We used to get at least a year or two from our best youngsters before they moved on. Now the big clubs are getting round Bosman by signing them before they have a proper professional contract. Depressing.

If he's  signed he ain't  going anywhere without a fee the club are happy with, so I can't  see any reason  to take peanuts.

A lot of clubs have abandoned their youth set ups because of this.

Didn't Walsall get rid of their youth set up which meant that we got Neil Woods back?

Great opportunity for him if true, probally a few hundred quid more a week and the training facilities of big clubs, but far better opportunity of breaking into the first team with Grimsby Town in League Two.  Same goes for Burrell.

Pity we can't keep these young players for a few years and see what they really can do and increase their sale value.

To be fair I think the only player we ever got ripped off that came through our youth system was Kevin Drinkell.

None of the others that we sold enhanced their value after they left us ???


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The trouble is, that these so called bigger clubs turn young playes heads away from where they are probably quite happy.Once a player sees bigger stars in the sky you have lost them

Didn’t increase value though. We sold him for £1.5 million. Only other fee he was involved in was £1million.
