Villan4Life Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) 42 minutes ago, useless said: The most interesting thing that he said about the academy hasn't even been picked upon, and that was that the U23 team is now below the U18 team. Not sure how that's going to work, but interesting also that the U18 manager Richard Beale has now left the club, and we're reportedly looking for a new manager for the U23s too, so looks like there's going to some sort of major restructuring going on. We are also looking for "Head Of Talent ID" For someone who has the FA Level 4 in Talent Management, Strategy and Leadership in Football. That qualification has only been out a year! So has to be someone who's already done FA Level 2 in Talent Identification & FA Level 3 - In The Advanced Principles of Talent Identification Edited February 20, 2020 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet they can't wait. Que sera....then they are no good for us then and we give them a chance elsewhere to have a career. You can't be sentimental in football. On the other hand, what if it actually makes them actually think they need to work as hard as they can and want to run through brick walls to make it?

He said that the U23's are under the Academy as in controlled by them and not the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The U23s will have always been controlled by the academy, since the U23s are part of the academy by definition. That's what I thought he meant, but before saying it he said that it's something that many might not realize yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really as they were the 'reserve' team before, playing in the reserve league until it all changed about 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Exactly my point in it's entirety. Purslow makes the comments just past the thirty minute mark in the audio of his Q&A with the VIlla Trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) He defo talks the talk, i just hope he walks the walk. I agree with what he said about the youth setup, and it was interesting what he said about wages & FFP etc, shows just how clearly it is designed to maintain the big clubs as the big clubs, and limit other clubs ability to challenge. I agree there needs to be some kind of financial stability and support for clubs in all leagues, but no way is FFP the answer imo.

He should have been binned off 4 or 5 years before he actually was. IIRC it was Bruce who gave him a new deal He was out on loan most of the time being paid by other clubs?
