It'll take yrs going by our rate and we are not going to be able to do that without spending reasonable money on young up and coming players though and that brings its own risks, as you never know how players are going to develop I'd back the idea though, but now that we've broadcasted the fact by releasing that statement the selling clubs will all now know and adjust their terms for their player/s.

Yet there was a time when teams like Bournemouth, Brentford and even Brighton ironically were waxing lyrical about how we went about and did things.
Even Ian Holloway publicly said that every club with dreams should follow our model.
How things change!
