Hard not to be concerned at the loss of what would seem to be three key individuals in the recent succesful youth set up (this being the final of the three).

An easy stick to beat the current ownership with.

The reality of the club is that anybody who proves they are good will be offered better roles elsewhere and thats the same under most ownership.

The concern would be who the hell plans and recruits for the Youth staff going forward? I guess super Gav!

Be Mark Moss academy manager wont it

Gone from a head coach role to be an assistant?

And also that the assistant we promoted to be manager (Kirk) will not be replaced in his previous position. Hmm.

Sounds like further clandestine cost cutting.

STFC U18’s start pre-season with a 3-1 win over Brighton U18’s. Owiti, Dorland and Sowe the scorers.

7 first-year scholars confirmed. Only 1 is from the STFC academy previously and 2 have just been released by Scum. Either way Ameen and Brown were both signed the same way a few years back so clearly that method can have success.

Mixed feelings here. Clearly it's got us some good players in the past (Ameen, Brown, Morrison) but I'm not really sure what the point of an academy *is* if it's not to develop local lads who the fans can get behind. Certainly monetarily it'd be 'better' just signing cast offs from other teams at 20-21, no?

But yeah Barrack Yeboah is the best name since George Cowmeadow and Shyaam Taank.

Nor the football camp in New South Wales that Gunning turned up for and signed some posters at.
