I think there is a plan, don’t think it has come from the owners. They just want to stop leaking money. Only way to do that is to become sustainable. Could say the same when Chelsea bought Lukaku back for 90 million and he’s was terrible.

I agree it does need to be a blend. Once the development players get developed they won’t be development players. The club is actually pursuing it. It’s a long term goal.

that’s when you reinvest the money back into squad. Not all the money but some of it in order to buy equally good young players. we have the system in place now? The recruitment department is fully staffed.

Got to dream big, why not? we don’t have the cash to buy our way out of the championship, only way to do it is to develop young players thus developing the team and then if you get a big offer re invest some of that money into the team. Yea the reinvestment part hasn’t happened previously but I’m hoping moving forward, a decent sum from a player will be reinvested back into the squad.

Could be blind optimism yet 😂

For once I actually like the plan. to become a sustainable premier league club. takes time but would/will be fantastic if Broughton can pull it off.

It’s not, not immediately. Once you develop the said 18/19/20 year olds. Then you stand a chance.

I don’t have ultimate faith. Just glad there is what seems a plan in place and we are working towards that. Got to have a plan in place otherwise we will get no where.

Every recruitment team gets it’s wrong sometimes. Even the best teams in the world. Now we have a fully staffed recruitment team in post, I would like to think we will get most transfers correct - will never be 100%. he’s working from the owners strategic plan. To be a sustainable premiership club. You are only getting that through using the academy that we will be paying soon around 4 million for per year and buying young players to develop. Cant be buying established players unfortunately unless we get a bargain and the players come from a club who don’t pay a lot (Hyam)

He’s had clear progression within his career. Head of Academy recruitment Academy manager Academy director Holds both UEFA pro licence and Football Association Technical Director qualifications. Natural progression would be to take a sporting director role. He’s fully qualified to do the job.

He’s been in the post just over 6 months, is the head of several departments within Rovers. How can you judge his performance in such a short space of time? I like what’s he done so far and think given more time will be a great asset for the club.

Based on what?

Heard something….

Apologies, instrumental in their 15 game unbeaten run.

Bournemouth fans think Kilkenny has alot of potential. Shows for the ball and links play through the thirds. I’m willing to see how this one pans out. Was instrumental in the championship for them when they got promoted.

Wharton coming on.

Tyler Morton coming on.

Slab head again, such a clumsy mf.

Hand ball all day long by slab head.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?
