I agree with most of what you've said Breconsaint, but you're now noted as an academy to watch. The top clubs will be circling your youth players like vultures, now that this has passed.
So true PNP. Although I think the rule is ridiculous, if I was a scout of a Premier League team, Southampton's academy will be one of the first I'd be circling round.
Your finances won't compare with those at the top though, unfortunately. Ours don't. Chelsea have a wage bill of around £100m more than us, for example.
Yes, well we'll all suffer in comparison with the top 3-4 (financially) clubs. We would have won the League Title in '84 if we'd had the money to match the depth of Liverpool's squad. (Shame there was no Champion's League back then for runners-up!) It's got far worse now.
