It is a lot more than adding 20% to performances.

It sets the whole philosophy of the Club. It models tactics across all teams down to juniors. It is the starting point for player recruitment.

There will be sceptics but it is the future.

I think the best we could hope for next season is maybe a playoff push if we 1) get the right players in, 2) the defense keeps up to its standard from this season, 3) some creative players to feed the attacking players and 4) we find someone, or preferably 2, who can put the ball in the back of the net on a regular basis.

You can have all the analysts you want, its still down to the players on the pitch to do the business & a flexible manager when it comes to tactics and formation.

Keane & McGugan are both on loan, so their is no guarantee they will both sign in the summer, though we should have a decent chance with McGugan.
