  1. Del Boy must think long and hard about this. No point ruining a legacy for the McD’d of Europe. If he is ready to return to Bush League FC, he must demand full transparency and a delve into the books. But the biggest task is Everest. A sit down with Prophet Max will be the steepest of all challenges. One was renowned for grace, elegance and style and the other is reading manuscripts from the bronze age. The fossil of fossils will be his biggest task to date.
