Won't be wrong ... because this one includes the club statement...

We invested £100 m in building the training complex because we realised we'd need a conveyor belt of 'home grown' talent to compete with the Big 6 and their FFP / PSR protection... others will need to do similar if not able to replicate what Brighton have done.

Think it says we've signed 9 up on it...

If that’s what you’re hanging your hat on, then I think you will be disappointed. Pretty much every club in the PL, most in the Championship and even some as far down as L1 have first class training facilities.

Various articles suggest it is legally binding, perhaps because it is signed with documented parental consent... what it also seems to ensure is that no other club is allowed to contact him or his parents directly but instead must direct any enquiries to Leicester City FC ...

As I said - lots of other clubs with academies will be copying this ...

Again - I'm sincerely sorry if it upsets some of the legal experts and agents that post on here <whistle>

Do you think Leicester have discovered a golden bullet. Pretty sure if you do it, others do it.

Looks that way - one of the greatest injustices in our game is the pillaging of academies IMHO - and I include us doing it - best emerging talent being able to be poached for peanuts is a damning indictment of any claim the authorities have to PSR / FFP...

Ain't like the big boys haven't got enough advantages already - indeed, would I be entirely surprised if the Prem/FA aren't already looking at potential challenges to the legality of what we are doing with this? - not really... but fairly confident we have got this nailed down in that regard.

Level playing field my arse ...

They do ... but ours is easily in the top 5 currently ... and it's no coincidence that we've now got the most promising group of youngsters coming through that I can recall in all my time supporting the club ...

Don't take my word for it - let's see what @brb 's new best mate thinks <laugh>

There's a lot of talk about the Super Bowl style entertainment at the CWC final with lots of fans saying they don't like it.

With all the crap that's been introduced into the game in recent years and of course the utter **** that is VAR I get why fans are not happy but if you separate the poor refs, bad technology, complicating rules etc from the entrainment is it really that bad? I don't have a problem with it at all as it doesn't affect the game itself.
