Quote: Jo Jumbuck "I probably am naïve regards the running of the club, and the Academy is definitely the way to go .
The way you put it we don't have the brightest future then, we are at best always going to be hanging on to the coat tails of the clubs like Leeds. If we can't afford the right class of player , or we haven't got the staff capable of bringing our players up to that level, Perhaps we would be better going for the big fish in a smaller pond option until the Academy starts to bear the desired results.
It's not my preferred option but even with the financial constraints you talk about we should always be able to match and better the likes of Fax, Wakey, Cas Fev . Even Bradford with the millstone they have round their neck. I don't remember the crowds we got in the unbeaten season but I seem to remember everyone seemed happy.
I see what you are saying but even If / when we do bring some good players through, as someone has said, like L Patrick who are they going to want to play for.'"
I think we do better fax, wakey , cas, fev and bradford
we have been up at the top end of SL consistently now for a number of years.
shame we cant just go that one step further and win a trophy but its now easy, 12 other clubs try and how many have won silverware in the SL era, the usuals who have much bigger resources than us. We have basically started a club from scratch which was nearly extinct while the likes of wigan/saints and leeds were still winning comps.
) for a while we are massively dependant on confidence. As soon as a team start to get on top of us we panic and revert to just patting opposition on the chest as opposed to making an actual tackle, which in turn just makes it too easy for them to score.
