So what you are suggesting is to keep doing as we are doing then. As you have said, we already are signing those players to go alongside our own academy products and as we have the budget, the more experienced, proven players such as Law, Martin and good L2 level players such as Bowman, Fisher, Atangana.What I would like to see happening is a scouring of the non leagues, premiershite, and championship offloads/fringe players and signing some of these potential players, like we have done with Luke Smerdon and to some extent Randell Williams and Lewis Ward bring them in alongside our academy players so that they can help keep the gravy train moving, but faster, similar in a fashion to what Brentford have done but without ditching the academy. It sounds like we are getting the resources available to monitor the talent that is out there we just need to bring it in and on for the benefit of ECFC
Along those lines but being more noticeably active in the signing and development market so that players who have been previously identified with potential and suffer the setback of being released, or are slightly late developers can see us as a way to progress their careers and be part of this great club.So what you are suggesting is to keep doing as we are doing then.

I expect two players to leave in January and maybe one coming in. Our business will be dependent on departures I think.Who or what position(s) do you think the club will be looking to sign or move on in January?
Which two are you thinking?I expect two players to leave in January and maybe one coming in. Our business will be dependent on departures I think.
I guess you would look at the ones that don’t play many minutes but then having said that, they would still have to find a clubTillson for one. K think the second will be a surprise!
Not much point then is there200k?????
20k more like it.
I think what you are suggesting is that we should sign players like David Wheeler (from non league) and Jayden Stockley ( from higher up the pyramid). They are then developed to go on to score 20 goals in a season and move on for a profit exceeding half a million pounds each.What Martin has highlighted is that for us to compete unfortunately we are still a trading club, we develop young talent put them in the shop window sell them and move on to the next talent for the next deal. The increase in attendances is good and probably means we are currently about 100k to the good for this season but what would that get us one player maybe two, or extend our time before we run a deficit budget. If attendances slump the finances move the other way and our budget deficit comes to roost sooner.
If some of the windfalls come in then that could help in the short term, extend the budget deficit time scale, sign some normally unaffordable player/s for a season or two to help generate greater income through the gates and get some success, but at the end of the day we are not going to get away from the fact that our income will need to be bolstered by player sales.
