You said we had a good pedigree of producing players. Good pedigree implies decent players, not mostly lower league like we have. Perhaps Southampton have recently invested in the infrastructure? Tbf and it contradicts me a bit but no teams sustain production of good young players, United...

What pedigree? How many players have we produced that have gone on to sustain careers at the highest level? How many have even been capped? CCFC youth development seems to fall apart when players reach 17-18, not sure what it is.

Southampton benefit from having a large catchment area and relatively little competition for the best young players. Yes, Portsmouth is nearby but they didn't invest in youth (hence their current position).

Yep. Need a midfielder that drives forward. Moussa would be ideal, not playing much at Charlton.

You are allowed to say that you don't want to comment.

Why are the Trust bothered about whether or not there is an independent inquiry? As it has no impact on CCFC I don't understand why they're bothering to write about it?

Realistically they're going to be on decent money. The club cannot afford to pay individual players Baker level wages, it's a bit of a moot point.

Does he mean we've got a better squad and thus are underachieving to a greater extent now than we were?

Indeed. Can't stand the obnoxious Welsh twat

Aren't you giving SISU the credit of forward planning there?

The Sky dream of football isn't about attending matches it's about watching on television. Major events aren't the FA Cup 3rd round draw it's the Transfer Deadline day.

When I was at school it was probably 95% City

Carry on. It probably won't help CCFC either way mind you.

He started playing Wilson in his first season whilst Robins had completely ignored him. Funny really.

Good point. The issue exists all over football. Some clubs and other organisations outsource catering to companies like Compass who employ young people on zero hours contracts.

I've got to agree with that, apart from McGoldrick who was lost in Robins' tenure. It's part of the reason why I've always been sympathetic to Pressley. He lost what 50 goals in the summer (regardless of the reasons). Any manager would struggle against the backdrop as well as the myriad other...

Bigfatronssba won't be happy. He didn't like me calling him a wet blanket.

I think he should go but the players are also a fucking disgrace. The likes of Jackson have turned up and done fuck all.

Don't pay for it. Anybody with a genuine interest in football wouldn't.

While I think it's probably time for him to go. I don't think Pressley is a c**t. Some of the personal digs are harsh. He's tried his best but it isn't good enough.
