Or, God forbid, we could play one of the kids. Sorry, I forgot that they were all let go.
And they’ve all gone on to have flourishing careers……..or they just weren’t good enough.
The one flaw in that is that you cannot tell at 17/18 whether a player is going to be good enough and if they're allowed to drop down through the pyramid you'll often never know for sure what they could have achieved in the game. The top two divisions are littered with players let go by clubs at all levels who then went on to prove that decision wrong.
It's ok giving smug replies but, maybe, a little research would help.
