The start.

Mentioned it on a thread a few weeks back. This, in my opinion, is headed up by Cravatt. Lots of emphasis on stats, data etc.

Edit - just to clarify here, not trying to act in the know, it's just where I think the majority of the investment will go, can see the method in the madness aswell.

We've been tracking him for years, would the recent changes in foreign player rules have had an impact on our ability to sign him? Jack Chapman's been the man behind many/most of our academy signings of recent years despite rarely having his name in print.

Yeah noticed that, have we been paying fees before now though? Not that I have seen, fair enough if so, I just think we'll see an increase in it now.

Looks like a canny signing, hopefully he will get an opportunity in first team squad.

No point funding an Academy otherwise.

If they are looking over in Ireland as they suggest then they need to be looking if they haven't at Sam Curtis of St Pats.
They are raving about him over there.
