Good to see the owners get some recognition but seeing Zesh Rehman get nominated for footballer of the year does put a damper on the quality of the awards!

 

Well done to them. Glad we have them as owners instead of the goons.
We got to realise how lucky we are now. Things will be done properly from the ground up. Too many cowboy owners around (pompy).
