Manager not players

[Sclox]

A well run club is the key to success. Brighton are a perfect example. Regularly selling their best players for huge fees whilst scouting the globe for the next wonderkid to sign on the cheap then nurture and develop into stars.

When Potter left for Chelsea, many expected them to struggle but they had a plan, got the right replacement in and improved again. Dan Ashworth was a key player in putting their structure in place and having him on board is a great signing for us.

Weren't Southampton thought of in this light too? Selling a never ending stream of talent, now look where its got them. To a degree us as well. Inevitable relegation catches up and theres no progress. It happened to Southampton and look at how teams covet the Brighton players now - they'll lose some and then back to square one. Horrible for a fan.

Saints are similar but in their case, they changed ownership levels and then lost a fair few backroom staff. . . So that will have had a massive impact on their DNA.
