Being A Pompous Sort Of Bloke...

...and someone who wouldn't have objected to ghosting Sutty's book, I sent an indignant E Mail to the publishers, as there are lots of NCFC-related errors in Sutton's book, not least that Villa one.

They not only bothered to reply but inferred that heads might roll and the reprint would see them all corrected.

Think they might have a lazy subby somewhere along the line as don't think Sutton would have made the errors and, in anycase, they should have checked them up first.

Pedantic I know but I get stick for errors, so...
