How does our club survive if we build it from loans?

We're a club that has historically survived by nurturing talent and selling on to bigger clubs.

If none of the players are ours who do we sell to balance the books?

Also if its so easy to just bring in players for 3 months what the point in investing in a youth team?

If every club takes this attitude then where are the next English players going to come from?

Premiership clubs fill their youth teams with talent sourced from around the globe. Without clubs like Norwich investing in English talent where will our future England players come from.
