Chester hasn't, in my opinion, got a good youth system as the only way to get those players out there is to throw them in at the deep end (for whatever reason). Sure, it has helped to get larger fees (marginally, we're still not talking big bucks here, apart from the lad at Leicester), but at the cost of the club being relegated. They don't have a reserve team either and sorry but youth football is no reflection on the harsh reality of Conference League footy. The proof of the pudding will be next season when we see how many play regularly, and how successful they are.

I could also throw back at you that they'd have eventually broken into the first team, neither of us know for sure.
For some of us this is the bit we enjoy the most about football, seeing if the new and upcoming player reaches their potential or doesn't, sadly it didn't happen with Robbie Evans.
Well they've got an area to improve upon like us, a clearly defined pathway, it'll be interesting to see how they go about it and whether they can sustain the success so far.
I suppose what angers me the most is those at
Chester can see the importance of developing players and have done everything possible to ensure it, yet those at the top for us come out with the importance of getting back into the league as well get funding and building from their, every single time regardless of what others are doing.
The question is, how long do we keep throwing money at the first team with no success before trying something else or tweaking things?
