Iffy Ofoegbu and Charlie Wakefield have been exiled to Sheffield FC, a place from which no footballer has ever returned intact.
Sheffield only lost 4-0 to Marske on Saturday. (Hands up those who know where that is.) So Charlie and Iffy should be able to get through some running with them.
We could get Mourinho and Guardiola in as a joint management team and we'd still be loaning young players out to Sheffield FC and Matlock, and a few months later regretting that it was unfortunately time to wave goodbye. Talk about same old same old .........
Crooked spire, bent board and the slowest goodbye in football.

Marske is up Middlesbrough way I think and was also proviso on this birthplace of Derbyshire fast bowler Alan Ward
Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?

It`s on the North Sea coast, just above Redcar. It`s where Paul Daniels was born - I think.
I always thought Alan Ward was born in Dronnie, a few hundred yards from the Yorkshire border, and that was why he couldn`t play for them back in the day. Maybe I`m wrong.

Certainly Ward used to play for (his dad's?) Works cricket team in Dronfield. As a 15 year old he roared in and bowled at a player called Colin Cooke who had been a pro' footballer and had a wonderful eye. Colin plonked him for six after six and Alan Ward ....... he actually burst into tears ...... oh dear. Dronfield Prestwich I think that was the name of the team.
Anyway I knew very very roughly where Marske was ..... on the coast 'cos they're known as Seasiders I think and in the North East somewhere, because I think they used to play in the Northern League. I've never been though .......
Anyway that would've qualified Wardy for Yorkshire - now that would have given him something to cry about.

Paul Jarvis played for Yorkshire. Does that qualify as cricket?
Do you remember when mothers used to say, "If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry about ......" They never said it at funerals though.
