just think...somewhere in the club, there are two lists of players we're going to try to bring to the club.

One will have some fantastic players on it who we could only ever have dreamed of under Fatso. Players with hugely promising careers who are being coveted by some of Europe's top clubs. Players who will get us off our seats and make us gasp with some of the things they do. Players who will be eyed enviously by other clubs and have features dedicated to them on Match of the Day.

And the second list is even better,

We are so close to being able to scrumple up that first list, smooth out the second one which Dan Ashworth has pulled out of his trouser pocket like a forgotten receipt, take a deep breath, smile and say 'right...'

Could be the most incredible Summer any of us have ever experienced.

Apart from '96, obviously.
