Quote ="Funk-Doc"I know right, imagine picking up young, cheap British players that could turn out to be absolute gems in the game at the detriment of playing academy players who obviously just are not ready or good enough? bonkers!
It seems to get you all very wound up on here about our youth set up, lets see how you go in a couple of years when you can actually afford decent players and how many youth come through for you, you have a history of bigging up young players to be future superstars and many of them simply fall from grace very early.'"
If you look at it the other way though we deemed the likes of Lewis, Adbull, Litten and Hadley ‘not good enough’ when we had a semi decent side, to our detriment long term. FWIW I’m not sure Rovers will ever have to produce loads of players, McNichol has deep enough pockets but your current side only has a small window to win something, you’ll have a big rebuild at some point soon you’ll have to get right. We know that from experience.
