Wish Paul and his family all the best.
Sadly there has been a distinct separation of SU/FS and the local football.
It was great how it all started, FS did an awesome job to gain funding and resources to bring it all together. I was seriously impressed.
I felt the "The hearts and minds" were not won. It seemed that the cronyism was with "SU" especially with the isolation of local football.
The many imports, were given FDO and other jobs but chose not to play locally. There seemed to be no FDO Development or interaction with the clubs or grass roots football. Maybe wrong but it did seem that all coaching was through the fee paying academies or holiday programs.
In hindsight FS could have been stronger and set its expectations higher. Even if Paul is fundamentally right it has been one of the best resourced SU teams.
Cynically it was expected that this would be the last year as FS reserves are probably all now spent.
