Re: L2 Transfer Watch
91It would be very shortsighted imho for a club like ours to dump the academy
That's what the other potential takeover group were looking at doing. If they'd been given the chance to tell you, maybe you'd have had a different opinion on that.County ranger wrote: January 31st, 2024, 3:16 pmThe academy has a very poor record of producing players who can make a living out of football, I doubt anything the Trust raises would make any difference - sorting out proper first team training facilities must be key - I would close the academy to achieve this we would lose nothing.Chris Davis wrote: January 31st, 2024, 10:27 am I believe that the academy is one of the best places for ringfenced Trust investment into the AFC.

However, that would be such a counterintuitive thing to do. Watch how a new ownership regime and strategy changes things, then suddenly we'll magically be producing academy players capable of playing at this level.
