Push comes to shove in list spots, which it will, I would fully support the club backflipping in this crazy agreement with Sandringham.
An agreement which they have not held up their end of the bargain by providing any viable options. Is it worth losing a Membrey, Hayes, Crouch, Hotton, Paton who are very worthy of a list spot just for a fake 9 month contract? No, it is not.
Is it worth the vitriol we would cop for reneging? This year.. yes. And who cares about being disliked at this point..
People will say “build it and they will come” and sure I get it. But like any great policy or rule, there are regulations and checks and we need to have a minimum standard or some caveats to avoid the impending shotgun to the foot this year.
I understand the concept but it is just too detrimental and in its infancy to fully back it.
Think we should come out and say we’re not doing it this year and will reconsider next year. Looks far worse if we try and fudge it
