I think we will be OK, and I welcome any youngsters that play whatever the reasoning, but the narrative coming out of the club, in my opinion anyway, seemed to suggest that there would be a focus on youth etc, and I found that to be like a politicians lie tbh, selling it as something they had planned to do, when let's be honest it's been forced on them. Mick is here cos he can work with a small budget, and the small budget is why we will see youth, not because the club all of a sudden decided that was our new direction. Plenty on here seemed to fall for it getting excited about it.
