Billy Sharp, I saw the rumour on twitter too (season long loan). Must be made up though, is he from there or something? I'll be backing him as top scorer if its true though, easy money!
Isn't James Beattie their new manager? Sharp must be very, very good mates with him. That's all I can think of..
Sharp tweeted a picture of him shaking Beattie's hand (I didn't know he'd become a manager) and saying a season long loan deal to Stanley was done. Beattie is his mate it seems. A coup for them. EDIT - I have no evidence, but I think this is a joke too. I think Beattie's being a right **** if he's in on it. Stanley fans would be getting real excited...for nowt!
I'm staggered by this signing. There's a small core of 'Stanley' fans based in Hull (in the National Pub) they'll be pleased then!
