Telling comments from the manager in an interview on the BBC website today:

"We have an Under-23 league and I feel it is an absolute waste of time. I feel sorry for the players because it is all 'pass, pass, pass' and they don't teach players how to win games."

Footballers passing the ball? Perish the thought.

It's not ideal phrasing but when I was at Man Uni, we used to go play 5 a side after Man City's academy sides played their games on Saturdays at Platt Lane. They're taught the fundamentals which is great but there's no intensity to the games and they're glorified training sessions. I enjoyed it because of the talent on show but it was not a competitive game by any measure. I don't think there's a benefit to u23 players playing that type of football.
