S.A.F.C. - the future

Imagine actually running the club professionally and acting like you give a **** instead of asset stripping and running it into the ground

This is why Stewart. THIS

 

After reading the tweets more than once yes that dawned on me . Interesting choice to promote internally to the top academy job instead of appointing the new lad to it given he spent 5 years as an assistant academy manager

 

I think Head of Coaching is actually as senior (if not more so) than the Head of Academy role. If coaching as an area has been taken away from Head of Academy - that role will surely be more down to the management of the people, parents etc. And if this guy has been there a long while he'll already know the parents and the kids.

 

The future of this club has to be about the academy. There has always been a rich vein of talent in the North East. They don't all have to be Henderson or Pickford, there are plenty of lads from our academy who have gone on to have good careers after being discarded by us. And that is before you start talking about the Hugills, Pyes, Greenwoods and Mumbas.....

Invest in the academy - not just financially but emotionally too. Prove to these kids that there is a route into the 1st team. Take a gamble on them and let them show what they can do. I sincerely hope the emergency free signings like the Harpers, Lynchs, Lescotts and Wrights of recent years can be a long and distant memory. If you cannot use your u23s when you have an injury crisis then when can you?

Makes sense. Dickman was our head of coaching

This is the best news we have had since we where the bank of England club and some are nit picking

 

Not nit picking mate, just getting rid of the lops.

What's them

 

Brilliant news, the foundations are being well and truly laid. The academy is our medium and long term future. Flash Gordan who used to post on here must be well pleased.

 

KLD by any chance?

 

Not keen on the colour mind

 

Is Lewis dickman related to Elliott?

 

If he decides that he doesn't like the the colour anymore, I'll have them.

 

You forgot about 'ing'

 

No, they’re mine.

 

Seen the news about the new pitch going into work and came out of work to the news about the academy restructure, fantastic that mind

 

Seems like a great lad as well as a good player, would love us to explore making him permanent in the summer. Sadly he’s too good for League One so we may only have a shot if we’re promoted.

 

Do we think KLD will be interviewed and put on the safc website? I read somewhere he had already done the interview.
