You probably don't want to know either, the financial disparities in football means some leagues are as poor as a church mouse & rife with corruption.
A healthy parachute payment club in this league will have more money going through it's coffers in one season than some entire east European countries top flight leagues, & even Greek top flight Olympiacos, serial winners & frequent participants in Europe, will probably earn about 50% of the domestic TV revenue of one of the more watched teams in our division this season.
That's why some leagues permit virtually no losses, & hand out punishments that would have relegated us & possibly destroyed us in our troubled times.
Sometimes we don't know how lucky we are.
Quote:The biggest area that has suffered for us and where we are way behind is a proper player recruitment strategy. Brentford do a fabulous job in this area
Ironically last year we parted company with the guy who started that project with Matthew Benham 10 years ago.
:cool:
Hmm...I'd take Brentford's long term view. Their recruitment has been eye-catching.
But it's the same old chestnut. Get the right people. Stick with it. Give it time.
