Finch FarmI think they will spend decent money in January to avoid the drop but actually believe the project will be very different to the City one. I don’t think they will make Galatico signings but will go for younger high potential from Europe and PL sides outside the top 6 to start with. where I am very jealous is the infrastructure changes they will make. Academy, Training facilities, stadium
Our problem is we are in an arms race we can’t compete in. Over the last few years we should have been focusing on the Academy and and recruitment process. Marketing ourselves as the go to club in the North west catchment area for young talent by showing a pathway to the first team. I stand to be corrected but I would say we are bottom in terms of the quality coming out of the academy out of the big 4 in the north west. This could have given us a way to be semi competitive without being able to go toe to toe in the transfer market.
Turning it back to our manager. His appointment is looking like a smart move as he is an experienced safe pair of hands who can oversee this transition period into the new stadium. Hopefully he can deliver a cup along the way

The academy should always be looking to improve. It's not all doom and gloom, mate.
