well he has to me, at Disneyland Paris last summer just as me and the boy were about to board the Peter Pan ride I turned round and saw the man himself in the next queue to board, dumbstruck and not knowing what to say I blurted "'ello Bob, you coming back to Brighton then?" he grinned and replied "Yeah one day".
(Now, this story is 100% true, however I accept that he may have been sarcastic or merely humouring me, but I know what I heard and that'll do me"!)
I don't doubt that happened (I remember you saying at the time), but what is he going to say ? Of course he'll say yes to an obvious fan. Just like all those who moan at what managers say, when in fact all they've done is answer a question put to them.
To put the record straight, I have always said that I wouldn't want BZ back again, mainly because after he last stint, anything would be a disappointment, and I generally believe in "never go back". However, I concede that, at present, he would strengthen our team, in our current position, and on that basis alone, I would be happy for him to return.
Do I think it will happen ? Possibly more likely now than ever before, but on balance, no, I don't see it.
