However, if it pays off, like Lambert did in this division, then why not?
Premier League proven and experience is a load of crap in the lower leagues. Look at Ipswich, half of their squad are ex-Premier League, but look how crap they are.
It's because Ipswich's awful transfer policy in recent seasons (especially this summer). Jewell brought a load of Premiership proven old men and put them on high wages, they obviously don't care and are just seeing out their careers being on high wages before they retire, not motivated at all.
Seriously, young players and non-Premier League proven is the way forward.
