To have WSOp in place we need to recruit them now to be ready for 2016.
Not sure where you got 2016 from? At the very best, I would have thought back end of 2018 for some form of limited IOC.
Even then and regardless of whether it is light and/or dark blue down the back, the 'We find needles in haystacks' advert will need to be posted in the Sun as soon as the paperwork is signed off.
