Ok, I accept the assumption, and in a lot of cases it's probably right. But, taken to the extreme, we'd only ever get players that no one else wanted. It's an assumption that, unless it is challenged, quickly becomes fact - indeed almost weekly there is a post saying players won't come here, they never have, they never will.
Fortunately some players do want to come here, that shows it is possible, and often they love it down here once they have arrived. If some will come, then it's possible more will, particularly if the Club continues to project itself positively. I'm obviously not claiming that every player will see us as an attractive option, but I'd love to throw away the assumption that we are too far away.
