I am fed up of seeing the kids.
If the academy costs £500k a year ,whilst the average wage (according to steve davis is £900 per week).
Why the hell do we not just sign 10 experienced players each season and rely less on the academy.
Naturally every club produces a player every season or two, so for me the era of producing players with the hope of selling them for a million is outdated.
Like any company has to do from time to time, now is the opportunity to change the business model !
