Thanks CiB, it is an interesting read relating to the last few years under new ownership. Only time will tell how we progress from here.
One thing is certain, many fans will be creating a fuss if we don't get results in the PL.
Such is life and it's nothing new because I have witnessed much over 73 years of going on the Turf. Plus ca change!

More US Yankee bull$hit and drivel. "a constable barks instructions to a battalion of cops — at least 100 strong, dressed in reflective yellow — about crowd control." Pfhuck off!

Quelle surprise. An article written by and for the American market in a magazine based in Salt Lake City and which is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was the first newspaper to be published in Utah some 175 years ago.I wonder why BT thinks that it is "Yankee bull$hit and drivel" but yet is more than happy to include lots of other bull$hit and drivel from anywhere when it comes to anything about a certain place in the Middle East.

Yawn - " The club sprouted from a mill town where textile barons cast long shadows over rows of “two up, two downs” — modest 800-square-foot homes that somehow accommodated mill workers and their sprawling families. These laborers found salvation in the beautiful game, first competing against fellow workers before challenging neighboring mills."

It would help if the dude could speak and spell in English!

I agree BT. So much was built on the blood, sweat and tears of ordinary people who wanted to raise their children properly, put food on the table and have a roof over their heads, as humble as that roof may be.

Like many on here, I was born and raised in such a house. Having read “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists” three times in my life, I can never glory in the stately homes of Britain - the worst example of wealth at the expense of ordinary working people. I can only admire the bravery of colliers who put their lives on the line every day going down the pit.

We have to move on though. We, thankfully, live in different times, but for all of us born and raised in areas dominated by pits and mills, I hope that we will never forget the sacrifices that our ancestors made to give us the life that we enjoy.

Too true S_c, there's a socialist deep down inside of you somewhere.

Not socialism, BT. Gratitude for my life thanks to them, together with a strong sense of justice, fairness and meritocracy. I was given opportunities denied to even my parents’ generation.

I thought you had read straight from Jeremy Corbyn's playbook there S_c.
