A bit more sophisticated than that though sinkov. There is a very clear "gateway" for 9 year old's onwards right through to the first team.

It may work, it may not, but at least it's a plan. The under-23's were culled yesterday, four were kept, 6 departed. The plan is obvious and it is in full swing.
