The Academy doesn't consist of just the U18's and reserves mate.
I do like barca's set up where at every level of their academy they play the same formations and tactics. the 'barca way' is ingrained into young players.
just posted about barca.
Fuck me that can't be right???
I cannot comprehend how. I wouldn't mind if we had bought quality and paid way too much on wages... But THIS??!
Probably true seeing that Cole's at £100,000-a-week and Henderson at £65,000-a-week contract.
Key words is salary structure. Remember this?

I know, but it's something we don't do
Surely then this basic feature means the academy might not be doing a great job.
Torres will have been on HUGE cash mind you, Cole too and a proportion of his wages will be paid elsewhere, Aquilani also... Jovanovic was a big earner gone etc... I doubt we are anywhere near the wage bill of city. In fact although i can no longer find the article i did read a pretty in depth one in the broadsheets tpwards the start of the season which outlined how we had slashed the wage bill..... im not sure which one to believe but all i will say is it wasn't in the fucking daily mirror.
it can't be true. same as man city? fuck off!
Think this is a new man highlighting the staff he doesnt want. No way would a board be making these types of decsions without input from someone who has knowledge of the game
Defo saved up from those failed signings' exits but there were quite a lot of ins too.
Seeing Henderson's on 65k, the likes of Downing, Adam, Enrique and Bellamy wouldn't be earning much less. Then there's the contract extensions of the likes of Lucas and Flanagan. Wage bill near City might be a little exaggerating but wage structure wise, we do seem extravagant, example when compared against the likes of Arsenal or even Spurs.
And how would an outsider know which people he didn't want.........
yep, I'm thinking this as well. in fact I think the only reason kenny was sacked today is because we have a cup semi final at the weekend.
It's Kenny, who else could it be?
Well if he's been in the game or even at the club previously he will probably know the capabilites of the people being released. I just find it odd that the board would be releasing a goalkeeper coach and and a technical analysis guy when then don't have a clue about football.
Why make these changes now he knew the club inside out surely he would of knew if these guys where good enough when he was first appointed.
i don't know if it's true or not but i've always doubted that line that we managed to reduce our wage bill last summer, despite bringing in 6 new players and - just as an example - still paying £30k a week of Poulsen's wages.
did people think we were paying the new signings in magic beans or something?
I doubt knowing what's going on,seeing people work & then working with people are one & the same thing. I know it isn't in an office so why would it be in a football club?
On a sidenote, John Achterberg was brought in by Rafa, albeit to coach the academy goalies.
True but didn't kenny work up at the academy with achtebrg. It's just all odd.... Its quite bizzare to be honest.
The Anfield Wrap - We're also hearing that Natalie Wignall, the in-house lawyer, has also left the club.
