Things have moved on a lot from the past its more important to live in the present so the future can be bright.

Good news for the long suffering supporters - more investment should mean the arrival of a couple of EPL quality players to make the push for promotion a better chance.

That's what got them in this mess to start with.

ALWAYS LOOK OUT FOR TURKS CARRYING KNIVES!

Signed Hernandez on a 2 year contract - still need to sign a number of players that are on loan at the club from other clubs.

Monk is only on a one year deal so he will need to be signed up also.

They played very well against Derby especially first half and fully deserved the home win.

Green in goals does worry me at times though.
