Quote: Jonnie.. "whist i agree it would be nice to run a second team again, the reaility is we cannot financially afford it!
better to havea first team than a second team which would aid in pulling the club under!
The club had to make a tough call, and it did just that, loyalty and passion is one thing, cold hard cash is another, we dont have a sugar daddy, therfore we have to stand on our own two feet, boom and bust is not the way.
mark my words in this sport and other more high profile ones, there are going to be some major casulities when over spending catches up, i think they will call it the " leeds Utd effect!"'"
We could afford it but decide to spend it on alleged top players! Do you think Gene and Aizue have been cheap? We do not need a Sugar Daddy to beat Fev, Hunslet and Dewsbury-but we cant even manage that despite having more money than those clubs. We do need a second team as then the likes of Roberts, Bowman, Fleming, Cherryholme would atleast be getting game time and match fitness and not just sat around doing nothing! Where is the incentive for a player when he never gets to play except maybe 4 or 5 times a year? How do you brng the young players through like Fleming when you have no Reserve or Academy team for them to play in? Its now how much you spend its what you spend it on.
