For a start I know this is a non-starter because I'm sure WMP wouldn't allow it!! but..
I'd love to see a pre-season tournament every year between WBA, Villa, Wolves & Coventry in honour of the big man & all he achieved for West Midlands football.
It could be rotated so each club held it - even u23 teams could participate! I'm sure it'd generate a bit of business for all sides including any worthwhile charities but I suppose it'd never happen!
From what I've heard, when the idea was mooted that was exactly what the club wanted. However when they got in touch, Wolves had already confirmed their pre-season schedule, they couldn't get a reply from Villa, and so that only left Chester, Wycombe, and Hayes as possibles for the other spots.
Then WMP heard about it and got the hump because the club hadn't consulted them before trying to arrange it!
I'm going, quite looking forward to it. Worried that Coventry might really fancy it and win though.
