cabbles said:I agree with the earlier comments about hungry players and the Curbs model. I know football has changed dramatically since Curbs built the team to get us out of the Championship in the late 90s, and the sorts of money footballers get these days are crazy, but there must be a way to build a competitive team without going into silly territory when it comes to the balance sheet. I mentioned the Sheff Utd and Burnley models on here before, and I think Wilder and Dyche may share some of the same values that Bowyer does as a manager. Both Dyche and Wilder seem to get players and teams that are working toward the goal of unified success as a team, as opposed to a group of talented individuals each doing their thing inconsistently.
Fosu was a great example. Bowyer pretty much froze him out last season, despite the run in we had and the fact he opted for the likes of Josh Parker ahead of him. I genuinely believe that there are loads of decent gems out there that may take the step up from the lower leagues, like Lockyer & Taylor have, and you only need to combine that with a few bigger players to get success.
We probably don't want to do what Fulham did a few years ago or what Villa did last year and spend millions, because a) I don't think it fits with what our club is all about, and b) it's so risky.
I think a lot owners in football now are past the invest loads of money in the hope it gets them to the Championship, because the last few years are littered with failures, Chansiri at Sheff Wed, Notts Forest etc.
I truly believe there is a more conservative way to get success
Can also add Norwich to your list. I don’t believe they spent heavily before becoming champions last season. Pukki, for instance, was a free transfer.2 -

it’s also for me about hoping football club owners in the Championship realise how hard a League it is to win promotion from. Derby spent £10m on Bielik to probably finish mid table, maybe just outside the play offs.2 -

I love this league and would like to be competitive in it, but not at the risk of losing everything.
We also need to build steadily. Look at the team West Brom put out, just shows the strength, and particularly the depth, of players required to be at the top. Five year plan is reasonable. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Three players to freshen up the squad is essential. More will be a bonus.

Until football finances are sorted out there will always be ridiculously skewed financial risks for clubs outside of the elite who gain Premier League status and then get relegated. That’s the way football is and the big prize is still getting into the a Premier League regardless of the potential catastrophic risks.1
