Great stuff that like. Always think we know what's going on but have to say that is new on me. Further illustrates the good foundations things are being built on now.

durhamunigeordie Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Obviously we don't know the fall story, but that does play up to the stereotype of these kids thinking that they've made it. A friend of mine is looking at doing his undergrad dissertation on something like that. Perhaps looking at the attitudes young pros have when they first break into the first team, what the actual chances of them making it etc are.

durhamunigeordie Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Embarrassing if what Carlisle says is true. I hope Pards gets hold of this information, get the impression he wouldn't be best pleased. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Would you really want players who've just played a full football match to be carrying and lifting stuff, though? Surely a risk of injury etc. Although then again, the unused subs should be doing it in that case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The days when youth teamers are manual labourers are long gone I guess. If that's what Beardsley is employed to do then I have no problem with him doing it.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2012/10/06/newcastle-united-academy-in-line-for-top-status-61634-31977545/ Newcastle United Academy in line for top status by Mark Douglas, The Journal Oct 6 2012 NEWCASTLE United are confident of belatedly clinching Category One status for their Academy before the turn of the year, in a development that is viewed as critical for continued success of the club under Mike Ashley. A major overhaul of Academies is currently being pushed through by the Premier League as part of the Elite Player Performance Plan, which will see clubs graded to one of four levels. Newcastle’s Academy was initially assessed below the grade required to earn the sought-after Category One mark, which brings a minimum of £775,000 of annual funding and makes it easier for clubs to scout and transfer the best players from all over the country. That was a sizeable blow for a club that has placed youth development at the heart of its attempts to become sustainable, but The Journal has learned that United are hopeful of confirmation of their Category One status in the next few months, having proven to the Premier League that they have made the improvements raised by the original audit. Making the grade is of huge importance to United, who would stand to lose nearly £300,000 of annual Academy funding and run the risk of neighbours Middlesbrough and Sunderland – who have both already been given Category One status – potentially poaching their players for a knock-down fee if they were in the Category Two bracket. The status of their Academy has been shrouded in mystery ever since the first tranche of clubs to be awarded Category One status began to announce that they had been given the top tier of funding. Unlike Sunderland – who made a swift announcement that they had been given Category One status – Newcastle made no comment, but seem to have worked hard with the Premier League and independent auditors Foot Pass England to try to make the adjustments needed. The club have also been able to point to the increased number of Academy graduates being used in high-profile games this season, with the emergence of Shane Ferguson and James Tavernier particularly pleasing for manager Alan Pardew.

Pilko Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I can see it now. Five goal haul from the Xisc machine against Villa reserves. Place on the bench against the Mackems. Makes an 85th minute entry for an ailing Shola who has bagged our goal, which has since been equalised. Xisco scores a backheel from 20 yards and then runs out of the ground celebrating, never to be seen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journal learned on Friday that United’s Academy has made the necessary improvements that the club hope will earn it Category One status under the new Elite Player Performance Plan to be imposed by the Premier League in the near future. Yesterday it emerged that Newcastle have told agents they have decided not to sign players under the age of 18 any more – a reaction to the failure of the likes of Aaron Spear and Ben Tozer to blossom after cash was spent on them. The signing of Gaël Bigirimana, who will soon turn 19, is about as young as Newcastle will go when it comes to spending big bucks. It is an understandable policy given the uncertainty that comes with player development, but it also reflects United’s belief that they have been too quick to write off certain players who are in their early twenties.

I find this a bit odd - surely the problem with those players were the fact that they were recruited by Wise who bought badly and overpaid for youngsters.
