I get what you are saying Hudds but our club, or any club in the Championship, is in a position to change what happens with DR. You can argue they could all stop using it but the fact is that clubs can save money and improve the quality of their teams by using it.
"What our BOD are thinking is beyond me" - At the moment I imagine they are thinking we need to survive in this division at all costs, if we go down I imagine we go belly up its really that simple. Also in my opinion we have used DR pretty well and Leeds have given is some good players. Yeah its not ideal but again with the team we had and the injuries we have had we were pretty much nailed on for relegation. We are working out of that mess at the moment which is what we all want and it don't really matter how we do it if it gives the club a chance of survival.
With regards to the tournament I think originally set up where it were for lads who were not associated with any SL clubs. With the hush hush surrounding that the reality is that Fax will not have a chance of signing those majority of lads first time round and will get more chance when they are released by SL acadamies. As we have seen recently with our "project" players, we really do not have a set up that can afford to carry more than 1 or 2 unproven players. There maybe that opportunity through the college but unless we have a reserves set up(which we can't afford), as much as this looks good its hard to say what the longterm result is going to be.
As for the game with Haven I think we will win this one comfortably although if Maizen plays he will be out to prove a point to Finn after he refused the opportunity to bring him back recently.
