Recruitment task

[MikeSB]

Just to add that when one academy is shut down, then all the others wil follow suit and clubs will save tens of millions in the process and there will be hundreds of academy employees sacked...

I learned that employing first principles in my educational life was essential and that applies everywhere...Footballers are defined by their natural ability as most people are in the arts and business and we have spent what here in the last 12 seasons? 12 million plus pounds? What has been achieved in that time to justify that sort of cash expenditure as the plain fact is that without PL/FA money no club our size would have an academy,only an after school footie group....and d'you know what? You wlll still see some excellent footballers coming through as they did for over 100 years since the game started....First principles, chaps, first principles...No talented person needs coaching..
