The key to it in OUR position is to make sure you get your prospects under contract so that they don't just clear off That's why the one year contracts are so foolish at SWFC 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really blame Celtic and Leicester, just seems so unfair and biased towards the big boys. Give it a few years and the clubs with cash will get what they want, a small number of the elite with the rest going under. So very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also not my fault for the points deduction, it's the EFL's fault for choosing to deduct the points!" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This must happen to many clubs and will in my opinion pop another nail in the coffin of the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 We got him in on a free transfer if I’m not mistaken, in which case we’ve actually made a profit on a player sale -under DC that fact in itself is one for the record books. Its a pretty poor show though - OU was not the finished article, but shows promise and his value will only increase IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's the 'system's fault that we consistently fail to tie down our young playing assets on contracts longer than a year at a time. Certainly, teams outside the Premiership struggle to hold onto their decent young prospects. But the point is to see them as an investment and make sure you get a decent return, which other clubs manage to do fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 With Hirst, he would have undoubtably been a better play if he hadn't had half a year not training or playing then another year in the Belgian pub league. Who's fault is that? Partly his and partly ours I guess. We'll never know how good he could have been, which will hurt him more in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I'll also say that Urhoghide went running becuase he knew he wouldn't get in the squad over a fit Iorfa and Dunkley. Weak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
