Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Poor attempt at a side step there
These clubs that should be able to apply , you suggest they are told they are in SL and then spend 3 years in the Championship ' preparing ' , thats a good way of making the second tier even more worthless , having teams ' treading water '
You really are stupid

if getting to SL is the only reason to compete in the championships, then all clubs are simply treading water.

No the idea was that you win the Championship to get into SL , How do you suggest they ' prepare ' ?

So you mean being a Championship club basically , how will that prepare them for SL ? , you have stated many , many times the gap between part time and full time is huge , so basically they will need to change 90 % of their playing staff when they move up , unlikely they will retain any decent young players or a SL quality coaching staff either
If they are not competitive they will not build a fan base either
Or are you suggesting they go full time in the Championship ?

no im not, Im suggesting they be an SL club in the championships, they can go full-time if they wish, but they should be looking at filling their squad with young players, that would be the point, so they didnt need to change 90% of their playing staff when they move up, they need to pick up SL quality young players and coaching staff, people who will be happy to be involved with a club they KNOW will be in SL in 2/3 years.
They may not attract masses of fans, but it will help get the message out they exist, it will help to build visibility, they can use it as time to sell themselves in all aspects and to put in place the infrastructure to deal with that.

So basically be given an excemption on the Salary cap , marvelous , we finally get a competitive league and you want to f*** it up
It doesn't work , you know it doesn't work , you have stated many times you cannot grow/build a club outside SL to prepare for SL , you have stated that is why the likes of the Crusaders have to be IN SL , you are contradicting yourself again

I've have argued you can't grow an SL club in the championships, and i dont believe you can.
But i certainly think you can put the infrastructure in place and prepare very well for SL, and benefit from that preparation time whilst in the Championships.

Maybe they fill their squad with these players and end up getting relegated , that will prepare them for SL , or maybe they should be excempt from that as well , then a club finishing higher can be relegated instead
I haven't misunderstood anything , you are talking bollox and contradicting yourself again , as you do all the time
These ' facilities ' , like what exactly ?

So this hypothetical club outside the heartlands fills its squad with young SL quality players from where and paid for by who ?
This SL quality coaching staff , they move to this hypothetical club outside the heartlands , stay there for 3 years and paid for by who ?
Who pays ?
