That will understandably never happen, so we won't know. I think the key difference is that, due to the fact that we have had the most successful decade in my 50 years following the Millers, I am tending to trust the team that have contributed to that success. Not blindly, but I tend to imagine how hard it must be to put in huge amounts of effort and have players stolen from you at the last minute in a cut throat money dominated market. You however, seem to work on the assumption that there is loads more that can and should be being done, but when I asked you what, you didn't respond. So, specifically, what do you have in mind that we should be trying to do that will make it more likely that a proven championship player will sign for us over the other championship clubs?
