Crewe Alex launch legal action against majority shareholder Norman Hassall

I think it makes interesting listening to the full video on the OS especially re the academy and costs (around 40 minutes I think)

Someone asks a question re the academy and costs (could have been you Mike but too cold a night)
As the director says we have to factor in other benefits eg physios etc which we would have to pay for anyway

The sound though is awful

Thanks for that mate, will have a listen and no I didn't go as it was too cold and someone said you needed a ticket anyway. It shows others too are concerned about the costs of the academy. I would just ask what difference a Cat3 academy would cost or indeed no academy or Cat4 even. It would be interesting if someone could plot the costs of each stage of the academy from the Shavington days through to the emergence of Reaseheath and the EPPP and which players were sold at each stage and that would show the benefits of it and level of coaching at each stage? If I was a Director, I would want to know?

I also wonder what happens when the lease runs out in 10 years? Most leaseholders put the fees up don't they? I would even like to know that figure too..
