Only just seen this. You hit the perfect note with it Dave.
Sometimes things just come to an end. I wouldn't necessarily blame the Manchester City player, and I certainly don't blame Dean. As of tomorrow we go back to being another struggling PL club, rather than a Bruce Springsteen song. The new fella might build something all of his own for us to believe in. Probably not, obviously.
Edit: I know that More than a Feeling isn't a Bruce Springsteen song. I meant the local boy doing good aspect feels like the narrative to one of his, before any smartarses chime in.
