Have little sympathy when you choose not to have any youth teams.

We both have players out, we use our youngsters whilst you choose to sign a big squad including average journey men.

As you well know , you get 1 st pick of the juniors in your area , we don't , we've had players on our scholarship like Joe Burgess and Tommy Makinson , can we retain them ? No , so we were constantly try to make silk purses out of ( no disrespect ) sows ears
