Ha ha. That high horse they came riding in on has certainly lost a few inches.

It's pretty poor from them, particularly given their whinging about our academy.

Hopefully someone will step in and make sure the kids family isnt out of pocket.

I am extremely excited about the likes of Mason Mount, Dijon Sterling, Ike Ugbo and Jay DaSilva
Hopefully we can give integrate them eventually with the First Team along with Christensen, Chalobah, Baker, RLC, Abraham and Traore

Dijon Sterling could even contest Moses for a spot right now
RLC needs a Prem loan then will come back and fight for first team

I wonder how WC will try and spin this to make it look like they're not in the wrong.

Not like they develop anyone decent anyway, if they wanted to really hurt Liverpool they should ban the Southampton academy

City's fault somehow?

They set the precedent LFC had to do it

Deathly silent on the matter. I wonder if it was a different club how much vitriol would be spouted already...

Through to the youth cup final with a 9-2 aggregate win.

This is our 9th final, 4th against Chelsea. Hopefully our 3rd win.

To the cheats/corruption thread.

In all seriousness I think every move between cat 1 clubs is subject of an investigation. Families/kids etc get interviewed etc and pretty obvious the rules have a bit of teeth. I think thats a good thing.

More than ever clubs have to be careful to do everything by the book.

Hopefully part of the fine goes to paying the kids school fees.

 

[ADL9798]

So was it just the match tickets offered to the family that we were pulled up for in the end? Surely that's pretty commonplace, I was expecting the inducements offered to be housing for the player's family or a car or something like that?

I like the idea of the clubs that can afford it paying for private schooling or at least providing some sort of scholarship for their academy players - it'd be a hell of an expense but at least they're setting up those that can't make it as footballers with greater opportunity for success in life.

Maybe that's not a common policy at academies around the PL but to me the most disappointing thing to come out of this is that that's my very wealthy club's stance on providing educational opportunities to their players (many of whom probably don't come from privileged backgrounds), regardless of what other clubs in the league are doing in that space.

Wasn't that started by a pool fan? #backfire tag Cooksen go you pups

That kid Liverpool tapped up is apparently training at Everton. His parents are looking to sue. Stoke looking for compensation as well.

Liverpool have complained about us signing one of their academy kids. As far as I know nothing has come of that though.

He's the son of a former player. I think we've said that they approached us. Been unable to play all year while the investigation goes on which isnt great.

u/18's broke chelsea's 26 game unbeaten run overnight with a 2-0 win. both sides with players to come in before the cup final.

Could put a dent in our youth development. Bit annoying but if the club has done the wrong thing, they they have to pay the price.

At least we already have a few in the academy who we rate pretty highly.
