Notts County big boost?


Well, first of all I’m happy to be writing again to my beloved blog, but somehow sad that beach and Sun are over for me this year.
Let’s play some football. Talking to some friends, we were analyzing Notts County effort to get back on the mainstream Premier League. How can a League Two club have the ambition to sign players like Figo or Zidane? Simple put: history and a lot of nerve!
The oldest club in the world is still living in the idea of those powerful early years and is with that feeling and passion that Sven-Goran Eriksson is trying to get some of the most talented players of the late XX century. Some cynical might say Figo or the confirmed Sol Campbell are as old as the club himself, but on the other side experienced and talented players are the real base of any major win, simple put that’s why we see Giggs or Scholes rising trophies every season and Fabregas or Van Persie just weaving goodbye to them.
But, the team that once gave Juventus their bianconeri equipment needs more than a couple of old timers to get back, or technically have their debut, on the Premier. Stronger sides need good players, awesome supporters, extreme rivalries and lot’s, lot’s of stability. With Eriksson at the helm they at least assure a lot of media exposure, what by the XXI century is almost the same as playing in the major fields… just not quite the same. Well go luck to them, at least it’s an ambitious project.
