I don't have a problem recruiting experienced players, especially in L1, you can't win that league without experience as we've proven in all three of our recent title wins (all of which were won with an experienced core).
The issue is that when we do go young, far more often that not we get it wrong and this needs to change. I don't know many worse than us when it comes to signing lower league players or players from Scotland. The happy clappers can no longer play the McCarthy/McArthur/Moses cards anymore, it's been over ten years! We got unlucky with a couple of the Cook players who ended up sold on the cheap due to administration but apart from them, I genuinely can't remember the last lower league/Scottish based player we bought for a fee who went on to turn us a big profit. That has to change if the club is to become sustainable.
So ... we haven't ever done this ... except for the time when we did it superbly when we were in the Prem ... and then when we did it a couple of years ago, and got kneecapped by administration ... but except for those occasions, we've never done it.
Fair do.
*Must remember to double check if the following played for us: Wildschutt, Grigg, Burn.
