But as has been proved recently, no one wants to go there. They are not an attractive proposition any longer, one reason being that they are not a forward-thinking club, a progressive club. They seem to be trapped in some kind of 80's/90's time-warp. The spice boys and all that. Just treading water. The same as the rags in that respect.200 million for him now they are saying. That would be very hard to turn down for a 31 year old player. If Nunez has a better second season they could be okay, with a shitload of money to spend in January.
Some clubs, from the boardroom down to the tea-lady, become stodgy: content with a top four place every year, and the income it provides. They become a metaphorical middle-aged man: prematurely balding, a thickening around the middle, and a shame-inducing 'XL' on the waistband of their jeans. This is essentially what has become of both the rags and the dippers.
The 21st Century has left them both lagging behind, and they have a lot of catching up to do
