Hopefully they'll learn a harsh lesson, that money doesn't automatically bring you success, we know all about that.
Well it did for us, just that we couldn't sustain a club at the higher level without the money.

Yes there was some stagnation in the middle, but there is no doubting that the money instantly transformed us from two struggling clubs going nowhere into a success.

I'm not sure I thought he was underrated tbh! I thought he was a very good player, and I was disappointed he left. Did he go to Aldershot for their first season in the league?BartonRaz wrote:Vastly underrated whilst he was here in my opinion.Irish Diamond wrote:Dean Howell has gone to Crawley.

In all seriousness, whatever possessed you when you wrote that? How could anyone think that someone's surname would have an apostrophe in it?
