From a strictly business and financial perspective, I can’t argue with the Union making this deal. However, Tanner’s comments about what’s next for the Union is the reason why the Union will never capture the hearts of a larger fan base. There never appears to be any ambition from the club to be something other than a well run club who sticks to their plan and is sustainable. Don’t get me wrong, that is the sign of a very well run business and I appreciate that.

However, most people don’t spend their free time displaying their passion for a well run business. I hope that I’m wrong and the Union have a wildly successful season which includes a playoff appearance with a win or two with this season becoming a springboard to another five year run of sustained success. Unfortunately, I don’t think that will be the case as their business model (and how they judge their success) is based upon developing and selling young players to European clubs.
