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.
We still command a great deal of respect in the football world due to our tradition. If we were seen to come back from the brink by building a progressive young team and not resorting to big money, I think we would win a great deal of support from football supporters in general who are fed up with money ruining the game.

Uber from the Elephant to VP is £240 via the M11/M6 so via the bandit country of Peckham £260-70?
Didn't realise Nas and Wes were good friends.I just assumed Xia or whoever was tasked with finding new investors had found them and asked if they wanted to invest in the club together.
