You have to start somewhere and if were honest we are a lower end of the championship team who has over acheived because of recruitment being decent also the players you are stating fit the model of sorts Brittain cheap sell high, travis academy sell high, dolan free should have been sold last summer or this for a fee, baath free so maybe it has begun?. It's always going to be a risk this model but with ffp we have no choice.
We can't be afraid to sell keep the lights on and then recruit hopefully if we are lucky with the players we get in they will be better than for example travis and next season we will be saying travis who?
