mcG was only used because Taylor had no one else.

It’s a shocking affair….last year we RELEASED a youth player to Man U. It may be nice thing to help a kid up the ladder, but rather than bring him on further (and get more money later as he develops) we get a cheap release fee now.
That’s Stewart all over.
Add this to the task list of the new regulator - the big boys need to pay a structured compensation package to any club that they take youngsters from - with sell ons etc - they won't miss the money but clubs like ours will. Time to start tipping the scales back into the direction of lower leagues/grassroots
