I absolutely agree with the idea of younger players on full time deals, developing and improving all the time. I just can't see how we can possibly do it on our budget. With a budget of 250K, we'd be able to afford 17 players on 300 per week, and that is hugely concerning. I've no idea what the average player in the conference north earns, but I imagine the good ones are on a lot more than that? The idea is great, I just worry we'll be physically outmuscled by superior players and be relegated by March. The new manager will undoubtedly have to use the long term loans with maximum effect, we could have 4 season long loans at no cost to the club and then beef that up with some shorter term loan deals later on in the year to cover injuries etc. It can be done Hope you're right. It's definitely the ideal way forward, I'm just concerned of the logistics of it all. Good point on loan deals too. We haven't utilised the market very well in recent years. Lewis and Nathan Turner were both good examples of long-term deals that benefited both us and the players. |

And any external investment would be a bonus. |

The next manager will decide which model we go for based on the budget he will be given. I cannot seriously see any prospective manager agreeing to the role and being led by an inexperienced bunch on the FWG. Any "heel digging in" will only result in us looking for yet another manager before the season even starts.

Well there we are; a resounding win for the hybrid model. But what do we know?
As much as the football working group, maybe 😉

tbh Danny, i trust the manager (whoever that is) and his decision. They'll obviously go for whichever model they believe is most effective so I'll agree with you there. |

The issue here being that the manager is appointed by the board. If the board are unwilling to change their views on the full-time model, then they will choose a manager who favours that approach, whether it is right or wrong. |

Surely, at thus stage, we shouldn't be ruling any option either in or out. I'm sure that on the shortlist will be managers who would be OK with any model and, indeed, can demonstrate a suitable track record but to doggedly stick to the full-time mantra, to me, is beginning to look like pre-empting the outcome. Let the applicants put their views across during the interviews, take on board what's being said and then we can be a little more confident about taking the right decision. |

The interviews have begun this week, would richard banksy or any other registered board member be kind enough to advise us which board members are sitting on the interview panel? |

Two big unknowns at the moment that will have a big impact on the decision, the new manager and the amount of investment if any.
Also what is the impact on the academy of not being full time, surely the youngsters would want to be training with more experienced pros to advance their career. A drop down a league is going to be a bad enough impact as it is, though again it depends on the investment for the number and quality of these pros .
