Yep, I agree with that. SCFC is getting a name for itself imo as a good career stepping stone, even Ash is working for the media now.

Indeed only when he is holding up the scarf or jersey on the official site.
Until then anything could happen

Who’s scouting for us in (the rest of) Europe? Have we got a network? Ferrie, Michu and Gerhard could be doing a job for us on a retainer.
