Is his plan any different to what Hull are doing? Bring through your youth, look to sign good young players and tie them down to long contracts, get better value out of your cap and look for off field improvements to conditioning and rehab. Pretty obvious to me but actually implementing it effectively and achieving anything at the end of it is the challenge.
Indeed. One of the hardest things is to stick to the plan and ride the criticism - sometimes vitriolic - that will inevitably come from fans about the coach who is tasked with implementing the plan. Important to hold your nerve as a club wouldn't you say ?
