Maybe the best way forward is a group of talented youngsters progressing together inside the team?
The other way would be massive investments in the squad... Ooops! That was what we just did. Bummer!
Our only chance of competing is now trying find youngsters who can develop into good players, bit like the Fowler, McMananaman, Redknapp, Jones group or like United did with Scholes, Beckham and the Nevilles e.t.c. because we will never be able to compete financialy with United, City and Chelsea...
