Has this helped move us forward or is it actually hindering us?
Since we have had it I can't see any player that has greatly improved and become a significant sellable asset, Chair's value for one has gone downwards since it opened.
Being a bond holder (more fool me!) I have seen the facility and yes it is very nice, but does that actually make us better as a football club. As well as the point above about not improving players (isn't that what a training centre is for?), I think a bigger issue is "Performance" as it seems the injury issues have got worse since we had this facility.
Are the problems that the facility is actually too nice and the players would rather spend time in hot tub recovering from injury and in the gym building up their fitness and in the canteen having endless supply of Chicken, Fish, Quinoa, Avocado, etc etc. No wonder it takes them so long to recover from injury. Sick of these pampered modern day footballers to be honest.
And then there is the financial aspect of this as abseits raised the other day, the bonds become due in the last quarter of 2026, unless something drastically improves next season then I can't see us getting our money back. Next season I really worry about, with likelyhood of Birmingham and Wrexham coming up that is two teams coming up that wont be worrying about relegation. It's do or die for Nourry this summer.
