We had Harvey Elliot in our academy as a kid. He was then poached by Fulham, who sold him to Liverpool as a 16 year-old for £4.3m. There's little point in having an academy if PL clubs can just take their pick of your best prospects for little compensation.
Maybe there should be an automatic 50% sell on clause 2.15 million from Fulham would have been quite nice
But they ddin't all have the stellar players that we had Stan. Everyone would have been a full international, and we woz robbed. It is sooooooo unfair.
l continue to thank my lucky stars that we were are to fend off clubs wanting Shaun Wright Phillips for so many years. I’d love to stay and chat but l’m running late for Annual Pathetical Liars Convention!
My concern too Beth. We've surely learnt, from the many many changes in the last fifteen years, that a change in personnel isn't always the solution. Agreed, but then does it require a lot more people to go and start again with a whole new team? Or re-structuring the club so it works from both a financial and football side? All just feels a bit cyclical. Many were pleased when Wright, Tango, Bernie and others high up left their positions, but it's seemingly made little or no difference.
Ask yourselves how Luton on a smaller budget have gone from the National League to the brink of the Premier League within a decade? Our whole set-up is flawed and will remain so whilst we continue with the current regime...
We can all get together in a select Gentleman’s Club and plan how to take on, and eliminate, £50m of debt, rescue the club and set out a 4-yr plan back to the holy grail of the Premier League. Takers please sign up below …
You multi millionaires are too self-interested in keeping your money … don’t be a wuss and let it lose for the betterment of the club and suffering fans Didley.
Who would be dumb enough to keep throwing good money after bad into the club? What is the plan? This is not going to end well.
Who would be dumb enough to to pay for **** football, played by **** footballers at a small ****ty run club with **** upper management? ...you got it,us the the for ever suffering fans
You excluded me with "select gentleman's club"... so me and my millions of pounds, which I have no idea what to do with....are out..SWR. sorry
We would have had plans to make you our first Chairwoman Beth. Your investment is however welcome - you are certain to get a very high return… sometime.
