Yeah, the where it's gone is mostly players and agents

With some infrastructure thrown in.

The issue with this model is always going to be that it's great when recruitment is going well, but a series of signings that don't work out / don't have good sell on value damages it.

But really, it's so incredibly hard to build success with no room for inevitable transfer error.

Finally we have 4 CBs, two right and two left footed. Balanced (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 10:35:37
- Irish CB I’d try to get is young Cashin from Derby (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Jun 9, 11:26:38
- In practical terms, we only have 3 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 10:44:53
  - Hanley may never recover sadly (NCFC) - paulg, Jun 9, 11:08:33
    - #prayforhanley (n/m) (NCFC) - Lager top, Jun 9, 11:47:18
  - Probably back October/November time so we can go with 3 till then (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 10:47:26
    - People struggle to recover from that injury (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 10:48:25
      - If Hanley is ever back it won't be at least until early next year. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chicken, Jun 9, 16:01:17
      - About a third never recover enough to play professionally (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 10:59:00
- Hanley may not play at this level again and Andy O off so… (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 10:41:04
  - Would think Andy O and Duffy will be the first choice. Hanley/Gibson fine as backup (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 10:45:06
    - Isn't the expectation that Andy O will be sold? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 10:46:28
      - if we can get decent money, sell at the top of the market ... (NCFC) - paulg, Jun 9, 11:10:22
      - Not sure he's done enough at this level to get a big move (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 10:48:31
      - Yea Webber said he expects him to be sold (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jun 9, 10:48:01
        
        Thought that was Max, I would take 25 million for Andy but not sure we'll get that now (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 10:55:56
        
        He said both expected to leave (NCFC) - jamesward, Jun 9, 10:58:44
        
        Although I understand the position (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 9, 11:06:36
        
        More a necessity rather than desire I would think (NCFC) - Azteca, Jun 9, 12:20:55
        
        I thought the idea was that it would attract young talented players to the club (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 12:04:52
        
        If we are at the point (NCFC) - Chair_of_the_Bored, Jun 9, 11:37:04
        
        Or cash in on a player that maybe won't fulfil the potential someone else will pay for? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 12:06:29
        
        Think the comments about receiving the bid for Andy were ill-advised (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jun 9, 11:12:56
        
        That is surely a discussion that Webber has already had with Andy though (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 12:09:15
        
        I did say that it's just a job (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 9, 12:48:37
        
        Are we financially in bother, or is it just life as a Champ side without a wealthy owner? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 13:08:50
        
        I don't think we're in bother as such (NCFC) - CWC, Jun 9, 14:47:13
        
        Yeah, the where it's gone is mostly players and agents (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jun 9, 14:50:41
        
        It's the other side of the coin (NCFC) - camcan, Jun 9, 17:14:03
        
        and good old Soccerbot (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Jun 9, 14:56:11
        
        I'm not believing we had that record offer for him last year (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jun 9, 11:08:52
