They are the first long contracts since when?
So you think the academy should be closed down and yet your posting history is full of bile aimed at Higgs/CCC/wasps because you allege that they have been trying to close down the academy. Are you a schizophrenic? Keep taking the meds.
Just following the briefing Timmy gave him.
part of their long term plan is to show it's just not needed.
Their long term plan ?. Aren't people calling for TM to be sacked. How does the long term plan fit into losing his job with you and others are calling for,
What's the additional cost of running a category 2 academy vs a bog standard league 1 youth setup?
Depends how you measure costs. Pound wise the club stands to lose grants but what if we start losing local talent to other teams because they have the category status and facilities that go with it? What if we'd never had Maddison, Wilson, Bigi etc. because given the choice they had gone elsewhere because of academy status, facilities etc. that are better placed to help them develop their skills and career?
Weren't they before the new status? Im sure it was only recently they upgradedDepends how you measure costs.

I can't remember exactly but I don't think there was masses of difference in going down to the next tier.What's the additional cost of running a category 2 academy vs a bog standard league 1 youth setup?

The Academy gives kids and parents hope and organised football practice.
Most don't make it but it gives them a chance.
There's more to the academy than what comes out of it.
Indeed. It's one of the things that makes us a community club.
The Maddison money will not be used on a single signing - the Wilson money covered some losses that season and the subsequent season.
How do you know that specifically. Surely had we not sold Maddison, Wilson etc then the recruitment budget would have been lower.
He doesn't, he is just giving himself licence he does not allow other poster to have? Where is your evidence of that Grendel?

Shocker Grendel agrees with what he has always accused Elliot over.No - I don't necessarily see the value of it either.
I suspect very few league one clubs have one of this size and I suspect they are not exactly envious - many teams still have young players play for them without such an expensive solution.

Hope that helpsHe did it in the championship which was fairly absurd.
I'm dispassionate about it either way. It's more the reaction I was interested in. I'm in an airport and rather boring.

As a wider subject is The Elite Player Performance Plan helping the English national side, is it producing kids who can go on and play in the EPL. Or is it weighted in such favour of the "big clubs" that they are able to hoover up all the talent and then ultimately a lot fall by the wayside.
It is of interest how a fairly innocuous opinion post gives such a reaction from certain posters.
Perhaps next time I should post "I couldn't give a fuck if CCFC got relegated" or perhaps "I know where we are going with these owners taking money out of the club"
These are clearly less contentious issues to many fans on here.
I note this with interest. I note the contributors and I note the absentees.
