As far as I see it, this season was about two things for me, firstly get the squad cost back in balance and thereby get the club back on financial track. Secondly survive. At the moment we above relegation and I can gurantee that the salaries has gone down.
We might have been able to do this with signing older pros from lower leagues as well but that would have as big gamble as the path we choose. And the kid path will mean that the team will improve over the coming years, so yes I do think we are on the right track.
