They certainly are moving in the right direction whilst we don't seem to be moving backwards but nor do we seem to be moving forwards - stalling is what I'd describe it as.
100% correct.
I think they will push the season tickets on the back of going forward with our young players. We will be at the start of another "It will take us at least three years..." if that is what we do. Don't get me wrong I want to see the young players who are ready get the opportunities but I have never believed we can be a success without a mix of our own home grown players and quality signings.
From Mike's site the rumour is Bailey has been offered a 1 year contract (from Crunchers favourite person CPW aka Charlie Seeling). I like Bailey but he isn't real quality.
If we re-sign Bailey then what opportunities will there be for the young back row forwards?
I am not optimistic for 2010 at all because if we do re-sign Bailey I think it means Noble will get at least another year as it wil be "his squad".
In other words its OK pushing the youth angle but the club has signed up all the players Noble selects who keep them out of the team.
