Hard to give youngsters a chance when the club is barely hanging on to PL football every season. When those youngsters and reserves have gotten chances in the league cup, they've failed miserably.

 

Not slagging Victor or even Rafa's time here but the academy itself is a shambles, and the players produced have 1) not cut it or 2) don't get the chance when in form and the team is playing well because 3) we are always fucking struggling

Just clearing the decks for Alex Bruce. 

So much irony in this, considering all the untreated and unrecognised injuries that have happned to children under Joe Joyce's watch. Daniel Leadbitter was playing with a fractured spine at one point...

Is it not just a case of he was put on gardening leaving a few months ago and now he has officially left?

That's how I interpreted the original article when it was first announced

Talk on the Facebook comments is that his wife made some complaint about the treatment of the young'uns - including their own son - stuff about bullying or bad medical/health advice, and as a result he was placed on leave.  As usually with Facebook comments, may be entirely made up.

Wonder whether Ben Dawson or Mark Atkinson might step up, both have a decent reputation for coaching, think Atkinson left the Mackems to come to us. 

Not sure how the structure was before but i presume Atkinson worked to Dawson who reported to Joyce as Academy Manager
