I'm not a fan of coaching and so its immaterial to me who comes and who leaves. Playing by numbers and a coaching manual is not my idea of playing this game and never was. Also just to add and nobody has yet disproved my thesis that your academy can only get what generally is available locally and why its actually a poor and expensive idea when you can see what is available when they are mid to late ****s across the world actually. Whether they would come here is another question? Its good to ask yourself at each match, which of the away team players are better or perform better than ours. Our results over the last few seasons doesn't lie.
BTW, I heard at the end of the match at Colchester DA had to tell his players to come back and go over the Crewe Fans who had obviously travelled a long long way and must have been expensive as well. To me this shows that players are not interested in the fans and are only interested in their next club for higher pay of course. Its at all levels, not just Crewe though. Players should NOT have to be told to do that on short away trips, never mind long ones. and shows DA heart is in the right place and cares about things like that and the fact that if he is struggling to get them to play its not because he is poor but because the players are not up to it....The fact that the club has spent millions on some of these players who have come through the academy and then can't be ars*ed to pay some of it back again by signing contracts until the last minute, should p*ss all the fans off and so who cares what they want and where they go next!
