home. Your house will be sublet, a part they will continue to use when it comes to a short break home. The city on Teuto will later remain the center of life. That's how it's planned. "When the little one comes to elementary school, we want to be back," says Börner, who has not come to terms with a return to the DSC, even though coach Uwe Neuhaus and sports director Samir Arabi were very angry that the 28- Year old in spite of oral commitment umendschied. A childhood dream comes true "I definitely have not made it easy and can understand the trouble. But it has always been a childhood dream of mine to play in England. "Two years ago he had already received a concrete offer from England under the impressions of the birth of his daughter and the spectacular last year's relegation in Dresden He gave priority to Arminia. "Now suddenly this economically interesting offer came in. I flew over, talked to those responsible, completed the medical check-up and signed it," explains Börner. Also for his wife fit the arrangement. She will continue to do her part-time job remotely and work on her doctorate. "It's just the perfect time," Börner said, and he has received encouragement from the team and his friends, and even DSC officials have congratulated him on the opportunity. Börner becomes the first German in the history of Sheffield Wednesday (founded in 1867). The traditional club was already English champion. "I'm really up for it and I'm curious to see how I react to the new environment," he says.Another language, significantly more competitive games and new teammates await him. "I'll have to work my way up a new standing," Börner says about the challenge he likes to accept.

The series also has an interview with Simon Donnelly in which he briefly mentions his time here - 45min in

We want £7m for Rhodes and that has cooled interest from Norwich

I'm delighted to see him back but would not be rushing into handing him a new deal. Needs to be fully assessed throughout pre-season before a decision is made, assuming Bruce rates him. As an out of contract player there is no transfer deadline rush either Players out for so long aren't guaranteed to come back the same - look at Alan Judge, £10m rated player before his injury, came back but ended up moving Brentford to Ipswich for a nominal fee

The squad needs massive trimming. This picture sums it up - they've had to reduce the font size to fit it on the back of the programme

There are more people in the directors box than there are on match days. Who are they all? Geoff Sheard and his extended family?
