Hi Helgy, good to see you posting occasionally!

Your post sums up some of the problems, in that fans expect clubs to pay stupid fees and wages for 4th tier players.
Clubs cave in to players/agents demands but if they dont they get left behind.
It is such a gamble to try and build a team with locals and rough diamonds because although it is more likely to be within a sustainable budget it is also most likely to exclude you from a genuine promotion challenge, initially at least.

Clubs need to  include fans in a long term plan as opposed to using new found riches to justventice the better players

UTM


Its so tough but once in a while a talented bunch will come through together,agents are so much behind player unrest its easy to see why.
When a player is on 600 a week agent gets 60 quid ,agent then pushes the player towards a L1 club and then gets 2-300 a week.


Getting the fans onboard has been a factor with our success,right now all the local businesses are engaging with the club and also want to get involved in what i do with the fans scheme.
Once there is a them and us the club will be always divided ,we don't have that right now.

Quoted from forza ivano


if robles can't score goals in the tercera division, think its most unlikely he's going to get many in a division that is 3 or 4 steps higher


Did Harry Kane set the world alight at any of his loan clubs ? Put him in a Premier League side and ... booooom !!!

Some strikers can do it alone, some need chances to thrive on....not saying Robles is going to turn out that good but sometimes players just find the right place to be...our own Podge Amond for instance.

Wont judge him until i see him.

Quoted from The_Laughing_Mariner
People (fans) are always very good at spending other peoples money


Doesn't most of the club's funds come from the fans?

And hasn't our club wasted lots of cash or some poor quality players and paying off some who the club wanted rid of before their contracts had ended.
