Sheffield FC - Belated Birthday Present for Sean?

[Jess]

If anybody wants to buy Sean a belated birthday present feel free - sadly, it's out of my budget!

If I could buy that I might be willing to let him see it (if he asked nicely) - but give it to him?  No frickin' way!

   I'd give it to him (eventually) but he'd have to earn it first.

Hmm.  If I could get the classic male explanation (complete with props - salt & pepper shakers, vinegar bottles, beer bottles, etc) of the offside rule - just to listen to him, mind, not because I need the lesson (shh!) . . .

maybe I'd loan it to him.  Temporarily.  And only if I could be there while he had it.  24/7.

Yes, there is some potential there.

Now, I just need that lottery win!

I'm glad they found a buyer - but it is sad that they had to sell off such a precious asset to stay solvent.  Not a bad final bid though, good for them!

Do we know who get it ?

Anonymous buyer - who knows, maybe Sean did buy it!
