Agree!!!

To summarise, the future is now!  ;D

Not exactly sure how playing senior players out of position and exposing too many young players in the midfield constitutes playing for the future, but that was what we were doing.

Making winning a priority is the best way to educate and develop young players and create a culture that leads to long term success.

Nearly all sports people I have had anything to do with love winning. It becomes like a drug when you repeatedly succeed. Ultra competitive sports people crave it.

Thankfully we are now striving for it.

It reeks to me of trying to stamp one's authority JH.

And I agree, winning is the best strategy....

Playing guys out of position and winning as a short term benefit more likely pushes into the heart of the debate about building a team to finish 9th versus a squad that can win a flag!

And Bolton was addressing that how exactly that showed ANY indication that his way was a better way to win a flag.

Spurious.

It's as valid as the counterargument, perhaps even more as it's supported by the earlier statements from SOS, when he discussed the difficulties of building a list and developing youth to win a flag instead of just being competitive mid-tier.

I repeat - and what evidence is there to suggest anything Bolton was doing was moving us along ANY sort of pathway to that goal?

Or have I missed your point (again)?

What's the evidence he wasn't, ........ kapisch?

Your argument is bilateral, so in effect worthless, arbitrary, it doesn't contribute anything, or select a perspective, so it's spurious!

You're kidding.  :-[ :-[

The evidence he wasn't - try the win/loss count. QED.

Capiche?  :
