if selling all our better players is the direction we are taking ,increasing our worldwide and home scouting network and buying good scottish and foreign youngsters and increasing the amount of 1st team football they play is the only way we will progress .if its good enough for ajax (3 european cups ,i think??? ).i think eventually the big bucks in england ,spain etc. will run out .it is starting to show at portsmouth and west ham etc . and the huge wages for mediocre players will eventually come down (then mibbe we could afford to buy mediocrity instead of pish).i agree most fans would rather watch a team of talented and promising youngsters than a team of daillys and mcculloughs.
