Given the £200k was nowhere near spent as I keep getting reliably informed  then I assume there is money in the pot plus the Ward money waiting for the taxman LOL.
Kiddy recruit locally and my point/suggestion is we should look at similar.
The bin dippers took their rated FB so what reason is there to think we could not attract a player either.
Given our recruitment recently again I assume that we are not aware of up and coming players as we very rarely sign any.
Tilt being a recent great example of what could be done.
Not sure why anyone disagrees with getting better players from other clubs. |
No. Not targeted at you. Your getting too sensitive.
Was a generalisation.
Would love to see better players who have skill and vision but they're as rare as hen's teeth.
Some of the players suggested would have to relocate. take a wage cut and drop out of the league. Unless the target is mid 30's and looking for a player assistants job and a place to do his badges, then it's not very realistic.
We have a fairly healthy budget but it has to support 18 - 20 players, year on year.
Reinvigorating the youth system and using them in the squad gives ius a better chance of good players. Picking up rough diamonds from NLN and polishing them is another way.
