Relegation

Sigh...!

Whilst Mike is rehashing his thoughts on the academy we have missed the announcement of the retain list I think straight away the disappointing thing is the retention of some fairly mediocre midfield players so we certainly must strengthen in that department quite heavily what does everyone else think ?

Is he rehashing? Thought he was stuck in the 60’s with pounds shillings and pence and petrol in gallons, leather caseys and NO COACHING.

Hehe!

Its my age of course but for me the 60's was a wonderful era of everything going on and the music was up there and why some groups from then are still doing it today.

Football was fantastic then and of course we won the world cup and in reality which few today will agree is there really wasn't any junior coaching or senior coaching and players were chosen purely on their ability. I have never enjoyed watching kids play at anytime. Back then the pitch conditions were worse than now, the casey were damn heavy and most savage tackles were allowed and so in many respects the football itself should be better but its not. I suspect the penalty was when we stopped having 5 forwards and just have one or two up front....I think that started before academies with Leeds and Don Revie copying the continentals...

Ah the old days are gone forever....
