I may be wrong, but I suspect that rather than the first team propping up the Academy, it is the other way round. I think down grading the Academy would yield no more money for the first team and journeymen pros looking for a pay day would not sustain League football at Crewe. As I say, I may be wrong. But I doubt it!
