A little bit dramatic at the end I would have said.

Having so many 30+ year-olds on 2-year contracts is only as "alarming" as regularly producing good quality academy graduates is reassuring. Yes, playing higher up the pyramid and all that entails revenue-wise is the surest route to investment in better players, but short of that, a thriving academy conveyor belt to the first team where you know you can cash in if you really have to, is a pretty good second place.

'but many of the signings are likely to be on big wages, and short-team deals of no more than a season or two'

- We we're limited by both how much we could offer and for how long.

'The issue with this is that they have very few players who are their own permanent players with genuine re-sale value on the right side of 30'

- so its a good thing the over 30s are on short contracts then?

'Short-termist signings are not the answer for The Rams. They need to build on their academy’s core foundation' 

- again, max contract allowed was 2 years. Our academy was gutted and we almost went out of business.  What do they expect, magic?

 

Bit of a flawed article imo, no real understanding of the desperate situation we were in and the restrictions we remain under.

Not worth the time it took to read.  The idiot is clueless.
