assiduous scouting and recruitment of talented unknowns in league two and non-league football, AND developing your own youngsters.
You hit that nail on the head Devon - something Town have been crap at for years, other than the recruitment of the odd foreign unknown. We've developed a few players bought for 5-6 figures into 7 figure sales that have helped keep Deano out of the soup kitchens (unless he was donating to them and helping out) but not enough to pay for the £4-£7million a year he's invested that suddenly resulted in us being where we are. We are where we are because we stumbled across Klopp's best mate at a time when Deano had run out of patience with English managers just about keeping us in the Chumpionship.
I'll read the rest of you post now.
looks like it could be interesting.
PS - I think the plan is to try and cop for as many Blue Manc rejects as we can get our hands on. The complaint has been that they've hoovered up all the local talent. Well they might have done because our so called scouts were looking in the wrong leagues for the wrong kids and turning up to the wrong games in the wrong age groups on the wrong days. Apart from that, the kids they found were were perfect at something other than football, so we then spent fortunes turning pigs ears into pork scratchings.
Can't disagree with what you said about the U23's. We sacked Mark Lillis from the Academy for winning all before hime by playing as many up to the age limit (or over) players as he could in any age group to win games. That's all we did, win games with 19 year olds playing against 17 year olds etc, etc. He didn't bring a single player through that we sold for beans let alone millions. So we got rid of him, brought someone else in and what changed? Fook Hall.
Hence we have U18's, U 23's and we'll look for Prima Donna League cast-off's and try and develop them.
That said, we've nowt to moan about compared to you lads. Well done for sticking with it with the numpty you have that owns the club. I see Jack has even jacked it in now. If you need some pork scratchings for next season, come have a look at our Academy.
