Yes we are a feeder club, I'm a bit surprised people still have to ask. Up to us to wheel and deal as smartly as we can.
Seems to me that pretty much all clubs are, with the exception of the top few. Even Arsenal.

But what does that say about us ? Are we just going to settle for mid-table mediocrity, with the odd plunge into Europe, or will we once again become the club we once were ?
We need to get to that level, and hopefully by buying low and selling high we'll eventually get into that position.

We'll never be able to hang on to players long enough for us to make that massive step up.

It might take a long time, but it's possible. It's our only hope really, it may not come off but may as well give it a go.
