Yep. Be interesting to see what we do for a league game with him out and if, big if, we do play well and keep the ball in midwife and win, will Vic walk (no pun intended) straight back into the side.
I see this as a positive article. The bit where he says its was easier 4 years a go is true, we have move up as a club and the youth players also need to move up. When these kids came to use we were much lower down in the league.
If we back the academy and bring in some good young purchases the place can thrive again. Only 1 or 2 from each year will go on to play as a pro I imagine.
He isn't saying he not give them a chance (the opposite in fact when you read the quotes about Reed and Targett) but only if they are good enough or play themselves into the team.
It's a kick up the arse of the youth and the coaches IMHO.
Actually, from the last couple of days I get the feeling Ron wants to build a project here.
Either that or I'm still drunk. Hey ho.
Hence the "on another note" part of his post I assume. It's a bit of info relevant to Saints in general but not worthy of its own thread (I can see if he had started a new thread you would have posted "wtf, why is this its own thread").
Chill out Saints fans.
My betting. 4 questions on Mane/ManUtd, 2 on Vic/Arse, one on a player we have been linked with but are not going for and no mention of Forster, Gardos, JRod etc.
