Someone please explain to me why this is a problem. It's CCFCs academy, we rent the current site so why can't our owners just relocate it? Why do we assume that we rely on the council and higgs to support it and that they're obliged to support us? Let's sort our own issues out.

Err, surely if you are asking about "our worst start" then that's by definition a factual question, as "worst" in football terms is measurable in terms of wins, goals, points etc.

Are you asking a factual question? Better ask Jim Brown. In the Sixfields season, we may not have got past zero points by this point due to our deduction, but the obvious caveat is that we'd actually won a few games and our points todal / league position was artificially skewed by the -10. penalty.

"Sisu have approached him" ...what for, to get him to eat Tim's leftover food???

I suspect that the owner, and board, mostly not being football people, see the cost of the academy and see 18-20 year olds like Finch and Harries, then tell Mowbray to use some of the boys 'as we're paying them, we might as well pick them otherwise there's no point them being here'. TM, being...

What's the additional cost of running a category 2 academy vs a bog standard league 1 youth setup?

Do you reckon Kwame will be another Lateef Elford Alliyou whereby TM brings him in, has a look in training, reserve games and in first team cameos, then gets rid when it's clear he doesn't add anything.

Does anyone have a sense of the pecking order, i.e. it is 1 - Adjei 2 - Sordell 3 - Wright 4 - Kwame 5 - Tudgay 6 - McBean 7 - George ??

If TM didn't value the academy, why would we be picking so many academy graduates at the moment e.g. DKE x 2, Harries, Finch, Stevenson etc....I know it's a case of needs must, but if TM is happy for the academy to close, where does he think we'd pick up the equivalent batch of youngsters to...

Cheers pal. You in a similar situation then?

This. Bit of a problem as any uncertainty is going to cause unpleasantness - we live under the same roof and have got no alternative financially.

She keeps asking me why I'm looking cross and acting grumpy. We're signing a 12 month lease on a new flat today, and have made up my mind to go with it, hope for the best, and see what happens. But am feeling like I'm leading her up the garden path. Think we have very different futures in mind...

Packing today (day off work) ready for moving house. Used to quite enjoy it. Not so today. Slightly off topic but could I ask anyone on here, on a serious note, what the hell you do when you feel like you're trapped and you have got literally nobody to talk to, and you don't know what to do...

Model train manufacturer?

I agree and it's good to hear TM make clear he understands we also need more experience. I'm just not sure what's different between this season and last. What's changed? Now, we seem to be struggling to make quality signings and last season that didn't seem to be as tough. Budget's the same...

If Posh can afford him, why can't we? Don't forget, we are owned by a billionaire(ss).

We've made 11 signings since May excluding the renewals of Tuddy and Ricketts. The average age of them is 22 and that'll drop to 21 if the Villa lad joins. Sorry but the balance between youth and experience is too far towards the former at the moment. I think that's what did for us at the end of...

Might be pushing it to get him in time if no talks were in progress until now.

I'm just fed up of us signing players with no, or next to no, first team experience when clearly we have enough young players as it is and need more senior pros.
