And so it begins! 😉
I think he can do better than Posh though actually although, as the article says, they have a lot of previous as regards buying players from non-league and developing them further.

With this belief in mind I thought I'd do a deeper dive. Since 2020 The Posh have signed ~10 players from NL.

Frazer Blake-Tracy - CB - Kings Lynn
31 apps for Posh over 2 seasons, now at Swindon in L2

Joe Tomlinson - LB - Eastleigh
17 Apps over 3 seasons, now at MK D*ns in L2

Joe Taylor - ST - Kings Lynn
17 Apps (0 goals), Now with Luton but loaned to Colchester & Lincoln this season.

Serhat Taşdemir - RM - Fylde
20 Apps, Now in Turkey 2 div

Jack Taylor - CM - Barnet
137 Apps, Now with Ipswich (3x ROI on transfer)

Ephron Mason-Clark - LW - Barnet
102 Apps (29 Goals), Now with Cov (5x ROI)

Emmanuel Fernandez - CB/RB - Ramsgate
19 Apps, still with club, loaned back to NL

Kabongo Tshimanga - CF - Chesterfield
13 Apps (0 Goals), Loaned to Boreham Wood, now transfer listed at Posh

This tells me their record is less than stellar but that they are also ruthless when it doesn't work out. If I was Chris I'd be looking at this info and looking for a better landing spot.

If the Swansea rumours were ever true that would be top of my list. Big club and a great manager with a great system.
