[you][be]"The pitch"[/be][/you] - the Olympic mega build has apparently leached all the funds from the Lottery Fund, etc. How the FA's money is connected to the Olympics in London I don't know. The bottom line is that we don't have all the money for sorting out the pitch; even if we were able to meet half of the total monies, as initially agreed - or at least these were the terms of the agreement that we were told about.
So, where are the funds going to come from, so that we can compete without handicap, by that I mean a pitch that won't flood and cause a backlog of fixtures and .... cause a repeat of the "mission nearly possible" that was this seasons campaign....?
Any ideas? I have an idea of who might be the Knight in shining armour that may help well, if it isn't that person, I don't know how the Committee are going to raise the £220,000 mentioned earlier which is required to do the job properly! sorry for being cryptic, but it might be a non deal, and it gives posters something to think about.
We also don't know who is staying, of the remaining squad, and who may leave - Tait?? Armstrong?? Ramsay?? Hook?? I heard Hooks name come up, but I don't know whether that was in the context of him staying or going?
So the 2007/8 squad may be very different to 2006/7 one. I think that it is too early to predict where The Sports will be this time next season, as has been speculated on different threads.
I think that we need a proven goal scorer to turn draws into wins, if Tait doesn't stay. Leach is not the finished article at the moment at this level, obviously, IMO. So, there is a lot that may happen along the road to next seasons success or otherwise. It might be that Boro get the financial injection they need to truly compete A lot of things were mentioned last close season that may not have come into being, but, thinking about it, quite a lot of the gossip did actually happen.
