OMG WTF this means we got no money!

 

Seriously I am glad that he is taking an interest in that side of things, would be great to find the next Rooney or Lennon.

 

 

Hoepfully we'll find some RB wonderkid..

Chairman In Toon Youth Pledge

 

By Craig Hope

 

NEWCASTLE United chairman Chris Mort admits he has been very impressed with the Magpies youth system after no fewer than 16 Academy products turned out for the Geordies during pre-season.

 

The new Toon chief has taken a keen interest in the Club's development of young players, and has visited the Little Benton Academy which has nurtured the talents of current first-team stars such as Steven Taylor, Peter Ramage and Andy Carroll.

 

And Mr Mort says the Club will again be looking to extend their youth recruitment efforts in the coming months.

 

"I have taken a great deal of personal interest in developing the Academy and the youth side of the Club generally," he told Black and White matchday programme.

 

"Over the weeks and months to come I would like to extend our recruitment efforts and the support we give to our Academy to try to capture the best local talent, together with talent from further field.

 

"Our Academy boys played key roles in the wins against Juventus and Celtic - with eight current or former academy trainees appearing in both fixtures.

 

"This is a great testament to the work done by our Academy team to date and the potential we have within the Club."

They invited a host of junior sides throughout Newcastle to train at Benton at the weekend, my nephew and his team were there and loved it, although they didn't play too well apparently. Nice gesture I thought but no doubt done with scouting in mind.
