The purpose of the academy is to produce talent for our first team and secondly players who if they can't make at our level, now championship then they produce fees to pay for the Academy.
The running of the Academy needs to be part of the review and as I have said a number of times we need to be loaning out all our academy players at whatever age for part of each season. It needs to be part of the tempering process. They need to compete against players in the other leagues who really need their contracts, it will be too much for some but better we know soonerrather than latter.
The point I am making is, without the academy players, we are already 5/6 players short of a squad, before any transfers happen, depending on whether Ollie stays or not. If we only get 4 players leaving including Fabs we will have done extremely well. It could easily be double that number.
People need to do the maths pretty bl**dy quickly.
It is an opportunity to get players in who can play our passing and possession game but we need the manager in place or players will vote with their feet.
