Agreed on the first bit at least, Jon - Denis's men should have just gone hell for leather! I agree about the rich clubs as well but MU have the distinction of becoming so by investing in young players rather than buying foreign talent. Remember the Busby Babes? I know that Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy are bought in but The Nevilles, Giggs and even Beckham were brought in as apprentices. If MU can do it - how come others can't?

How are things by the way, Jon. Not seen you since the Yorkshire gathering 3 or 4 years ago (If it is Jon F that is!)

Cheers
