They're business men with a business model that isn't working on any level. It's not providing short term returns nor long term sustainability. How many of these potentials have broken through? There has been at least seven potentials brought in during FSG's time of an age that now one would expect to see them breaking through yet they've neither been sold for a profit nor broken through to the first team. They're sitting in obscurity somewhere. The business model isn't working and FSG for the sake of their own profits, never mind the club's success, need to revaluate it if this season ends in failure.
Like I said they're prepared to give them time, if Brendan wants them they'll stay even, if it takes 2 or 3 seasons to make it into the 1st team, so be it. We haven't made a profit because none of Brendans buys have been sold but we had offers for 2 of them and both would have shown a profit if they'd gone.
The obscurity they've gone to is called getting game time, which they badly need and they wouldn't have got if they were here. There are reasons to do this, prep them for the 1st team if they show an improvement, they'll come into the squad to fight for their place. If they aren't good enough to keep and we get offers they'll be sold but I doubt we'll lose much, if anything, on any of them.
It's too early for them to think the plan isn't working even if the fans think otherwise, like I said they're businessmen, they don't think like we do.
