The inability to unearth cheap hidden gems is a major problem

for our model. Means you can can only buy players from top leagues who haven't really shone (Sargent and Rashica were poor last season), aren't that good (PLM) or are seemingly too raw to be ready for the Prem (Tzolis). And they'll still cost £10m, not the initial £1.5m we paid for Emi.

Although we should be doing better than we are, it's increasingly obvious there's simply no way the club's desire of being a self-funded / fan-funded Prem club is possible.

BMTP for when we win five in a row.
