Completely went over my radar that we sold him, for what seems like Peanuts.

As we are a Cat 2 club, Maybe we could have one Cat for football, and the other for Furball.

Which is why the much heralded five point plan is thirty years too late! We used to produce our own players in the days of Sir Bobby, and we were able to hang on to them to build a team, but those days are long gone!

Players from the Academy have already been picked off by the Cat 1 clubs before they even get a sniff at the first team. Charlie Brown isn't the first and he wont be the last.

The failure to go for Cat 1 status right at the start of the current system is another error made by the current regime which has/will cost the club dear!

To me it seems like we either spend money on obtaining Cat 1 or spend money on the squad, we quite clearly can't afford to do both. So given the 5 point plan the surely it would be wise to make sure, that when bringing through the youth players we are able to hold onto them until they reach an age where we get a season or two out of them and then make significant profit.

To be Cat 2 and not invest heavily in the squad means we are treading water in no mans land.

and if we invest in the academy surely the way the players are coached as they come through the age group should link up with the way the 1st team play?

Otherwise you have young players coming into a system that is totally alien to them and finding it hard to settle

Don't think Dyer was supposed to mention that.
It's a club secret, Evans has pocketed the money and it won't even be spent on the academy.

I agree with the sale, a club like Ipswich should be doing this but it is completely pointless if it doesn't get reinvested in the academy to upgrade us to Cat 1.

Yeah, if only there was some kind of communication device where people could write stuff for other people to find out what's going on in the world. Could someone invent something like that, do you reckon?

Whilst I think it was an error to not get Cat 1 - if a player is going to get picked off by the big boys it doesn't matter if you are Cat 1 or Cat 2. Brown had signed his deal so was effectively transferred to Chelsea for a fee befitting a first teamer.

Even if we were Cat 1 we'd have lost Brown had Chelsea wanted him, Cat 1 clubs aren't protected and there are still lots of transfers between Cat 1 clubs - even the big clubs. Man Utd are trying to refuse to play Man City at youth level because they are aggressively targetting and poaching players

If Man U can't hold onto their players, what chance have we got

i think he means the size of the compensation fee.

the club never told anybody it was 750k which is a significant amount of money (bigger than any transfer fee we've paid for years?), people were probably assuming we got about 100k.

I've been reporting figures not far short of that since July. Actually went over my head that that had never been confirmed when Kieron mentioned it.

OK the word secret is taking it a bit far.
But this fee has never been mentioned by Milne, he just talks about the "Murphy money".
This fee also solves the mystery of how we were able to buy Ward and Webster before the sale of Murphy.

I don't think we sold him. More he decided he wanted to join the Chelsea youth set up and we got some compensation.
