    When/how did you hear that?

    What's the difference between the two?

    Heard it from someone at the academy whos kid is trying to be poached.

    Apparantly according to the chasing club all academy contracts can be ripped up and classed as nil and void. Not sure how true that is, but its what hes been told about his lad.

    Academy players' family to find out tomorrow apparantly.

    School of Excellence sounds better than Academy and we will have the best facilities for an S of E in the country. Concentrate on local lads and not other 'academy' cast offs

    Certainly hope not. Supposedly brings a big grant for the running of it from the FA.

    Dont know about that.

    What worries me - if it is true - that the current academy players can rip up their contracts.
