Dick Knight in his autobiography says he fell out with the Friday Ad shareholder over club spending. He argues that if you are not moving upwards as a football club - it is easy to fall into a downwards spiral - worse players - less fans - less income -worse players etc. Its a fine balancing act...
Completely agree. Full backs are key in the modern game as this is often where attacking space is created. Wayne Bridge on top form made a massive difference for us as does Bruno to a lesser extent when he is on his game.
