mrmojorisin75 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The 'develop and promote' policy seems more like 'stagnate and release' to me. nailed - even ashley when he 'attempted' to start this under wise never actually had the fucking nouse to recruit the best coaches for handling youth players FIRST...what's the point in signing them if they're just gonna rot, as you say?

Dokko Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I think we've had respectable youth coaches over Ashley's reign, just no real setup and structure. The coaches have been capable, we've had some good results at youth level, though the way in which we deal with them when they get to a certain age is wrong. There is no real planning, just hope one of them brings himself through leaning on natural ability only. It's like loaning them out is an afterthought while something we don't like doing. Imo it should all be about identifying young talent, mature them as young adults, train them hard and get them up to speed in youth and then reserve games. When this is done farm them out and have lower leagues invited to come and loan all of our prospects in return of first team football. Get them back in and see how close they are to the first team, if the need more games back out on loan. At this stage they either make it or they don't and they are sold on with addons, just like how Manu do it. They've not really produced any stand out candidates for their standards, but constantly churn out average Championship standard players sold on for a million or so keeping funds in the academy and also young careers knowing if they don't make it at Manu then there's a good chance someone else will have them and their experiences will stand them in good stead. We just release once we realise they've not been good enough, and that's usually because they get to 21 with only a handful of professional games under their belt, with their biggest development stage over. This is just the business end of the academy that isn't working, god knows what's going on right from the bottom of age 10 etc...but again, it seems there's no real structure. Chopping and changing coaches isn't helping either for one reason or another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Should tell them where to go. I'm totally fine with him going out to a lower league club, but there's no way we should be strengthening a rival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Strengthening a rival? Hardly. He wouldn't start for Blackpool, which is why he should be going to somewhere like Hartlepool or perhaps Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Strengthening a rival? Hardly. He wouldn't start for Blackpool, which is why he should be going to somewhere like Hartlepool or perhaps Leeds. Of course he would start, Blackpool play 433. Dobie & Campbell have went back to there clubs. Taylor-Fletcher & Euell or more midfielders than strikers. He is better than Billy Clarke. Proably on proven ability because of experience Ormerod is ahead of him. So they 1 striker imo better than him & they need 3 strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yeah, Blackpool most surely be heading down. They don't even look like stengthening - although they're after Nicky Butt and Francis Jeffers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 yeah, if he goes out on loan then definitely not to anyone in the premier league. don't want him scoring goals for our rivals. maybe send him to leeds or rangers, somewhere relatively local Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a decent young player and we shouldn't let him anywhere near Blackpool (imagine him in the arcades!). Somewhere like Leicester would be perfect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
