Me too.

And me.  That Malcolm Allison is rubbish.

I’m not saying I want a Man City type of approach,

I am.

I wouldn't want to copy a club that sacked Ron Saunders and replaced him with Tony Book. Although I am grateful that they did.

A club that nicked Joe Mercer and named the road to their stadium after him.

Sopwell Lane in St Albans has some of the best real ale pubs on the planet.

This is a good sign.

I know we will not get it, but who would say no to a bottomless pit of money taking you from Shaun Goater to Aguero in a few years?

In my mind I an conjuring up images of a rather quaintly old fashioned gentlemen's agreement scribbled out and signed on a beer mat.

Lovely hotel, used to stay there a lot, it’s also next to Veralum Golf Club, the home of The Ryder Cup.

It is indeed.  Scored my last try against Old Verulamians.  Celebrated at Sopwell House.  Still have the hangover.

We tried the Man. City approach in 2016 didn't we?

I know it's always exciting spending big money and signing players particularly strikers but whole club needs to be scrutinised from top to bottom imo.

We need to be better at promoting young players into first team, we need to be better at scouting exciting players in youth team and also abroad as we'll need both as/when we're a premier league club again.

Anagrammatically speaking, let's hope Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens investment:  'finesses wads (of) weariness' and displaces the: 'fears, seesaws & windiness' that have been blowing around VP of late.

We need to be better at promoting young players into first team, we need to be better at scouting exciting players in youth team and also abroad as we'll need both as/when we're a premier league club again.

It sounds like that's the approach they will take, which I agree with too. We have a tradition of having a good youth system and bringing young players through but if we can get that right, we really would be self-sustaining. Losing Jack is painful but I don't think it would be as much if we knew there was another one waiting to come through to replace him, who we knew about and were excited by.

Re Edens, I’m trying to get to grips with the idea of someone who has owned a sports team and made it better not dramatically worse. Witchcraft I tell you.

[Villafirst]

We don't need to lose Jack! Money isn't an issue now. We should tell Spurs to do one and see where things stand come January. The ironic thing is, our owners are wealthier than Spurs!
