A New Blades era?

[Hodgyman]

Apologies to those that have seen this when I originally mis-posted it under the Brookes Thread. Please put my mistake down to the fact that I haven't stopped being giddy over our victory yet

Perhaps we are in a different era of our development these days which means that our team is so much better nowadays that we don't need to sell our star performers to get us out of the wilderness of the third tier football. The team have shown everyone that we have come a long way since those dark days. Maybe we could build upon the strong base that we currently have to take us forward to become a Premiership club if we resist the usual urge to sell to try and improve our team or pay off debt. United have developed quite a lot of talent over the years, only second placed in bringing Premiership players through their academy.

We have better financial backing than any time in my time as a supporter. After the recent good times we are perhaps in a better position to even attract additional backers.

Keep the special assets that we have nurtured in the Academy in the future and show some real business and football ambition. Keep Brooks and the others in the pipeline for our own supporters, club and it's investor's benefit.

Its interesting that brookes has come from man city, i am of the opinion that he may see going somewhere like spurs or everton like more of the same and look at harry maguire or even jagielka playing for us a few seasons and getting into the England squad. Id also throw kyle walker in there but he only played about 3 games for us.
