In our peculiar pressure cooker of a goldfish bowl, I can’t see it catching on. The demand for success will always mean tried & tested is bought in over home grown. Witness our chance to do it as we came back up the leagues. Loving all the metaphors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good practice in our style for promotion to first team, how to deal with abh attempts and the like.

I can't remember any one of our past Managers ever seriously adopting this approach at this type of bridge between colts and first team .... the percentage has always proven to be too low. It's not even a valid argument ..... and anyone who says it is has to be crazy as the facts have been there to see forever ....most buy in rather than promote as you say. The only way any young player gets from colt to first team is .... and always has been .... on his ability alone fuck all else matters. Your post is spot on and is all the evidence anyone needs to prove this to be the fact of the matter. 🇬🇧 Thanks mate - I really think the concept should work, in any normal circumstance, but sadly, it’s us v them. This is no developmental experience - it’s dog eat dog. This particular dog is sick of getting chewed up! And if we’re expected to wait four or five years while our colts burst through to challenge the tarriers well, we aren’t exactly renowned for our patience, are we?

bluenoz 30,836 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I've had a change of thought on this. We ain't changing the league standings so we use this as a bribe to get the spfl to agree with us since they will do anything to avoid a law suit and we get a Colts team. Also, I think it is more beneficial to the young players progression to keep them together rather than having them scattered all over the place to diddy clubs.

We should be looking at how financially beneficial it will be for us .If we gain in a financial and footballing sense (ie decent gate money and squad progression), then I am happy to go for it . If it costs us .....fuck them .I don't care if lower leagues gain a benefit from us having a B team there , as long as we are . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also actually a clever way to increase influence by sweetening clubs' attitudes towards us. Looks food for us and lots of others will benefit.

For us the benefit will be bringing through players far better equipped for the first team, even if it costs a little more in doing so. I'm not bothered in a supportive sense about how much the other clubs get, I'm wondering more if this is the tipping point in the reconstruction talks which was always coming down to money.

Jb85 1,783 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 It'll be good experience for our youth. Possible guaranteed sell outs for when the first team aren't playing or playing away. Only problem would be teams missing out on promotion for another year maybe two if we and them were to win the league in a row. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
