Kenny Foggo 1,116 Posted April 7, 2021 To Marcus Evans, Thank you for your time as owner of that small club down the road.... At no point did I ever think, when you took them on, you could have turned them into the shambles they have become... A truly great effort much appreciated by supporters of the regions premier club...The entertainment value has been truly epic... Thanks again. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgncfc 1,223 Posted April 7, 2021 American ownership has largely failed outside the EPL, and even there has been mixed. I suspect they have no idea how much they will need to invest to get enough players of sufficient quality to challenge at the top of the Championship. As everyone knows, just spending money doesn't necessarily work anyway. Their first step should be to get a DOF who knows what he's doing and a level 1 Academy - but I bet they don't do that.

I am not sure if that is so easy, almost a closed shop now Edited April 7, 2021 by Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you suggesting that there are so many places available or that only certain clubs will be allowed in? Any club can apply but there are lots of things you have to tick in order to be granted the status. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,412 Posted April 7, 2021 Doesnt appear to be a closed shop according to this. they seem to be regularly reviewed and assessed. https://trainingground.guru/articles/six-clubs-bidding-for-academy-promotion-await-fate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
