When Reading got promoted to the Premiership last time they had a team of real Loyal 'grafters' (Like Wales at present) - but after promotion, management thought they could dispense with the 'grafters' and BUY even more success with so-called 'better' players. They couldn't and they didn't .... so as long as they (and other teams) think you can BUY Loyalty and 'Graft' success will elude them ... A shame, but there you are. Nice little compilation by the way. I remember catching the train back to Maidenhead and all the Manchester United squad boarding the train (caused quite a cafuffle ;-)
Superb work Chris..
