Haha, no. Just idle thoughts, which may, or may not, have much merit!
More or less working on the principle that clubs like Fax or Fev, or any other club in our position, don't seem to be chasing the standouts but concentrating on local youngsters and bringing them through. I'd say the major difference is probably that we have
genuine hopes of getting back to SL where they, maybe, don't.
Truth is though, that much as I take quite a bit of pride in our academy, our owners don't seem to be even remotely 'minted' and the bottom line is that it costs a lot of money to run and we don't seem to get
that much benefit from it. I'd seriously suggest that Fax etc get far better returns to cost figures than we do. Like it or not, we maybe should be comparing ourselves to clubs in a similar position as ourselves and not to such as Leeds, Wigan and Saints.
Cutting the cloth and all that?
