apart from the visits from Pele, its not much of a link up, so far

Ah right. They are the probably the best setup club in Brazil (admin wise and all over really), their youth academy in particular is fantastic. Shame nothing much has come to fruition.

i know we looked at a couple of their kids, last season, but i think realistic if any link up is going to bare fruit we'd have to be in the prem.....

.... i don't really know now if there has been any continuation of dealings/talks/interactions between the clubs so....

In the Championship though?

Obviously the link up between Sheff Utd & Sao Paulo was agreed back when you were in the Premiership - it looks like any chances of anything at all happening, sort of stopped when you came back down.

At least the link hasn't been terminated though, I guess that's a good thing.
