Weetabix too, now owned by the Chinese

Like the sound of being geared up to be regularly top ten, realistic challengers for Europe and for one of the cups...

It does all seem a bit pointless to me if we can't ever reach that category.

I wonder how long it will take TB? My guess would be a "5 Year Plan" with achieving the aim of Year 1 being one of the trickiest hurdles.

I actually think year 1 is the easiest. Very low expectations from the fans who are happy just to compete and stay up. Get past this and then fans start expecting a bit more and then it starts to get problematic.

Cracking read, that. Thanks El Pres.

 

[The Large One]

Literal bugbear - para 2 and 5. "... last 20 years", "... last five years".

It should be "... past 20 years", "... past five years".

I don't know if it's common knowledge (or rumour), but a source I know close to a director has said that the club offered TB a substantial chunk of money back (£30m) as a 'thank you', once promotion had been secured.

Tony politely declined it and asked for it to be kept in the club.

I think he's going beyond 'Legend' and pressing for 'Angel' status now?

After a moments thought what would have been initially a flippant, throwaway comment is actually a serious one and fookin scary.
Here it is anyway:-

'what's £30,000,000 when you're already £250,000,000 down'
