Official Breaking news !!!!

The 14 year olds will all go to Man City or Leeds if there good enough let’s be honest.

If they show real potential, they won’t stick around at city

 

Nobody is argueing about the youth set up we need that to bring young kids through as we have done for many years.

 

They have said they wont pay big wages.

 

Yeah I think it’s good that they give all the kids an open trial pretty much via the foundation which Ian Ormondroyd and all those guys do a very very good job. They hold little training camps in the summer holidays and go to local schools which is great for spotting a little gem early so they can recommend him to the academy.

I think it’s great that we played the young 15 year old lad in the checkatrade last season. Hopefully we can put a few youngsters in that competition next season maybe 16-18.

I’d like to see this George Sykes-kenworthy be given a chance the goalkeeper apparently he’s been training with the England under 18s
So he can’t be that bad

 

But now it’s been done better

 

Now that is sarcasm.

 

Not sarcastic true

 

Where has it 'been done' better Park?

 

I think by investing in a good coaching system and a link up with the school. And hopefully soon better scouting

 

I've seen it myself when I took my grandson to the "Goals" trials, it was funded I was told by the likes of Manchester City, there were coaches from Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and others, and as you say they get first dibs oc te kids on show.

 

That is a good point. That is why if parents can see there is a better way of progressing hopefully by example we can convince more of this type to join us

 

I thought you meant it had been done better elsewhere. I understand now, you mean it is being done better at city.

 

Thought you debated facts.

 

I believe we are now doing it better in my opinion so I believe to be true. You don’t so we are debating it

 

So I think differant players develop differently obviously. When McBurnie played for us, he wasn’t the McBurnie of today.

But could that also be down too Swansea’s training, I have watched videos about McBurnie on Swansea’s YouTube channel where he’s in hydrotherapy pools and ice chambers and stuff, real elite development.

Say if Reece Webb foster had similar elite coaching he could better.

Does that make sense?

We have your players 18-20 but there not getting championship/premier league coaching and strength and conditioning , so there development is not going to progress as much

Sorry if I’m not making sense at all.

 

Not bitter at all Park, just passing comment. I did watch that squad (along with the rest of the Board in its first game) and in three other games spanning the management of both Jacko and Parky. Phil would tell you he liked one or two, eg a full back called Burns (now at Barrow I think) but that in all cases they were not equipped for League football long term. Probably the reason they were released in the first place which actually makes my unbuttered point.

 

unbuttered, sorry.

 

Try again unbiterred

 

I agree the standard was pretty poor but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done better which in my opinion it is now.
