The Academy set up needs to be subject to a root and branch review. There is no harm in asking searching questions about its set up, the number of coaches, whether or not it is producing youngsters ready for League football or how is the money actually spent? I am not one of those advocating the abolition of the Academy, but its operation cannot simply go unchallenged year after year. This is something that happens across all aspects of life. I cannot believe that any conclusions would support its abolition, but there may be a need to re-focus in certain areas.
