Tbf we probably could have told them that at the time, but fans like to ignore the realities if the team is doing well - whilst I'm big on infrastructure investment now, I'd have been completely on board with "get up first, plan later" in 2012. The Conference is tough to get out of and not all that easy to slip back into (as we proved last season by only playing for a third of the season and getting away with it).Percy plunkett wrote:We went along with Les just pumping money into the players budget.When he left,we realised that was wrong and money should have gone on the infrastructure.I hope we don't make the same mistake again.A small sum in the player fund but let's get this training ground that MF wants and plan ahead for a stronger foothold at RP or look at developing Spytty.
As long as we're not Portsmouth-style debt-building I'm ok with it, but ideally I want us to build a legacy and facilities-base.
