Now, although being a lifelong admirer of the lads who are, and have been performers making up the Magic Circle, I go along with the word ' illusion ' but shy away from anything described as ' Magic ' . But what I do believe that as far as Football ( OK Di ? ) is concerned, that there are Managers who really do have more acumen than others where developing and maintaining the skills of individual players and their team/squad ..and JC is one of these !.
Another word, this time one I can give credence to, is patience, and now I feel is not the time to doubt the management skills of JC but to allow a little time for change to happen !.
In my mind the key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it !.
I feel that as far as this this season goes there won't be any magic... just the sort of honest graft and application which has led our club to the wonderful situation we can witness as we enter its gates !.

End of novelette!.

ON STANLEY ON !.. TO GREATER THINGS !! .

Wise words Alan, wise words
