    I noticed today whilst doom scrolling that BPA have put themself up for sale.

    Apparently Gareth Roberts has decided he can not afford to take them forward any further and is therefore looking for new owners that can take them on to push them forward, No price is mentioned but they are looking for letters of intent to be sent in with details.

    Wonder how much they are wanting

    Well, perhaps he's been pumping money in but has reached a Total and doesn't want to Shell out more.

    We should buy them and use them as our development team

    Great idea.

    Let's make huge losses running an U23 team that might produce one player every 5 or 6 seasons until we finally end up at the same level due to reduced budgets and end in bankruptcy.

    He must mean when we're in the Premier League.

    Because otherwise there's literally no point in development squads lol

    If we also invested in decent scouting overseas have shown we could produce a lot more often than that
