Think that the idea of the thread was players who came through the youth setup.

No mentions for Harry Roberts yet?

I think that Alan Green was unfortunate that Ian Wallace came along when he did.

Or perhaps he was even persuaded that it would be a disastrous move. Even SISU have to get the odd decision right......

I'd struggle to disagree with you on that one :)

You can obviously read a lot into a set of minutes. As you suggest, perhaps we all fit them into our "worldviews". All I know is that it was proposed - we know not by who - and it didn't happen. But I guess that's plenty for a "guilty" verdict........
