Tans been investing in the youth system a fair bit over the years , and I'm sure people are the club will have been telling him how good they are - so maybe he's thinking well let's see how good they actually are.
A weird thought- if we did go straight back up, with a really young side. packed with players from our academy - will people start to say we're a well run club? and other clubs would want to copy us?
that would be. hilarious really
