I hear what you say Danny but, as a club that hasn't the cash to splash, surely home grown players could be part of the answer.
Although, admittedly not if they all turn out like 'Sado'.
I remember that many years ago some clubs survived, not through gate money but, by developing youngsters who, in many instances, were sold on to create wealth for the club.
Burnley in the old first division were particularly successful at this.
But, the FA needs to protect the interests of those Clubs who invest in Youth Academies and stop the 'poaching' of players by the favoured few.
for ridiculous fees.
