Just a few thoughts.
Firstly, I don't think this is a mediocre league. It's a fairly level one and very professional and wins are typically by small margins hence PP being so keen on FT and more training time.
Also, strikers who are likely to score the number of goals we need to be challenging or, at least competitive, will be much easier to attract if we're offering a FT or at least hybrid contract.
With those those things in mind, I agree that recruitment for next season will be crucial but, because of the move towards full time, I think it might be easier than if we were looking at the part time pool of strikers. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised with the players PP can now attract and bring in.
