Surely it has no bearing on what the playing budget will be, these schemes are surely funded by the FA and as such will have the strictest of caveats, do's and don'ts attached to them
We have to play within our means, and only the manager will decide who is good enough or not regardless of how, where or why they arrive at the ground and if that to some, borders on he mediocrity then unfortunately so be it.
We simply can't afford to raid the prem for players and the nearest Conf North team to us where we could possibly poach/compete players are GT and.............Histon?
All the rest are miles away, so what is a manager supposed to do, in my eyes the only thing he can do is strike a balance, we cant ask for any more than that, and once that is accepted can do nothing more than hope that it will be good enough
