RTV? Completed it mate!
It's trendy to have one.
I doubt very much if any of the former greats would have entertained it. I'd be surprised if guys such as Shankly, Paisley, Ferguson, Smith, or Stein would have wanted or accepted one.
Won't find me arguing with that. However, we are in a completely different era now. In these days of youth players who are millionaires and transfer budgets running to 9 digits I suspect that even those guys would have been grateful for the help. If it's good enough for today's 'greats' (Pep?) then it's good enough for us. Welcome to the new millennium!
One thing all those you quote wanted to do was spend time on the training pitch - in the modern era the DoF 'should' help to facilitate that.
