under the tinTerminal Boardom Thing is, with no money about, if BMcD was removed, who would want to come in knowing that funds for new players was non-existant? Also, which players would want to come if they knew that there was no visible sign of ambition?
That's very pertinent.
Competitive sportsmen generally react very positively to the strenghtening of a team, because they want to be associated with success.
When the perception of these same people is that the team they are involved with is stagnating, that's when the talent drains away.
It is for this reason I am convinced that we will end up losing our box office players. We all understand that players are transient, and move on for a variety of reasons every year. What bothers me is that when I look at our playing assets, I see something that is akin to an MFI dining table.
There's a very thin veneer of quality, covering much cheaper materials.
Well said.
The constant spouting of there is no money from the club (or more accurately they won't invest any money) is hugely detrimental. Nobody would want to join a club like this, our decent players won't want to stay and worst of all te players we have realise they're not going to be replaced by better models so aren't going to try.
