To something even more ridiculous...

I dont think they have, but I could be wrong.

No I think you're right. I could have sworn they changed the name after some club chairman or something.
Possibly mistaken for another club.

Edit: found it! It's Wigan

Sorry Bulldog, but what's with DW?

If he builds the stadium up to a 95,000 capacity, like he says he will...he can call it what he likes.

At least we own the stadium, unlike City's ground...known locally as "the council house".

Heard that this morning. To think that if it weren't for a dodgy goal he probably would've guided us to winning the world cup 19 years ago as well.

RIP

He'll be missed

Absolutely. It doesnt matter who you support around these parts today, be it Newcastle, Sunderland, 'Boro or any North East team for that matter.

Sad day for English football. Lovely man and a great manager. Sadly, English football doesn't seem to produce English managers of that quality anymore.
Seems we rely far too much on foreigners.

It's easy to be typically sycophantic at times like these but he was a true gentleman and the epitome of an English Gentleman. RIP.
