Walk A Mile In My Shoes - Joe South.

Only if the do it today.

The thin end of the wedge.

Don’t FEAR The Reaper. - Blue Oyster Cult.

There’s no comparison with the 1970’s and now. I never lost hope that we would be a force to be reckoned with back then.

As you say the differences of emphasis on what was actually required between JDT and Broughton is concerning. Reading between the lines JDT wasn’t too bothered about getting another midfield player, he was desperate for a striker.

Oh No Not My Baby - Maxine Brown.

Now they’re looking for a new owner. They’re up for sale for £1 apparently. You have to take over their debt though.

Same criticism applies to the players.

My Guy - Mary Wells

What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace, Love And Understanding - Elvis Costello

You’ve got to play in your opponents half and get balls and bodies into the box. There isn’t another way.

Travis, Buckley, Morton or Wharton when he’s fit again.

Money’s Too Tight To Mention- The Valentine Brothers.

Crazy Arms - Jerry Lee Lewis

One Fine Day - The Chiffons. Yes, I can keep it in the 1960’s.

Got To Get You Into My Life - The Beatles.

From Me To You - The Beatles.

That’s were it’s not working. Three will always dominate a two.

I had disc problems - playing football was murder, even at amateur level.

What was more worrying was the playing staff and management seemed to be thinking along similar lines. Straight off to the airport for a break in the sun. I’d be laid down in a darkened room. The two local lads that would have given their right arm to play in that game were left out !

With all due respect were the “ project “ argument falls down is that clubs like Rovers can’t sustain a successful team over that period of time. If we had any really good players they’ll be lured away by clubs further up the food chain just like Armstrong was. Let’s just say we’d stormed up the league playing brilliant football - how long do you think JDT would hang around ? One of the bigger clubs that had just been relegated would be after him like a shot. The only way it works is if you have a shit hot senior management and scouting system that can identify replacements before you need them as Brentford and Brighton have done. We couldn’t be further away from being run along those lines if we tried

Time Is On My Side - Irma Thomas.

Time Of The Season - The Zombies.

Projects are for clubs with A* senior management such as Brighton, Brentford, Fulham etc not for clubs like Rovers who basically have no senior management at all.
