    It’s claimed that at Man Utd only 0.5% of kids signed make it to the first team

    1 in 200. That actually sounds reasonable.

    The other 199 we take on loan.

    Every match they have played in the last 82 years has had at least one academy graduate in the squad. I wish we could say the same but our own academy doesn't pay for itself with what it brings through.

    stones paid for about 10 years worth of the academy...Brown will probably pay for a few more.

    With the amount of years assets won't have paid for it prior to that, the Stones cash probably won't have covered loses.
