Guest Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The bit everyone forgets is that a lad of 16/17 coming into the first team is on a lot less cash than a jobber at 29 who has had 10 clubs in 10 years. It then allows you to bring in quality to fill in the gaps like Taylor, Farid and McGovern 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over say a 5 year spell it is reasonable to expect 10-15 players to come from the academy into the first-team squad. That end product and the funds generated from sales finance the whole operation that's how an academy system works.

I had Scobbie and Barr as pre-academy as I don't think it was officially an academy at the time. Still came through the youth system though. Barr was in the youth system in the Brockville days (YTS?) Scobbie was part of the Academy set-up along with Arfield, Mitchell, Allison. Stewart etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true I’m assuming M&S have been given the green lights to tell players (McKay not so sure as 1.5 years still to run)there unlikely to figure in remaining games. Hoping there’s some positive news behind this if true as maybe releases funds for one/two players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got in my head that's what Durnan is now doing whilst playing part time for Alloa. Him handing out the refer a friend vouchers could be the single best thing he ever done for our club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work out at £267k over 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
