i think i must have read a different article? mine clearly stated that marcus wouldn't be using the pred name until the team was ready!
But what i can add is this:
Marcus is a comitted player and by that i mean that he will give his best and expect the rest of the team to do likewise.
They will train, train and then train some more, both on the field and in the gym.
The Predators name is a marketable comodity, so full sponsorship will be easily obtainable for them, with the pred signature series marker and pred clothing following on closely behind their march across europe.
They may never make the top grade but they will be a force to be reckoned with, if you go up against them, don't expect to see a bunch of pensioners with zimmer frames !
Personally i think the return of the preds will be a good thing, i see them as being the uk "dynasty", they may not win all the time but people will like them anyway, and dare i say they will offer a more proffesional image than some uk teams !
Besides i love to go up against the preds, so i can give marcus a little payback for "lighting me up" down at battlezone in kent back in the day, one day marcus, one day.
