I couldn't be arsed to articulate myself properly because there are so many tossers on here you could breed a new generation of spastics.
You'd be well at home then.
Hooray the academy's a success, but so is Crewe' - the real success is in the results we get...at least it should be for the fans.
It got Crewe 15 years of punching above their weight - 8 of those well above their weight at championship level. It takes the same kind of idiot who regards eventually slipping back to the 4th tier as an indication of their failure as one who regards us slipping back to being average for this division as being failure for us.
'The fact that some will eventually move on to higher things isn't ideal'? You mean all of them worth any salt? Are you happy that Madejski rakes it in off the back of the academy year in year out?
Well if you imagining Madejski is stealing money from the club pisses you off, then I'm happy about it, yes.
What will happen when we inevitably run out of players on the production line as it will happen - even the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool don't produce players EVERY year?
If we have no players to sell then we'll have to lower the wage bill, or cut back in other areas. Until then it'll allow us to field a team we couldn't afford to field if we weren't selling.
I'm done wailing, I just don't go anymore because I don't want to line the chairman's pockets
you don't want to go any more because you are a fair-weather supporter who is only interested when we are winning.
, it just fills me with a sense of disgust that a club and chairman I once had so much time for have turned into such a sham. Maybe I'm being naive, but I thought that running a club as a business included looking at the long term and not making a quick buck every year.
...and this "long term" business plan you envisage....does it involve losing millions every year and pretending it doesn't matter?
