        Can't poach them until their 18?

        Doubt that could even work.. just seems so unfair that like others have said above, you coach them from 7 to 15 and they just get plucked out of thin air.

          No, you can get players when they’re eligible for final Academy contracts which are usually signed at sixteen - that’s what happened to us with the likes of Matondo, Crew and Biancheri.

          What I’m saying is that if Leeds and Man United were looking to sell Crew and Biancheri in the future, they’d have to offer them to us for whatever we got in compensation for them.

            Good early goal by Isaak Davies.

              1-1, ropey defending from a corner.

                Yes that would be a good thing to implement. Old clubs get first refusal, makes sense.

                I was thinking more to a rule change of the age, I guess. I'm not really itk on the rules.

                  if they are looking to sell them for a large fee to a big club then the players aren't likely to want to come back here are they?

                  I'd like to see a mandatory sell on clause for all players under a certain age, where the transfer fee is proportionally split between by how many years over the age of 8 say that they've trained with each club

                    That’s not a bad idea.

                    There’d definitely be those who’d choose not to come back to their old clubs, but I think it would be quite attractive to others, especially if it meant there’d be something available to give them a more attractive signing on package.

                    The under 21s game is 1-1 at half time, pretty drab stuff really with City looking as lacking in creativity as the first team - Isaak Davies is doing his chances of a call up no harm though.

                      We've had Ashford and Simpson playing for us today. Not sure we've looked solid as a rock though.

                              Should have won that. Butchered a few very good chances.

                                Finished 1-1, poor stuff with the lack of creativity and finishing which has characterised the season to the fore against a team that are bottom of the Northern section. The only real quality deliveries were from Tom Sang with crosses from which Mark Harris andJames Crole should have at the very least forced the keeper into a save, but, instead, they headed over. Cian Ashford did draw a good save from him in the dying seconds, but it was the sort of opportunity he really should have put away.
