If Manchester United can have a ‘holy trinity’ then we should have something similar. Adam Murray is part of key quartet for next season (alongside Turley, Foster and Green). I can’t think of a cool nickname for this lot at the moment, possibly the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but who knows who is pestilence, war, famine and death.

It’s a long summer; I’ll work on it. In the meantime Murray has signed a contract extension, which can only be a good thing. When he signed in January he looked to all intent and purpose a midfield enforcer but proved as much the creative dynamo as anything. He may still need a battler alongside him but his signing is the latest signal that we could end the ignominy of being the biggest city without a league club come next May.
