Money Talks !
20 miles west of Hull isn’t the back of beyond.
If kr can attract players like they did
Then why can’t we.
I mean a 1980s x 3 stand ground on Preston Road versus a 21st century stadium.
It's not just money though where Rovers are concerned. As much as I don't like it, they have three key things going for them at the moment: money, ambition and a plan.
We currently have one of those things: a plan. One that involves developing youngsters and getting them into the team in the near future. Money wise, no one really knows what's going on as yet regarding the investment so we might not be in a position to let money do the talking. Ambition wise, Myler is certainly downplaying things at the moment and whilst I think that is a good thing after the bullishness of recent years from Pearson, it's perhaps not a great sell to players.
Another difference is that Rovers had already hit the bottom of their downward slide by the time they started attracting players. I think the jury is still out on whether that is the case for us. I certainly hope we have hit rock bottom and I'm sorry to add to the doom and gloom element of it all but I don't think we're in the same position as they were at this time.
