Why is the academy run so poorly??

At last 50 yr red nail on head

Liddle & co. had great players to look up to & continue to progress when they broke into the first team. These last few years has seen Academy lads come into the team who are actually better than most of the first team. Basically, there hasn't been anyone to help them continue in their developmeny. lets not forget the Academy's prime aim is to provide BFC with players. Any big money transfers are a bonus (financially)

RE: No, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case

i think the 300k swansea paid for fallon will be the most anyone pays for him. fair play, i can see where you are coming from in thinking that he is an effective striker in the lower leagues but for me at any rate, he is not a good footballer and swansea made a mistake in paying that much for him in todays market. jon parkin is a different story though - i think he has the potential to be a good player and can not for the life of me see why parkin got rid. he had great presence as a young lad , remember his debut and thinking he looked a decent player. mind you i thought the same think about carl barrowclough in that he looked a very good prospect.

 

he was a coach turned physio actually so you are wrong

Correct.</p>

</p>Some thing of a problem child which I wont go into.
I'm sure you know why the club terminated his employment and at the time and the level we were playing at he was deemed not to be good enough.

It's not as if he left us and finished up in the prem.

 

Tony Carr the top honcho at the West Ham Academy....

Has just had his second coaching book published.</p>


</p>

We could have a whip round and buy it for our Academy Coaches.</p>

RE: Parkin cocker nt

no but hes left us and commanded a large transfer fee

 

I'm no judge either

I thought Carl Barrowclough looked to have some fantastic skills. And I genuinely believed Sean McClare was going to be a ******* reight player. I'll also admit to thinking Liddell was absolutely ***** for the first season he played for us.

Wronger than a wrong thing currently high on wrong potion after graduating from wrong school.

 

Aw , don't castigate yourself mate

(lol) (lol) (lol) (lol)

so.......

because there have been no superstars it means its hasn't been properly? how do you figure that? do you have insider knowledge that it hasn't been run right or do you mean why hasn't it produced any players we can flog for a million?

 

RE: he was a coach turned physio actually so you are wrong

Interesting one served in Kenya British Army.</p>

Police Force.</p>

Physio (uncharted) in Lincs?</p>

Never said owt to me about coaching before he joined us.</p>

In that case he could definately have  the UEFA B.</p>

He's certainly done some courses whilst at the well.</p>


</p>

 

RE: he was a coach turned physio actually so you are wrong

In any case I said he had done some coaching courses. Hows that make me wrong?
</p>

 

It's going to be a long time

Before you live that down , buddy .ff

 

Stick around, I'll blurt out far worse than that

Just counted them up and I reckon I must know about 287 words. And half of them are utter crap!

 

RE: Parkin cocker nt

If you had been the manager would you have put up with his behavior?</p>



If we had kept him what effect would that have had on club discipline?</p>

At the risk of sounding sycophantic

I have the utmost respect for you and am confident that you'll top "castigate" during a football rant !!ff
However , there's no chance whatsoever that I'll say "sycophantic" down at Oakwell !!!
