September 11, 201510 yr apologies if there is a thread for this but the john stone saga has got me thinking. clubs like everton and especially southampton have managers, coaches and a structure where they are not overly concern about the talents they are developing if they don't turn it on in matches they allow them to want of a word to blossom with more gametime. when they do they get those higher up the food chain casting admiring glances. i can understand that these clubs have no real pressure to win titles and cups like others so are better place to follow this route especially since they cannot compete financially. i can understand united throwing money to ensure top 4 status because they need the wins to ensure commercial gains for the glazers but do we need to be like that? i feel because we have someone like abramovich who loves football and is so rich that he can afford to allow our starlets to blossom like the aforementioned clubs. after all we have won every top honour in football already. in the past many managers did follow this course and i understand that the commercial gains are high in relevant to them winning honours in this present day but like i said previous sentence. maybe this is tosh but i hate seeing us chasing and getting humiliated with failure.
