    We've applied for Category 1 status and the decision is made today.

    Basically that we can nick players from other academies on the cheap, attract better youth players, better standard of academy and therefore have a better chance of profiting with the Financial Fair Play.

    It also means that, with 48 hours notice, our scouts can go to another academy and watch their players train.

    With FFP coming in its vital we get category A as it will stop teams coming in a nicking our players on the cheap.

    People like Jeff Schlupp and Liam Moore are just starting to make an impression both have made their mark already with Manchester United and England U21s.

    We would have lost them years ago for peanuts with the new rules coming in if were not category A
