I was in New York today on business and managed to log onto sportinglife in mid afternoon. My heart leaped about 3 feet when I saw the official news that he had signed up. My colleague was talking to me for about 5 minutes but I just kept saying yes every 10 seconds and nodding like a nodding dog - he didnt seemed to notice I was not paying any attention at all..I was in dreamland!
Absolutely fantastic news...as others have said it is time for the fans to back the club and put the last few months behind us. We need to back in numbers and cold hard cash. Make no mistake about it, this is a HUGE coup for the club. The amount of media attention is fantastic - there is no doubt that we mean business. If WE can hardly believe it I ber no-one else can either. You can tell from the comments from the man himself that he is passionate about coming back and has a soft spot for us - and we do for him. Yes he did leave us but realistically who could blame him?
But Basil cannot do it by himself. We and the players need to do our bit now. I am really hoping that the players will lift themselves, if not because the fans are buzzing but because they are playing for a new contract. At the very least there should be no lack of effort..they should running and tackling their blood to water. I just wish I could be at the next game because I suspect there will be a bit of a party atmosphere..
WELL DONE LEIGH!
