nothing against him personally, just think it is over simplfying the issue regarding the academy.
i just doubt we will attract any better young players until the club as a whole is on the way up.
i am a main committee member for one of the biggest football (non league) clubs in hampshire and at present our youth players are as likely to be tapped up by the skates and reading as they are saints.
parents always believe their sons are better than what they are and will gamble on them making it at a premiership club if the offer is there, the saints have a lot of catching up to do at grass roots level after the cuts in the community department after relgation from the premiership
