From the BBC website:
The new tariffs will see a selling club paid £3,000-per-year for every year of a player's development between the ages of nine and 11. The fee per year from 12 to 16 will depend on the selling club's academy status - but ranges between £12,500 and £40,000.

So the youth system does make money and can continue to do so...
Just because we don't sell one player for £100k+
