Rafalove Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 1 hour ago, joeyt said: I've always had a bit of a problem with players as young as 14 being snapped up by bigger clubs, especially when they have to relocate significantly for it. I guess players bounce around academies in their region all the time but I don't know it just feels a bit unethical buying a 14 year old Might just be me Completely agree. If nothing else, fans of those clubs should have the opportunity of seeing local lads come through their ranks. I’m still annoyed by Bobby Clarke, and that lad that left for Chelsea.

Wallace Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 Maybe due to the PSR rules, clubs are looking to boost their academies so they can sell the players in the future rather than developing them for their own team. That doesn’t seem right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 I think they brought in rules quite a few years ago so young players from abroad couldn't join academies at such a young age like Fabregas did at Arsenal It just makes me feel very uneasy that teams are 'buying' children Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 The catchment areas increase with the age groups. Younger age groups are local area only, then regionally, then nationally, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 17, 2024 Share Posted June 17, 2024 Quote I emailed every FA across the world and many clubs across the first and second divisions world-wide, offering my services if they could find me accommodation and food. I didn’t get many replies for the thousands of emails sent out, however in my first year I was fortunate enough to get a reply from Enkhjin Batsumber in Mongolia, the President of Mongolian Premier League club, Bayangol FC. They offered me the Head Coach role for my flights, accommodation, and food, and 3 weeks later I jumped on a plane to Ulan Bataar (Via Moscow).
