I think I might start supporting the U18s instead of the first team. You get a good few years of quality homegrown players before they're sold. It'll be like being a City fan 20 years ago.
If only there was a god.But who will we sell next year to keep us afloat?! I'm going to take this as confirmation SISU are leaving at the end of the season and cashing in!

I don't mind if I get to see a fair bit of a player, I felt I saw Wilson develop even though he went after his first successful season, same with the likes of Christie. Hate it with Bigi, Thomas, Madders, etc where you don't even get a season out of them before they're off to someone's reserve side.
I doubt anyone is forcing them to move. If a big club comes in with more money, who wouldn't go? We are a very small fish.
To think wasn't it letting Connor Thomas go to Liverpool that led to ransom falling out with Sisu etc.
Or maybe someone has said to them 'We have this great ball playing centre back prospect, would you like a look at him?'I don't like this idea, if they want him let them pay. What happens if he goes there and then gets sent back like Connor Thomas, will other clubs think if Liverpool don't rate him nore do we.
You are right I doubt anyone is forcing them to move but is anyone trying to convince them to stay?I doubt anyone is forcing them to move. If a big club comes in with more money, who wouldn't go? We are a very small fish.

Surely a player who is under contract can't go on trial with another club.. weird that is!! I suppose he's not playing at the minute. But his head would be turned and dictates his value once trained there .. get them to stump up money first !! And a few good loan players from them!!
not a priority anymore for the ownersHow do we ever progress or build a league winning team when we keep selling everyone who shows an ounce of promise?
that was true. Was settled here and he was a quiet lad who didn't think he was right for a big club at the time.On the other side of this. While I'm sure it's not true at all for all young players who move:
The only CCFC academy prospect I've ever had any kind of close knowledge of was Bigi as I worked with some very close friends of his who would keep me informed. By all accounts he didn't want to leave when he did and was pushed out by the club.
So I don't think it's cut and dried either way.
Lots of young players stay at there clubs and play 100 games before moving on, it's not unheard of.How can we? Stay here and earn less? It happened when we were a top flight team so we don't stand a cat in hells chance of keeping them now.
