I’d imagine it’s progressed quite some distance since we missed out by 0.2% How far away are we from achieving it? [Post edited 30 Jun 2024 9:33]

The standards have changed a lot over the last decade and we'd have to upgrade significantly, adding more staff etc. Assume it will be a year down the line at the very least. |  | |  |

Isn't one or the requirements a certain volume of academy players going onto make senior appearences. I don't think it means for that specific club but like a Knight who then went onto city and had loans etc. |  |

It certainly was as that was why we missed out when we first applied. All good on all other criteria, apparently. Not sure of the stipulations on that front at the moment. We've had a fair few players move on very early to Premier League clubs, although without much first-team involvement that I can think of. |  | |  |
