Haha realised that as soon as I posted it mate. Knew you would pull me up on that.
You also need to be lucky with the talent pool and the Dutch havn't been as lucky for the last decade or so.
I think part of their problem is that everybody does what the Dutch did for years - so in those days their talent pool stood out because they were doing things nobody else was doing. But then Spain and Barca perfected it, and "Best Practices" meant that other countries took what the Dutch did and made it their own. When that happens, everyone else's resources rises to match yours, and you no longer stand out. Same thing happened to Wenger - came to England with Yoga, Macrobiotic diets, Recovery Days, and a form of Moneyball in the transfer method. And he stood out. Now everyone does it, and he doesn't stand out anymore.
As soon as everyone figures out how Southampton do their recruiting, nobody will be buying Southampton players anymore
And if Stevie is actually on the right track about the winning thing at youth levels, and then we get a leg-up because of it, it won't be long until everyone else catches up. Such are the cycles of football
