Re: No reserves
I sort of understand what your saying smudge,but you could say the same about the school of excellence.You need a interim/development team if you are going to produce your own players,instead of picking up released players.
Crewe do it despite competition from Liverpool/Everton etc..
It's a chicken and egg situation, so it's either all in or nothing.
It's the ability to attract young players with top class coaching/ facilities and opportunities ,even then, we have seen other teams loanees not upto it.
Hope leam now gets a more comprehensive junior scouting network going,with the selling point being the lure of early first team chances.
As always,most youngsters chase the option of playing for a bigger club,then going down the ladder,instead of the opposite.
Ps - keep an eye on the young keeper,good prospect
