I think we've proved time and time again that the academy pays for itself and has given us some of the most exciting footballers ever seen at Gresty Road, what we need is a better transfer policy that brings in players that helps us develop those youngsters and wins us games.
Pays for itself !! Those days are Long gone,try and keep up with the present day,as DG once said "The days of the Championship are long gone" so are the Academy but he has to admit it yet.
