    More impressive and classy work from our esteemed DoF:

    "Toon director of football Kinnear raved to City chiefs about midfielder Shane Ferguson during the club’s Capital One Cup tie against Swansea in September. But when he asked about signing him, Brum bosses thought he was winding them up – because Ferguson is on loan at St Andrews from Newcastle until the end of the season.

    "A City source told Sunday People Sport: “Ferguson had a particularly good game that night and Joe Kinnear told one of our officials he was interested in signing him."

    “At first our guy thought he was joking but then he realised Kinnear did not know Ferguson was already a Newcastle player.”"

    I thought this was debunked a while ago?

    What worries me most about this is that Kinnear was trying to sign a player based off one good game - I'd hoped our scouting system was a tad more comprehensive than that...

    Old news but I suspect we may be seeing some old stories rehashed over the next few weeks <whistle>

    JK is a loon

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Hacky Sack again.

    I'll keep trying.

    I heard that it was during one of his frequent 'crank' calls to Sir Alex he asked about Shane.

    It was then he was told the lad was already registered to NUFC and that he very definitely was not Ferguson's son...
