Found myself having a few minutes spare and so I have extracted the twitter Questions and Answers.
I hope I haven’t missed anything with the three posts.Questions and Answers (first to last) for those that don’t do twitter. Judging by some of the questions and comments … I am suprised David Sharpe does… ouch

Q. Have you got any plans to help try get to that 100 point target?
A. There’s a big difference between ‘want’ and ‘will’, who wouldn’t want their football club to dominate the league?
Any owner, manager or fan would ‘want’ their club to get 100 points.
The target has always been promotion, and I will never regret being ambitious.Q. Given the option would you rather be on Celebrity Big Brother, I’m a Celebrity or Strictly Come Dancing?
A. It’s not really my sort of thing, but if anything, the jungle with Jimmy Bullard!Q. Which player has impressed you most so far this season?

A. Definitely, I’ve been in with the away fans a lot before supporters recognised me.Q. What happened with the Jermaine Pennant contract?
A. I offered him a deal which he turned down in May. I then got a phone call from his agent when I was in Scotland. He asked if a deal was still on the table, but we had just signed Michael Jacobs. So I said we have to move on. I would like to wish Jermaine all the best, he’s a good pro.Q. Where do you want the club to be in the next 5years?

A. It doesn’t worry me, attendances change with performances. The fans who still come are an absolute credit to us.Q. What happened to the James Vaughan deal?
