I remember reading an article 7-8 years ago about how so many of the secondary leagues (Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium etc) were being competitively killed due to champions league money supporting the winning club over and over. The earth disparity was leading to multiple leagues with 4-5-6-7 in a row champions and no signs of it ending.
But then the article switched tone and highlighted in Greece where AEK I believe reversed the trend by hoovering up all the young talent in Greece and persisting/building with them over 1-2-3 seasons. Culminating in them breaking the dynasty using a back bone of young hungry talented kids they wouldn’t necessarily given a chance to before.
Should we be looking at the approach scattering in some senior pros with a host of young kids? Bailey Rice for example gets rave reviews but we never see him. Or Lennon Miller at motherwell getting massive reviews about being a superstar - should we be buying these guys and building longer term?
For those who will reply our kids aren’t good enough - I’m talking actively going and hoovering up all the young Scottish talent throughout the league to supplement our own.
