Using all assets to maximise profits, something the clubs failing to do while expecting the same people to dip into their pockets repeatedly.
I'd rather a starting XI made up of Robbie Evan's because of their attitude regarding the club, than a bunch of journeymen who have no pride in wearing the jersey, who gave up with 9 games to go.

So Wimbledon have no league funding for their academy?
All EFL clubs can apply for funding can't they? If they can't they are still £700k or more better off than us so £200k or so is not going to hurt them like it would when your in the conference trying to compete against sugar daddies who can spend whatever they like regardless.
Have you noted where Tamworth will be plying their football next year?
