Yep, quite a few clubs struggling for years after unsuccessful bids to stay up/get promoted. We went mighty close to losing our club in the Archer/Stanley/Bellotti era and must remain wary of the idea that big spending guarantees success - unless it's super big and I think all the petro crooks...
Neal has played a massive part in what looks like being our best ever top flight season. His late equalisers - notably vs our Croydon chums and the audacious overhead kick vs Chelsea - will live long in the memory. He is a tireless trier who is desperate to do all he can for the team. Yes, he's...
That's quite a list. We've had a few flops, of course, but overall recruitment has been superb. My vote is for Gross over successive seasons, but Veltman for 900k was a ridiculously smart bit of business.
