Youth set up stays

[HarryBosch]

Strange move from an asset stripping, cost cutting, "property dealing :censored:"

Category Three Academy, does that mean a cheap option, 3rd rate set up with 3rd rate youngsters....what category is Crewe's ?

I can categorically state I don't know

So all those people "in the know" over the weekend on twitter were presumably not in the know.

No it means it stays at what it was see http://www.footballacademytalk.com/football-academy-revolution-or-disaster-the-new-fa-elite-player-performance-plan-eppp/

Better than some "bigger" clubs too.

So it should do too. Its bollocks all this 'new premier league transfer fee' :censored:e. All it means is we just dont sell them. Fine by me.

[Twisbrogan]

The right move and, whether it is from here or elsewhere, the club appear to have taken supporters views on board as they seemed to be veering away from this the other week.

 

Hope supporters keep our side of the deal as well. You need patience with teams of kids which doesn't mean writing them off after a could of dodgy moments and undermining their confidence.

So Crewe, Barnet, Brentford and Colchester are Category 2..it will interesting to see how their youth develop in comparison to the Latics and the transfer fees they will reap.

[Lookers_Carl]

Absolutely the right move, especially considering the pending abolishment of the loan market outside of the transfer window, chances are whoever is in charge will have to rely on youth in the event of injuries.

Once they make it with us we can sell for whatever we want, it's just before they make the breakthrough where we get shafted, so your deals for Micah Richards, Scott Spencer and Danny Philliskirk are no more. So it pays to fast track those you think are good enough. Tbh I'd rather do that than play a procession of loanees

[oafcprozac]

Is that influenced by looking for a manager to develop this ie McClair?Just a crazy thought.

No the decision had been made before Dickov left

[bossrocks]

This is the right decision. The main argument for getting rid actually had me partly convinced for a while: Jose Baxter vs Kirk Millar et al.

 

But longer term its absolutely right that we stick with the youth set up. Lets hope for more Eardleys and Taylors.

 

Presumably the EPPP vote was a major factor behind the discussion. I wish lower league clubs had more collective bollocks to stand up to the Premier League (perhaps with some FA support).

Kinda got this impression after Corney's interview on Sunday

[Hands on]

Great news and if you read the small print we wouldn't get so shafted because additional payments become due depending on performance. It could also mean those that didn't make it might come back to the club where they started and do a good job in the lower league. As good news as the side step - we do have a future!

As per my point above, in the near future we won't be able to play a procession of loanees.
