You're conflating ambition with common sense BT. Huddersfield have just realised that all that time, effort and cash over 18 years has produced just Jon Stead, while we've produced just Jay in ten tears. Huddersfield have seen sense and decided to row back, but we are continuing to throw money at it. And still we don't have anyone even close the first team coming through.

And if you want proof of what a waste of money it all is ponder this, both ourselves and Huddersfield are in the Premier League with zero contribution from the respective youth development systems. They're clearly not necessary, so what's the point ?
