Just to add about short and long term plans in football
There are no long term plans in football for a club like ours
Some say that we should forget about promotion, take our time and build a team from youth that will compete in the long term
At the end of the day the game is about the present here and now, not jam tomorrow which never comes.
Promotion even with a crap team that gets hammered will bring money into the club. The real currency in football is money not style of play. Norwich have raided the top division once again, and the rewards of a big war chest that will keep them going for a few more years and keep them competitive in our division.
Gone are the days when you could mould a young team and manager and watch them develop together.
Most of our promising kids ( and other clubs ) get picked off anyway well before they mature.
