We have a young manager to develope these.

The future is bright until we lose our next match and everything is shit again....
The trouble is that a percentage of people are only happy when they are moaning....therefore there isn't a lot we can do about these....except pitty their approach.

Regardless of when we lose we shit have a solid foundation.....stadium is key though!!

Kyle walker is still only 24 and is quite comfortably better than a huge number of right backs in the league imo

Why do you believe age is the route to success. IMO, talent and a winning mentality is far more important, irrespective of age

Yes talent is clearly more important than age....otherwise we and every other team would have a team of 16 year olds.

And yes a winning mentality is HUGE and a MUST for any successful team.....but do you think that a team developing a winning mentality either requires a multi billionaire owner buying all the top players in the world....aka man city or Chelsea.....or a team developing it together through time (therefore age is important) and understanding.....and what better place then our youth team who have been doing very well. It is also down to the manager to help develop this mentality and I believe we have a manager with this potential!

What I do know is with a 36,000 stadium we do not have the potential to grow too much bigger than what we are already......with a 60k (approx) stadium it provides us more potential to grow!

More seats means more affordable seats and probably better attendances accordingly.

Hansen was right you dont win anything with kids, and they didnt!! Look at that United team; Schmeichel in goal, Bruce and Pallister at CB's, Keane in midfield and Cantona up top. A more experienced spine you could not wish to have. They obviously had the talented youngsters but they had old heads in there too.
