Have to say this is the most unbelievable career. Those finances are quite something. Do you miss the days of scraping every penny in non-league?! Also unbelievable that in the 25 odd years you've been in the football league, every year but 1 the media predicted you last. Will they never learn... To add to Aldish' comment, that's why I haven't increased Youth Recruitment (I can't remember improving it to basic) The Cornish believe in the Cornish, I wanted to try and keep the team as Cornish as possible as we rose through the leagues. Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you say so! I definitely don't miss the money trouble days! The media are bound to learn some day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that it's also one of the factors that can increase the PA of youth players. Spoiler With a limited Youth Recruitment, you'll be recruiting - as you say - from Cornwall and nearby, with a few from further afield, now that you're in the PL. But since there's a fairly limited population down there, you're recruiting the best of a mediocre bunch. The wider you cast your net, the bigger the pool of players and the more chance there is of you getting a good one - even from as far away as Bristol!
