I agree with all Furberstreet says. Keeping the academy just in case we produce another great player in years to come will starve the first team of money ( they are the priority for the club ) We have not produced any top players for the past several years that would go straight into a premiership team so lets stop dreaming about the academy and get into the real world,
As mentioned before there needs to be a comprehensive look and overall of every department within the club. Targets need to be set within departments and if not reached staff will have to leave . Cruel but this is the modern way of working now. The club has been run a family basis for far to long and needs to sort its self out.
Would be interesting to see what the wage bill for the staff at the academy is and What DG gets as well
