'Hoping' for anything to come good, esp with the myriad of serious and complex issues - and clearly volatile and uncertain future outcomes - relating to Oliver, could go a long way to destroying our clubs prospects over the next half decade.

Quality mids, to enhance what we have with Sog/Rankine/Crouch/Curtin/Dawson do.
