It is not uncoincidental that these clubs are sometimes the ones who are very vocal in complaining about other clubs recruiting policies.
My message to them is the same as it has been for many seasons, get of your arses and get your own house in order and stop relying on outside agencies to do your recruiting for you.
This also means getting quality qualified coaches for all your teams not just your 1sts. How else will you lower grade players get prepared for promotion.
It is all good congratulating teams on promoting their youth but if they don't have a youth team then the congratulations are pointless.
