Breaks it down and gives an understanding of just what are classed as training fees right down to things like the cost of a hire pitch, tuition fees, travel expenses etc. As for the £2.4m, each player is different. Not every academy graduate will have been with us since they were 8 years old like Smith.

I think that's the article you are talking about? Very interesting. Its a shame in our accounts that the academy costs aren't broken down
