The Debt.

Any more news?

No need to be childish...

I agree. Except that I'd say it's you who's this board's equivalent of a child repeatedly squealing "Are we there yet?".

Well if you think we're getting out of this without going into administration I feel sorry for you.

Do you only get limited access to a PC or something ?

I really don't get what you don't get. I can't be arsed going through it all again. Read back .... oh .... & then fck off.

Clearly a troll, who is failing badly.

Best to ignore, he will f*ck off, of his own accord then.

I'm not so sure, I think he's managed to put some sore of recurring reminder in his calendar.

It's probably entitled something like "Ask really dumb question on The Wanderer"...I 'spect there's some sort of XBOX "Achievement" to get, if you ask the same dumb question every week for 135 consecutive weeks.

Cheers - I'm considering outsourcing most of my negative emotions. I might ask Bobo to feel indignation for me, thebish to feel argumentative on my behalf and Dan to feel utterly mystified so I don't have to.

Ooh! Ooh!

Can I have utter fecking frustration?

It's been one of those days. May as well have yours too.

A mate of mine is managing a contract with the club on the new academy.. This is how it will look and clearly where a lot of our money is being invested. He diverted me to this...

What a feckin waste! A third tier club with that setup? We've got a bunch of pricks that end up nobodies now, why encourage it?

[boltonboris]

Because it'd be the best way to improve our academy to the point where it possibly helps the whole club run properly??

They have still not proved the big bang theory yet and judging what they've based on that there will be the biggest screw up of all time if they don't.

With Gartside here, we'd be better off funding the local under 14's leagues!

[bobo the clown]

That seems like one hell of a facility though. It's not the thing of a club going into administration.

Now I'm confused.

Great facilities helps. One might say are crucial. But I'd argue having the right people running it and scouting and coaching are probably most critical. I mean good facilities will help attract those people, but you still need to do it.

You do realise that I'm talking about the academy here don't you?

[Prufrock]

So you don't think the right people running it and scoring and coaching are critical to the first team too ?

Not as confused as Izual Rebirth is!

[BWFC_Insane]

Well yes, but they're different beasts.

We can't judge the academy very easily. But I'd question how much investment has it had, over what period, and what has it produced in return, and who has been running it/coaching within it over that period?

My point was that having a great facility is brilliant, but it doesn't produce the players by itself....

The last time one of our youth really, really came through was when/who ?

I can see some middling 'successes' but ... unless my memory has gone Nolan (who we got after he was rejected at L'pool) & then maybe McAteer & Stubbs ?

We cannot possibly compete in the market for the top talent even if we were back in the Prem. so this at least allows us to attract youngsters many of whom will be picked up by Premiership giants but later let go and maybe we'll be the best option and some who will feel better in a pond from which they can imagine succeeding. We just have to make it work.
