All good valid points Josh, the only issue being as soon as a coach and/or players start to shine in the lower divisions, then the vultures start circling and planting ideas of greatness in said coaches and players. Then can offer mega bucks to anyone with the slightest potential and off they go to be a bench warmer or loaned out. So as much as I absolutely agree that a long term strategic plan is a great idea, money talks, as has been the case recently, and decent players leave quickly.
