Nobody gets good in the professional game without some professional game time. We're not going to keep the likes of Jonny Smith or Pat Jones once clubs higher up come knocking, but surely we have a few guys that can play at National League level given the right training and experience. |

The youth debate has been done to death. I agree with a previous poster, it is the WST defining failure that can't be blamed on anyone else but themselves. I'm sure the new guys have done their research and are reminded of just how important a part a decent youth system has had in our successful periods in the past, and how important it will be going forward.

Re: Patrick Jones
Post takeover, I think the perfect role for the WST would be to resurrect the youth system/COE, fundraising and organisation etc. It would be a shame for WST to have no purpose in the new setup, this way it can still contribute towards our glorious future.
Leave first team matters our new director of football, Pele.

The youth never featured in any briefing or update emails from the club to members to keep interest up, they were never spoken about to local media. As an example, once a year we could have had a “fund the youth” game. Get them on the racecourse and ask fans to pay a nominal amount with a voluntary higher entrance fee to fund the youth team. I certainly would have been prepared to pay yearly for that. The club even rejected the chance to create a Directorship to drive acceptable standards even when all of the work was done for them by a members resolution. This was a zero cost solution laid out for them and they stood against it at the AGM. As far as the board was concerned this was out of sight out of mind and they used lack of funds as their excuse rather than look for creative ways to keep the centre prosperous |

Re: Patrick Jones
Exactly. Poacher turned gamekeeper init. Keep them away from Pele's businesss and a chance to rebuild following the error. I reckon this could work.

Maybe because it was Moss' baby, maybe they just couldn't be arsed playing the long game as it's not as sexy as hiring managers and signing 'professional' footballers, who knows? Quite frankly, I no longer care, just as long as those responsible for it's destruction clear their desks with regards footballing matters at The Racecourse.
