Bit different in regards to a 15 year old coming through? with potential to play first team football eventually. Obviously there is going to be better facilities at the top end clubs, but to be poached and pay 1 million just to make sure you have a pool of the best young players in england even before they've signed a scholarship is outrageous... | |

It's just business. Knight doesnt have to go same as Hurst didnt, nobody held a gun to his head, well let's hope not anyway. We have poached plenty of good young players over the years from other clubs. Football cannot be de-risked in that regard. If Evans does indeed come out and bang the drum on this he and we will be seen as hypocrites. | |

At what point did Shrewsbury spend the best part of a decade coaching and improving Hurst? He was on a rolling contract which they could have got rid of him on if they weren't as successful. By all accounts itfc have spent a long time trying to so their best for this kid. Its really gutting but not much we can do. I would hope we would somehow negotiate significant bonuses when he plays for England etc. | | | |

Youth development isn’t a public service- ITFC don’t do it to help the community, they do it because it either saves them money by producing first teamers or makes them money by selling players. If Knight didn’t keep improving we wouldn’t have developed him for10 years, we’d have binned him off without a care. | |

We poached a member of staff from a lower league team who had had time and money invested in them by their previous employer, just like we have done many times before. What's the difference? | |
