100%. Seem to remember that Dave Sexton did a similar thing and look what happened there. Tbf I do think that Les, Hoos & Co are trying to do that. Not yet there by a long chalk, but the direction is right.

All except with academy rules big clubs can just poach any of our kids for nothing so all that investment is wasted.
We need great coaches etc., but we need to take the best released 17 and 18 year olds and polish them up with a loan network and in our first team, on professional contracts. Just like we’ve done with eze, lumley, chair etc.

Ah yes I think someone did a brilliant piece on this problem a couple of years ago - not written by Clive - possibly Simon someone or other?
