Fantastic advert to all the local players in the area of why not to sign at whitehaven.
So much for LOCALS no young player is gonna look at our club twice now.
Town now have Gary Hewer involved massively respected in the community game that makes it even harder.
The only financial and sustainable way to grow and keep a club healthy is recruiting the best local talent it’s not rocket science.
And where are these locals at and playing at these signings have been playing if you haven't noticed we have had a virus in this country and no one been playing these signings come highly recommended and without the big signing on fee of unproven locals
JUST SAYING
Take your haven rose tinted glasses off Shaun.
Do you think these Aussies are coming over here for peanuts ? 
The Aussies haven’t been playing to my knowledge and they are not proven until they are here and do something.
As for the huge signing on fee locals want please name a local who has asked for a huge signing on fee or is that your opinion?.
There’s only one I know of and he’s at haven !
You seem a bit ****ed off matt you should go back and offer your service do you think we would stay up with the side that won championship 1
Personally my opinion I don't think we would of. Charlo and the board are doing a great job
Not at all never been happier bud.
I just find the hypocriticalness of many brilliant after we rammed down towns throats about our local team and slated them for the way they treat all the local lads and what was achieved but now we’re in the championship who cares eh let’s just forget what them lads done for the club.
There’s no doubt we needed to strengthen but recruitment could of been done more sustainability we don’t need 4/5 Australians and to be paying agent fees etc.
I don’t agree with signing vast numbers of imports and travellers especially when they don’t even know where whitehaven is (reference there interviews) it shows me they are coming for one reason.
It’s not sustainable long term you will need to recruit most likely every year to fill there places and in that time good young local lads will miss out and thus leave and others won’t come and you can’t blame them.
Of the starting 17 that gets picked do you think Morris king walmsley Williams. Are going to not play if fit ?
Do you think Chris Taylor, Dave thompson Liam Cooper and Dion will not play if fit ?
Half the team starting team not from cumbria don’t get me wrong if your happy about that your entitled to your opinion as I am mine.
We will struggle to compete for the best locals with town with what they have in place and they will reap the rewards in 3/4 years.
What is the one reason they are all coming to Haven?
I can think of a few which won’t be your 1 reason:-
Opportunity to play overseas
Opportunity to put yourself in the shop window especially with some “smaller” nations now playing Internationals
Actually want to give it a go etc etc
You keep quoting Town as an example of a Club with just “local” players. They haven’t. They have non West Cumbrians in their squad
Also as the shortened 2020 season showed quite clearly what is good enough to win League 1 isn’t good enough to stay in the Championship and the quality of
available good enough local players just isn’t there.
Anyway you’ve clearly got a chip in your shoulder so I know none of the above will be accepted or register
