Interesting comments he made about his talks with Tom Fox. Got to get through this season with this group of players…next season will be different…i like what he (Tom Fox) had to say…All this with Delph signing a new contract seems to suggest a much more positive future IF we an avoid relegation
At last a man manager who speaks clearly and honestly.
Lerner ,back this back fully.
