Because the club has tunnel vision towards first team wages and nothing else.

Icing on the cake that. Nick our potential players and use our facility that was robbed off of us.

It won't last. Swansea will be league 1 within 5 years.

Is the idea of youth players coming through the ranks to actually strengthen the first team completely impossible for some people to understand?

One reason is because we can only play against teams at our level. IE Conference reserve teams, not the ones we used to play from the EF league. Greater travel costs and lower standard of football.

Sam Rickets.

He has £xxx in the budget.
He need at least the same amount to make a realistic challenge for the title or the play-offs this coming season.

By how much do you want him to reduce his budget in order to fund some young lads who might (or might not!) be good enough for NL football in 3 years or so?

Serious question guys!

No. It's the cost of it that I believe the club thought better to go in another direction. Whether that's right or wrong remains to be seen. The problem is yes we can do a youth team and reserve team, but it will greatly reduce the first team budget. This along with all the sugar daddy owners leaves us with the tough choice.

I guess carrying extra players and youngsters and the travel costs...

£150-200k??

You also have to train and coach them which takes time out from maybe scouting the first teams opposition teams. It's not just a financial burden.
