Transfer embargo & UEFA ban....

[Darthter 542]

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I don't think a transfer ban and possible UEFA ban would be a totally bad thing for the long term future of the club.

 

Any potential new owner has to stabilise the finances of the club - of that there is no doubt. However, under normal circumstances, the first thing that fans would expect is new players. This was certainly the case when Craig Whyte took over. Whilst we know that the squad needs attention, do we REALLY want to start spending money straight away on new players???

 

European football also adds to the situation above. Its guaranteed that there will be no Euro footie next season, but possibly the season after. IMHO, this is an added pressure to the transfer side of things. A new owner will be under pressure to get a team capable of competing in Euro as quickly as possible. The only surefire way of doing that is buying talented new player - more expenditure!!!

 

My view is that the club takes advantage of the bans/embargoes over the next couple of years in order to build a a good stable club, that is operating within domestic limits. Take the time to develop younger talent, and embed them into the 1st team, rather then looking for a quick fix for the team. Focus should be placed on the scouting network, looking for promising/talented youngsters (18/19 yr olds) who can be given game time with the 1st team. They should also be looking at in-house development. Ensuring that the training/teaching methods employed are getting the most out of the youths that the club currently has.

 

By the time the embargoes & bans are then clear, we should have a rock solid team, firstly capable of competing in the SPL, which can then be built upon to ensure greater ongoing success both on the pitch & financially!!!
