Which basically means they waste a few years pottering around in the championship, making no progress to their ultimate aims for reasons you have yet to say
well thats just changing the meaning of words and such complete tosh
do you really think Celtic just appeared one day? that Leighton Samuel pulled the club out of his ass and here they are now 4 years later in SL
you know thats rubbish, and i know that is rubbish, SL was the medium term aim, introducing welsh players to a competitive SL side is the long term aim, everything crusaders have done from the day they were registered in nl2 and for a bit before that two, has been focused on the medium term aim of getting SL, and being in a position to start focusing on the long term aim, introducing welsh players to a competitive SL side,
right now, because they made all of short medium and long term aims they are ahead of where they would have been, their youth sides are up and running and have been for 2 or 3 years now, so they are at the very least 2 or 3 years ahead of where they would be had they taken your advice, and spent a couple of years knocking round the lower leagues, just having a look see

"Recruiting players like Lincoln Withers, Mark Bryant, Adam Peek, Marshall Chalk and Ryan O'Hara, and keeping guys like Jace Van Dijk, Tony Duggan and Damien Quinn, is instrumental in making the Crusaders competitive at Super League initially and for their experience and professionalism to rub off on the young Welsh players."
."this is from Anthony Seibold, it is a good example of how you set short term aims, and making sure achieving those can put you in the best position to acheive your long term aims, i.e short-term aim = being competitive, long term aim = being competitive with welsh players, answer bring in some quality players who have been through the right coaching and can help young welsh players get better. you see how it works now? and nobody had to make detailed plans years or anything, they simply knew they short medium and long term objectives and how they could get from where they are to where they need to be,

Club chairman Hector McNeil said: London rugby league is crying out for a second top-flight team in the capital and everyone would be happy with a London derby with the Harlequins.
"We've had talks with the Olympics consultants and are going through to the next stage on a shortlist basis. It would have to be a whole new set-up at the club aiming for a 5,000 average crowd and we would aim to ramp up all our capabilities.?
Except for clubs in the heartlands that will forever be excluded from SL because of location
Something that will seriously damage thier chances of bringing in ' Sugar Daddy ' type investment to them
