Airey only played once for the first team, I think.

 

Came on as a sub at fucking Stevenage?

 

Hey.  Less of the badmouthing Stevenage :)

 

/About fucking time they released this list too.  Most other clubs gave out who they were releasing a while ago.

Louis Storey & Ben Sayer released too.

 

had a feeling Storey would go once young Kitchen was getting picked ahead of him at the back end of then season for the reserves.

NEWCASTLE UNITED are still hoping their academy will be awarded top category status despite the findings of a recent audit highlighting that more work must be done to achieve their goal.

 

Football clubs throughout the country have been - or are in the process of being - examined and assessed to determined which category status their academy will be granted as part of the implementation of the new Elite Player Performance Plan.

 

And while indications are that Middlesbrough could join Sunderland in securing Category 1 status, Newcastle have initially been informed they have fallen short of the criteria required.

 

Magpies sources claim over the next few weeks they are aiming to prove they can fulfil the aspects of the criteria where they did not come up to scratch when independent auditors, Foot Pass England, carried out their checks.

 

The finer details of what is being asked of Newcastle are unclear, but The Insider has learned they are optimistic they can still join Sunderland in being regarded as a Category 1 club. Middlesbrough, who say they are awaiting official results of the national audit, are hopeful of a rank alongside their Wearside neighbours.

 

Under the new EPPP rules there are a variety of changes, ranging from the access time clubs can have with their schoolboys to changes to the restrictions currently in place regarding the way young footballers are scouted.

 

Depending on how a club is categorised in the four-tier category, it becomes easier for higher ranked clubs to transfer promising schoolboys from other clubs lower down the tier system.

 

So Newcastle, whose owner Mike Ashley is keen to ensure they are in the best shape to attract leading young talents, are keen to convince the auditors they do deserve Category 1 status rather than 2.

 

Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough have all been pursuing top status and all hope to be in a position to challenge the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City for the best schoolboys around.

 

Otherwise a Category 2 club, which could be Newcastle, will be in a position where they may have to allow a Category 1 club, which could be Middlesbrough, to take their players for cheap, relatively speaking in professional football terms.

Pretty shite that.

 

“But it is not just about funding. Category One clubs can cherry-pick the best young players in the area, so the knock-on effects are huge.”

 

How? Surely it's up to the player?

How the fuck could we miss out to be a category One club :lol: It would be embarrassing and bad.

 

Depends what criteria they check. Assuming its not just the quality of facilities which are under inspection otherwise we would surely be up there.

To be honest I´m a bit surprised that we eventually wouldn´t pass the criteria that is demanded. But most shocked I´m I because we know that the club is working hard with the youth department now days, etc spending a lot of money, and still we can´t find out the demands so we pass it.
