Now although producing talent for the first team the teams performance is firmly mid table over the past few years so make of that what you will.
Thanks for highlighting Tee. This is excellent & shows what can be achieved if a club works hard at it.
The club is well run & owned by Stephen Hargreaves who runs Hargreaves Lansdown the largest IFA inthe country.
Their model has a very solid foundation whilst retaining their coaching staff.
Raising £35M from selling two of Ex Academy players is testimonial to their plan.
We're a few years behind them & at present have to buy in First Team players & need to stay in the Championship next season.
Once that's achieved there's a model we can set up & follow.
