Exactly, and long experience of how we tend to go on in this town tends to curb your enthusiasm. Money has damaged the game, too many corporate interests, whitewashing of dodgy regimes and suspect billionaires have been attracted into becoming involved. The days of Dick Wragg, Eric Taylor and their like are gone, certainly when it comes to the top two divisions. I met Eric Taylor on a few occasions on business, both at Hillsborough and his home on Tom Lane. He was a gentleman and genuinely cared about your club.

Tomorrow we’ll wake up on all these reports in the national press will have vanished into thin air.

Wow - such cynicism for Alan Nixon! 🤣 I know first hand that Nixon has really, really good sources at all the local clubs.

In which case let's hope it's Burger King, because we weren't very happy with McDonald when he was involved a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
