My original point was regarding the 90s when we were the ongoing dominant force in the premiership. Veron didn't come along til about 2001/2 if memory serves.

Finally we're getting somewhere!! Tell me, had Roman not come along, or if he had and only spent a quarter of what he did, do you think you guys would be facing us for the double?
