The entire way we get a team on the park must change.
Youth system, recruitment, trading are utterly useless.
No more "squad player" as a euphemism for not being good enough but he'll have to do if someone gets injured. Players must be good enough or at least have potential to be good enough to challenge for a starting place every game. The people in charge of our recruitment of late have been truly awful.
No more James Sands or Keiran Dowells.
Players must be sold while they retain value even if that's unpopular. The difficulty, of course is in ensuring that a suitable replacement is waiting to step in, but if you get the first bit right it finances the other.
At a higher level Brighton sold 2 players for fortunes but remain a top half PL team.
No more Alfredos or Ryan Kents going for nothing.
The quality of footballers we have recruited in recent years has financially hamstrung us. It will hinder us for years to come
No more Jose Cifuentes or Cyriel Dessers'.
To get to that position will take years but it must start now.
