Charlie Wyke is doing alright at the Makems after a decent spell at Bradford, or are we taling about playing in the Premier League?
I think the deciding factor should be to play at the level the club is at the time they reach the fringes of the first team. This means we are producing players of the quality we need.
Of course there is no shame in producing players who go on to have careers in the lower leagues, whose sales go on to fund the academy. But the primary function of our academy should be to produce players to improve the first team squad to the point we don't need an additional signing, and ultimately gets us promoted.
