brownowl91 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 After yesterday's post I deleted I think it's only fair that after finding out information I issue an apology to the swfc academy. The initial disappointment of the coaching levels were from over 2 years ago and a lot has been worked on and a lot of staff changes have taken place since then. My next point was a lack of follow up in recent weeks from the club after a game v young owls! I have been informed the club did do this through the proper channels of contacting his junior club. I didn't realise that no approach could be made direct without consent of the club so again I appologise. It wasn't my intention to bad mouth the club I support or the academy that is working hard to put things right. I was just a disappointed fan and parent who had felt had a couple of bad experiences one from along time ago and one unfounded. I did not realise this forum was so powerful and could cause so much upset and would like to give my sincere appologise to anybody who feels misrepresented or unfairly labeled. I as much as anybody hopes the academy continues it's hardwork and progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingOwl Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Don't take it to heart. A lot worse has happened at sea. You apologised yesterday - so don't beat yourself up about it. You may actually have achieved some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Its a big man that comes on here to make his apologies if they think they were in the wrong. Lets hope the young un gets back to enjoying his football wherever that may be and you can enjoy watching it. I of course am right with everything I post cough cough ahem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hadn't your lad trained with both Wednesday and United fairly recently though, but only enjoyed the training at United? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownowl91 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 He'd trained at weds 2 years ago and didn't enjoy it (fair play changes have been made since then) and trains at utd now and loves it! My recent grievance was that after re-scouting him they hadn't followed up the interest with anything. I've since been informed that it was followed up but through the junior club as that's the FA guidelines. So as explained to me my post seemed like a personal attack on the new regime when Incident 1 was from the last regime and incident 2 has been a misunderstanding. I said I would apologise for this hence my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieOwler Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 People need to complain in the open. Nothing will ever get sorted if not. I could complain about a phone company and get no response but as soon as I tweet about it they'll sort out my problem and then blow me off.
