I said the same thing a year or so back Tap, our fans were lapping up the success, Vinni and Alan were heroes, which was fine, but how do the fans react if at the end of every season we sell on our best couple of players ? Vinni has mentioned Brighton and suggested we could emulate them, but there is one big difference, Brighton established themselves in the PL first, we haven't, we seem to have made little attempt to consolidate, looking at last summer's window it's as though we just assumed we were going to stay up, or even more bizarre, just didn't care whether we did or not.
It's a cut-throat business is football at this level, you have to know what you're doing, Mr Pace is soon going to be an owner with two relegations on his CV, which could suggest he doesn't really know what he's doing, or if he has a plan, as army says, it isn't working.
