Interesting idea to say the least Q :P

[CrowsFan]

After reading that thing on academies it may be the right move financially to not invest in the youth academy at all, but does that make the game more fun?
I think that if you are investing in the youth team then it adds that second dimension to the game because you can develop someone from just 16 years old into a gun of a player.
So for that reason I will continue to invest in my youths even if that isn't recommended

could take a few seasons before u start to even see any decent results

+1 CF.

True Daz but I'll take the risk.

[CrowsFan]

It's an interesting idea what you are going to do Q. You just need to hope you get some good youth pulls each week to work with

[roo boys!]

I am going to go back to investing in youth after I have been playing for a few seasons an can afford it.

As a comparitive - do we care more about the Socceroos or the Olyroos?

I mean we would all rather have a successful senior team, that's where the money and fame is!

How many juniors actually make the cut to the seniors and succeed in any sport? FTP included.

[CrowsFan]

Well that's true Roost, but I like the idea of building someone up from just 16 years old and making them good.
After all someone has to do it  ;)
