With the ability talent.

And years ahead to improve.

And as a result gain market value.

To make themselves therefore.

A selling.

As well as a buying club.

To play the football market.

It sounds fun.

And it is interesting.

But lots of clubs do it.

And it really isn't easy.

And it takes seasons.

Seasons.

We can see potential rewards in the policy, even this season in the emergence of Zach Swanson and Terry Devlin.

And even it could be argued on the profit made from Callum Lang's departure.

Even those players who failed at Fratton have mostly washed their faces, if you know what I mean by that.

They've paid for themselves pretty much.

as they depart, although the same can't be said for, I suppose, Tom McIntyre, who I gather is now playing for Aberdeen, but to no benefit for us, and Abdulla Kamara, although I did somehow, I think I did actually see a line or two that said that we did actually get some value

back for him but probably by no means anywhere near what he cost us to bring over but all that is the reason for their failures is because this is not obviously an exact science this bringing on of young footballers young footballers are complicated they have weird minds and lives and futures some of them

But it's a strategy, and I, for one, support it.
