The club don't even have to answer if we have a media/PR/commas department worth it's salt. A few pictures from training this week with Sheridan in the frames even if it's the background would go some way to allay any fears. And would be quite a clever way to go about it.
Throw in a few interviews, twats, meeting and greeting fans in James Brent's pension fund or at the club shop and bobs your uncle he's suddenly around the place everyday or whatever it is.
