But surely the academy has produced players with great potential, thats why the likes of Liverpool, Spurs and Wolves have paid good money for them. Not the players fault they were not given the opportunities to make their mark at Notts. I believe a major part of the problem is not having a Reserve side where the young players could be tested and nurtured in readiness for the 1st team.
