Gary Caldwell has stepped down. “Planned” apparently.

Aye. I'd imagine a combination of being "too expensive" a hire and some degree of common sense/self worth was involved. Shame, it's a clear path to becoming our next first team manager after Bruce.

He left because his wheelie bin ice bath had a crack in it and the club told him he’d need to pay for his own sellotape to fix it.

Charnley must be one of the worst Managing Directors in the country, he has absolutely boat loads of cash chucked at him and without so much as a wimper he follows Ashley's orders and runs us like a pub team  in fact I'm talking shite here cos some people will actually care about a pub team.

I don’t know if this is a shot at us or u23 football in general, but if it’s the latter I agree. Personally I would have a B team, playing actual games, academy football is pointless imo 

I won’t name names but my boy was at SAFC academy, currently at Boro and is wanted by NUFC and I guarantee all the coaches at that level think they need to be playing proper football at league level, whatever the level, as academy games are shit basically and played half arsed and mostly about one or two maybe top players at whatever club being supported by a back up team of shit players who would be better off actually getting game time again regardless of the level, that’s why so may just drop out/dissapear apparently.

I must clarify I mean players 18 and over and even some think some of the under 18s need proper league football. As for the other academy football I know NUFC under 7s/8s/9/ regularly play cannon fodder team to win because it pleases the parents to see their kid score 5 against a team even someone whose never played would smash it against such opposition. It’s terrible all round IMO and especially at NUFC.

Completely agree, from my experience it is honestly like watching a different sport. It’s all very nice technically, but there is no intensity basically at all. Going to watch say league 2 or even like NL, after watching academy football is so jarring. It’s twice as quick, ten times more physical. I think Brentford have a B team and they’ve done okay. 

Aye mate you can’t beat playing football competitively whatever the level, academy stuff regardless is not competitive and look at Armstrong and Toney what playing regular competitive football whatever the level has done for their game.
