    They didn’t fare so well though in the World Cup qualifying though

    Gru is blind, he hasn't seen a single good thing in Paul Warne since he's been in the job. He despises him.

    If you have a game style where you let the ball do the work then maybe 30 isn't too much of a barrier.

    But with a high press, high energy tactic it's probably more restricting.

    We're on same wavelength. Also I've said we don't get championship standard players of that age so we're double restricted.

    Don't even dare try and question PW's passion. Don't even dare.

    Not a perfect manager by any stretch but only a fool would dare suggest that. Talk some utter sh1te.

    That doesn't defeat the argument that over 30s aren't good enough for the Championship. That would merely suggest we haven't recruited the correct ones. The point about over 30s being able to play in the Championship would still be valid...

    I think experience is the most overused word in football, I think it's not as important that people make out to be. The only problem with having too many old heads is that they add no value to squad in terms of assets for possible sale and for a club our size we need to buying and selling on for profits if we gonna be competing at this level.
