I think you largely end up with what you budget for, so we've got a couple of good players and lots of sprinkles of promise around the squad. We lack the players you can look to when the going gets tough. It is possible Danny could make a team out of the available material. I'm pretty sure Pooch's mum would be at a loss.
It is true we are what we are, but if Burton didn't have to accept such limitations forever why must our supporters? Our last attempt at the play-offs was a disgrace. Our manager knew he was leaving, so did the best of the team and at the end of a season with keepers available everywhere in emergency, we recruited one to let a goal in from a bus stop three miles from the ground ........ Preston were better than us anyway, but we didn't half go out of our way to prove it.
We'll end up where we want and deserve to be. If we choose to piss on Danny Wilson in the process, we'll be pissing on one of our few genuine heroes. And if we were to get a new Chairman, would he be better than Mr Allen, more flexible, more generous? Might he not be capricious, deaf to the fans, a man who would see the Proact as his personal fiefdom and playground?
