I don’t get the point you’re trying to make? You don’t need a Cat 1 status to be in the premier league?
You also don’t need to consistently produce premier league level talent for a cat 1 status to be worthwhile. Also I would argue that’s a wider issue with the league that it’s consistently always looking into foreign talent for quick success. It’s not out the realms of possibility that with the incoming football regulator that the demand for domestic talent increases.
At this stage we are a club that isn’t going to generate a huge amount of revenue from matchday sales. Without TV revenue you’ve got to generate revenue through player sales. We as a club have earned a crap load more on academy sales than we have flipping players for profit in recent years. I’d rather £2.5m per year be put into the academy even those odds than signing a Dodo Sinik or the like. But that’s just me
It just wouldn't work even with billions to spend on scouting. Yeah, you would get plenty of good kids but they develop at different ages. You would need to be signing hundreds of kids at every age group and turning them over like cattle.
At under 10s alone I've seen tons of very good boys. Really strong little players. The chances are all of them will end up being brickies, accountants and drug dealers. That's not to say they will have lots of fun on the way but the standard to get to even u10s at Hull City is incredible.

Andy Smith being sold actually represents pretty good business. We didn't pay for him and I think people assume that because it isn't at KLP or Bowen levels of money, that it's disappointing somehow. He cost us nothing and we made six figures by selling him.
If we can produce one a season that is sold on for that much or more, it represents a very good production rate.
It’s day jar vue all over againHull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic won't have any further additions to his squad for the start of the pre-season camp in Turkey and reinforcements are not expected at this moment for the opening two friendly matches of the summer after the club decided to place all transfer business firmly on hold.
The Tigers will make no further additions to the squad until the club finds out the outcome of their appeal against a three-window transfer fee ban placed on them by the EFL, which could come in the next week but is rated highly unlikely that it will come this week before the club depart for Turkey on Sunday.
Sources have told Hull Live that the club has two active transfer lists. One is based on the club being handed a ban and, therefore, being restricted to free transfers and loan arrivals, while the other is based on their original targets if the ban should be lifted.
Adding to the forward line remains a high priority and something they have not been able to do yet, which is a major worry given their struggles in front of goal. The club remain hopeful of agreeing a deal with Oliver McBurnie, but that deal is on hold for the time being.
Westerlo striker Matija Frigan could yet arrive on loan even if the ban remains in place, though the mechanics of that deal would likely come under EFL scrutiny.
While it looks unlikely at this stage, even if the ban remains in place for any duration, City have not given up hope of striking a deal for Oscar Zambrano. Given the young Ecuadorian can't play until November, having been banned for a year, there may well be scope to make that happen further down the line.
Bringing in a left-back remains a high priority, and the Tigers still want to add in midfield and out wide, but until the result of their appeal is known, little can be done either way, and they remain in a state of limbo.
Man bags and thirst to be debt free by the age of 15What is it about an U10 that makes you think they will become a drug dealer?

Huge earning potential??**** pension but if they're still alive and haven't been shot they'll get the state one anywayWhat is it about an U10 that makes you think they will become a drug dealer?
Best playing it safe and steering clear of their sanctions then?Quite annoying the EFL can impose a sanction that comes into immediate effect but then give themselves no timescale to hear an appeal

You know nothing about KLP in his younger life or when he first joined Hull City's academy.thats missing my point
thats a tale as old as time in this country unfortunately
regards to size
but im saying he would have made it in whatever academy if he was allowed to flourish
we didnt have some special secret
