If/when we go up I would hope we properly invest in the training ground and make it Premiership quality. Would also like to see the Academy upgraded to Class 1 status. We could then be picking off young talent for peanuts rather than it being done to us.
Would be worth scouting the GAA. Rugby, NFL and Aussie rules team scout and take players. A few years ago now but there was a GAA player who trained with Sunderland and I think the GAA player matched them on all metrics - except endurance but that would be very different now.Any good players over in Ireland.
Top level GAA players are pretty much performing at professional level even though they are amateur and do not get paid a wage. Some players have headed off to the NFL and some have gone to Aussie Rules ... Many Irish players rugby and football would have played GAA at some point.
Declan Rice, Jack Grealish and Callum O'Hare would have played GAA in England. They have all said playing it gives them an advantage. The way it is played in Ireland is way more professional so a whole new level of skill. It would be easy enough to identify younger players and help them develop the skills for football.

I wouldn’t be against us going for Hughes regardless of what div we are in next year
You want us to sign people who don’t play the sport then teach them football??
Is this the ex Cambridge lad who’s meant to be training with us?
Uppgifter: Coventry är huvudspåret i jakten på Manneh
Abdoulie Manneh ryktas bort från Mjällby AIF. Coventry City är det mest konkreta alternativet i dagsläget, enligt uppgifter. - Fotbolltransfers.com
In recent weeks, AFC Bournemouth, Stoke City and Coventry City have been identified as potential destinations.
Now FotbollDirekt writes that currently Coventry, who top the table in the Championship, is the most concrete option.
The clubs are expected to meet for negotiations next week.
Footy-Africa reported this morning that both Coventry and Stoke have made bids for Manneh, but according to FotbollDirekt this is not true.
As others have said hopefully we can get him in the door and training with us so he’s ready to go on Jan 1st.Uppgifter: Coventry är huvudspåret i jakten på Manneh

Travels well with the ball, moving his team up the pitch. If we get him, Frank will turn him into a star.
I’d say yes however we signed Brau before the play offs so I’m not sure
Sports Witness? Shame I quite fancied signing him
Always makes me go off a player when they talk to other clubs. Are we not good enough for you? You’re slutting it up with that tramp Stoke??
There are quite a lot of them that have played soccer or play both. Plenty of never played Aussie Rules and NFL yet play professionally.
They’re a bit closer to those sports though players who play pro football have had over a decade of pro training at the point they break through, NFL picks up from college football and HS football with much wider variation in training standards.
If we did sign him in January, we may not see him for a few weeks due to the African Cup of Nations being on.
Of course a player is going to look at his options so if more than one club is interested it's understandable you want to look at your choices.
Must be happening - already got the obligatory bandaged forearm - will slot straight in!!
Nailed on thenI've just checked with John Harriott and he doesn't think it will happen.
FLW, get your money him signing a new deal as they are usually 100% wrong
Hull won’t sell their captain in Jan. We may well take him to the Prem with us in the summer though
Thats what people said about Swansea and their captain…..
If Leeds offered £15-20m for Wright + Piroe on loan would you take it?

not going to happen but no, absolute stupidity to sell anyone in January if we are serious about promotion
Echoing above as not going to happen.
Wrights having so far his best season for us, so on that point no but Piroe was the highest scorer in the league last season and do think he’d be a good replacement.
Think tho while we are so high the risk would be too high to let one of our best players go even if it was £10/15 million plus Piroe on a perm.
