Youth development
To summarise 1) Funding has been withdrawn from next season onwards 2) WST putting on £85k to make up the shortfall 3) we will get NO compensation for players moving to a EP3 (??) club 4) Youth team will be based at Lex and Morgan Llwyd while Colliers is being upgraded. I hope I'm wrong and it'ss hard to understand the full implications from a few short tweets but none of this sounds good, it fact it sounds bloody awful and makes me question what is the point of having youth development while we're out of the football league.

Re: Youth development
It's very worrying; the rules are totally stitching us up. The fact that money is being directed to youth after this development is a rare piece of good news though; given the total failure of our first team only approach I wouldn't mind more going to youth (including more focus on released 16/17 year olds - we don't seem to go there) with the express intention of it providing a set number of first team squad places at the end of the process, for better or worse.

Re: Youth development
It's not more money though, it's money we were previously getting from the football league by the sound of it.
Is £85k pa value for money to invest in youth development when we have seen virtually no young players making the grade in the first team for years.

Re: Youth development
Nice 3 year strategy, amazing that WPL clubs who get just shy of £30k a year in funding from the FAW have better youth setups than us.
Excuse after excuse, some clubs will and do payout for players regardless of rules in place. If they can't be ar*ed seeking sponsorship or replying to clubs who are offering compensation despite not having to, what's the point? Shambles! |

Shambles![/QUOTE] Sponsorship definitely needs sorting but which players does the 2nd part refer to? Up until this season clubs didn't have any choice but to pay compensation (and most still do have to). Last edited by tokyored; 25th June 2018 at 21.41:58.. |
