The biggest plus for me is the obvious improvement in our recruiting strategies. We are getting younger/quicker and if we manage contracts properly we will be building talent that we can sell to look for the next generation. The Darling debacle CANNOT be repeated!!
The unknown is how many of our youngsters can step up to the first team squad and be viable options off the bench. If there are 6-8 ready we are in great shape (keeper, Parker A,Parker S, Cotterill, Lissah, Congreve, Lloyd, Govea, Wilson, Thomas etc)
We HAVE to be better, have a strategy and avoid panic buys - Christie, Pederson, Tjoe A On, Kuharevych, Yates, McLaughlin etc have sucked very important resources out of our club.
