    Not sure I should respond, or what the response should be, to MTs post, but fwiw
    ...

    I don't have the ability to travel very far, on a pension and (quite recently), no vehicle and public transport simply isn't feasible ( either to ER or the more local away games, and with the away game ticket allocations even Southampton isn't possible). Not saying MT knows my (or anyone else's) situation, just don't make assumptions?

    I don't want wise words from those who have no responsibility for team matters at LUFC, I want to see how they are going to deal with a start to the season that, as Bathlad has outlined, is very far from where we need to be, and worse by far from that of our first season back in the PL.

    Neither do I want some psychobabble from anyone not directly responsible for how those in the U23s are to be "promoted" to the first team, short of a collection of injuries and suspensions which doesn't strike me as how you MANAGE such activity.

    If the club, as opposed to MT or her mum, have a response and read these posts (oh yeah?)? then by all means put the reply in these threads.

    Lastly, for now, the issue of mental well being, in particular for the younger players. Just how is the well-being of the likes of Shackleton, Gelhardt and Creswell being managed when they see players brought in directly to the 1st team, with no experience whatsoever of English leagues, and see those very same players prove incapable of meeting the physical challenges of those leagues, and yet they get no such opportunity?

    BTW, what I want is one thing, what I expect in nothing at all.

    And if you want to see a REAL prospect that cost Brighton about what we paid for Firpo, watch Cucurella up against Leicester, THATS a worthy replacement for Alioski, if we don't think the U23s have it.

    I watch the Everton winger cost 1.5 to Costa 15 Harrison 15 mil and James 30 lol They are gems out there and in England but will never get a chance, as the game has gone all money the big clubs have to buy ready-made foreigners.

    And, as if we need reminding, Scum paid £19m for Ronaldo, we paid £26m for Rodrigo, who did the better business?

    19 million quid and he will be on 50 million over 2 seasons plus a percentage on his CR7 range.

    That is the reality and the reality is we can not compete with any of the top 6 at this moment in time.

    Thing is, put Ronaldo's psyche alongside Bielsas and OMG you have a true force of nature, two individuals with a phenomenal thirst for excellence and perfection in executing what the beautiful game requires, scoring goals. Skolskaer won't offer that, nor will the Glazers, we could have?

    Forgot nearly all the teams are foreign-owned. Should start a threadSpot all UK clubs.
