It's the timescales that have killed the joy. 3/4 years of joy of seeing them play for saints would be ok. The new sell them the instant they show promise kill it's completely for me.
You do invest in a training ground if the plan is to repeatedly strip any assets of value coming through the academy. That's renewable asset stripping or harvesting if you like the term better.
Worst fact about asset strip is that they have removed any joy from watching academy players play for us. We know now in 12 months they'll flog reed, jwp and targett if there's any interest.
I see it as option 2. Pretty dispiriting as a fan to see the talk about ambition was just lies to keep people whilst they sell anything they can get a big fee for.
Really can't tell if its Les or Kat. If the order from on high is asset strip then what can worker bees do but comply. If Les thinks selling all our players is the route to success then yes he's a deluded madman.
Yeah very worried she sees it as a new little earner selling all these renewable academy products. Hope i'm wrong or if not hope someone buys her out quick before things go down the toilet completely.
Really there can't be any truth to stories about us selling our star young right back can there?
That's without even bothering about the pittance fees being quoted.
Sales have tested my faith in board's ability to say no.
I'd disagree it got us up to 8th in the league and plenty of games we won because we kept hold of the ball. Our failure to take chances was an issue as was our lack of depth and later in season lack of strikers.
