I agree, I think dropping down a division should wipe the slate clean. If some of last year's slackers give it an honest go, (even Gabby), then good. It would mean ownership and management are already instilling belief in the players.
My car has been idling really low while in gear lately, really aggravating, and now the check engine light is on. And I already shelled out $700 for a new alternator last winter.
Cars.
I know what you mean, Richard. He's got a lot to prove, on the pitch anyway. He's someone I'd want in the squad or even the reserves, at least for a season. It would be a continuing source of much needed positivity around the club. My heart says he can make the team and cut up the Championship opposition!
