I reckon David, George and Pearson will be trousering a nice little earner from whichever club is ultimately behind this whole debacle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Underlines how pointless it is funding an academy at our level. the good players we develop will leave for bigger and better things, possibly via ‘feeder clubs’ like this situation. The bad ones we will release, and so we are funding the whole thing for the occasional half decent product like Palmer. its a waste of time and money.

Unless there's some clever financial jiggery-pokery we can use to subvert P+S rules. Having an academy has now become totally pointlesss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose high quality young English talent to Europe and at the same time a boat load of foreigners come and ply their trade in England stopping young English talent getting a game!

Bluesteel Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Quist said: Max Clark the Hull left back who is out of contract his agents were said be keen for him to go abroad. Hirst is under same agent and so may have advised him same. It could be they can make more money out of them by doing this. Actually think more to do with them overrating players value and pricing them out of market. Believe Clare under same Agency which does indicate a certain policy. I do not see it as good management. The loser in the process seems to be the player in terms of the standard they can play at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This deal has been lined up months ago .David Hirst cant stand our owner and he is friends with Pearson so arranging this deal so our owner dont get a penny is a result for him.bet there having a rite laugh together and in 12 months be a Leicester player for nothing.

Plonk Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 What a sad state of affairs, and part of my agrees that as it stands the academy process is now defunct. Something needs to be done, but while ever it benefits the prem nothing will. Time the efl broke away and started looking after our interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
