Apparently they’re going down the same route we are in squad assembly. Signing players for development and those dropping down from academies with a view to selling on for a profit.
Can’t understand why more clubs don’t follow this model!
Worked well for us so far! Suspect it's used as a guise to reduce the budget.
I think many clubs do this but do it in a balanced way. Going all out nursery has a low chance of succeeding.
Winning football matches drives revenue growth at this level. If you do that you also showcase the talent. A player from a shit team will never command a much of a fee.
Wouldn't surprise me if Artell went there given those comments.
