Sorry, I should have put "regular fixture in the Prem", but I still don't see Blackburn as a top division town, ridiculous as that is, never mind Wigan, Reading, Hull, Portsmouth or Bolton. It amazes me that the two Sheffield teams struggle to put top sides together, but this all comes down not to the coach and players but the chairmen/women of the clubs themselves.
A clearout is still needed of the control freak old guard at many large clubs who are living in the seventies and who appoint managers not to run the football operation but to do their bidding.
