Thats a great article.

I feel exactly the same way.

I was born overlooking The Nest on Rosary road, I will never support another team regardless of what happens. I dont even enjoy watching other teams on the TV that much.

I also think he makes a good point that loan players cause a lot of problems.
I can understand why Roeder went for so many loans because when he got here he saw a really poor squad yet had no real money to buy players.
His only shot to avoid relegation was the loan market.
The mistake he made was not getting the younger players involved soon enough.

The problem with the current loan market from the prem is that its much poorer because of 7 subs.
Clubs are looking to hold on to more players.
The bigger clubs are using more players accross various competitions.

Even if we stay up we should go the route of developing our own young talent and buying from the lower leagues.
Going down we should sell Clingan and marshall as well as getting rid of a lot of the higher wage earners at the club.
This will stablize the club plus give us a little budget for
buying the Cody Macs of the football world.
You can tell the young players at the club are raw but so was Gibbs when he came here (and Bentley!), given a few games and a bit of experience its amazing how players can develop into decent players.
