Two great signings

[whosbrianwilson]

Again, you're totally correct Timmy, it's just that there seems to have been a sea change back to the whole Crewe ethos of keeping young players until its the right time for them to go and those players appreciating this and being prepared to sign contracts to protect the club.
The membership of the Board hasn't changed for a number of years, so presumably their outlook hasn't changed, but something is now persuading our best young talent to sign 3 year plus deals once again. It certainly won't be money!! I just think a lot is down to LB, who most of the kids will have grown up alongside.

There have been changes on the board in the last couple of years but I think you are right, I am sure LB and his management team will have a significant input into the decisions both on who, how long and probably les so in how much. Whatever it is down to it is pleasing to see.
