not sure that is totally the case

signing young, hungry players from the lower leagues has been good transfer policy for all but the best clubs for ever.

Boyer, Reeves, Bruce, Phelan, Linighan, Prior, Lee Marshall. Even Worthy tried it (Cotterill)

The financial limits we imposed upon Lambert fitted well with his knowledge of lower leagues.

The new manager will be faced with a different conundrum; sourcing players who are good enough for our current level and keeping our better ones happy to stay.
