Guest Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 They raved about that lad forever at all levels at the Academy. Loved a 'high wave', which always seemed to work for him. Nice to see him add some final product to his overall ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Huddersfield scrapping their Academy. Shittest idea going. Can't ever see why you wouldn't want to at least try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Brentford did the same thing. In many ways you can see why. They have to compete with the likes of Man City, Man United, Everton, Liverpool for youngsters. Often it's expending a lot of money on running the academy when all the best young players are going to favour the big clubs' set-ups anyway. The alternative model that Brentford have tried (and Huddersfield are following) is to allow those clubs to incur the costs of running academies and then when youngsters are released at 18 or whatever to sign them up and give them a 2nd chance in the game. I'm not sure I like it, and I'm pretty sure the FA aren't a fan either, but for smaller clubs competing in competitive catchment areas you can see it becoming an increasingly viable option.

Newcastle Fan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 bit strange scrapping academies when we just sold an unknown kid for 6m, the marketing is craving for average overpriced English players by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's only £6m if he goes on to do something, which no one has a clue about yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 bit strange scrapping academies when we just sold an unknown kid for 6m, the marketing is craving for average overpriced English players by the looks of it. Not surprising to me. Academies/Centre's of excellence have a piss poor record of developing players who go on to have a full career in the professional game. I really think that youth development should be taken out of clubs and put into regional centre's with a broader access point and a focus on the kids' development, not the club's interests.

Bimpy474 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wagner was on yesterday saying they're scrapping it because they can't compete with academies of the bigger clubs in the area around them, still a daft decision like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 After those new rules came in can't any big club with a decent Academy basically poach whatever young talent they want? I can mind of see their thinking if they're spending money to develop young prospects and the higher ranked clubs are just siphoning off the best of them.

Would love to see it run through universities, a bit like in the US. There would still be affiliation to the areas where professional clubs are to allow sponsorship and support, and it adds in a bonus that those who don't make it get some form of education to support them afterwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's something in that, i can't remember the exact details but i think that's why it was so crucial that we got a category 1 status.

Guest Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Basically if the rules we had no were in place several years ago, Delap would have only cost a couple of grand to leave Leeds. The smaller teams can't 'win' with this new set up, so I personally don't blame them. All the money to invest in the set up and then when you do nurture an amazing talent, some bigger club comes along and gives you £10k for him.

Would love to see it run through universities, a bit like in the US. There would still be affiliation to the areas where professional clubs are to allow sponsorship and support, and it adds in a bonus that those who don't make it get some form of education to support them afterwards The US system won't work for football for many reasons, one of which is that footballers are ready to play earlier, the average age of NFL draftee is between 21 and 23, a lot of youngsters have made multiple international appearances before then. You would need to employ some form of scholarship system, the reason a lot of these athletes are allowed to get into university is because of that, they wouldn't meet the criteria form an academic standpoint, the scholarship system is offered by the University because they make money from the sports program, that's not likely with university football teams. There is also no competition for US sports, unlike in the UK where a talented youngster wants to make money from the game but can't do that at home so he'll have the option to wait until he's at least 21 or go to Barcelona, Bayern or PSG academy.
