    Just watched and interview on .co.uk with Danny Simpson.

    When asked why he changed numbers he said that the board had something in mind for the number 12.

    New signing? or are they retiring it for the fans?

    Apologies if it's already been posted.

    Why would they retire the number 12? Might as well retire the number 9 while they're at it.

    It was just a guess, some clubs have done it as a mark of respect for fans (Portsmouth is one that springs to mind).

    No doubt it's being saved for Mike Ashley's chins.

    True, never thought of the fan aspect.
    Wouldn't be surprised if it's something corny like that as a crap attempt to appease the majority.

    Possibly for Pieters/Cissokho/Maiga, who wants that number. Can someone who can be bothered check Wiki for what numbers they have now?

    Again, just a corny way to silence a few people, probably accompanied with discounts and other crap for members no doubt.

    We'll take £35m out of your club, and give you shirt number as a little way of saying thank you.

    Kadar wasn't given a number, maybe they got plans for him?

    Just speculation.
