A Victim of Our Own Success

According to news reports the AIG sponsor deal won't boost Fergie's transfer fund. With the team firing an improbable challenge for the Premiership crown, I find the timing of such news inexplicable. I wonder how this will play in the minds of Rooney and Ronaldo who seem to be more ambitious that the club. While I am all for good financial stewardship, the fact is we are short of at least 2 world class players in the centre of the field and have yet to map the lines of succession for Giggs. Unless we are out there bidding for some of the Torres, Joachims and Diarra's, I am afraid it will be another 26 years before we reclaim the premiership crown.
