    Sport England green light for wasps training base at Higgs

    I understand the reference, I don't understand my phones predictive text. Getting the wrong end of the stick and making a fool of yourself trying to score points as usual I see, never mind. I will let my Brentford supporting friend. Who is actually a villa fan who works for QPR academy know you...

    They may not be trying to damage them they just might not want to have anything to do with them at all.

    Sport England green light for wasps training base at Higgs

    I think they concluded its not really a planning issue. It's down the club to agree commercial terms. Ie the club don't have to lose the academy they can agree commercial terms over two sites. They will only lose the academy if they choose not to fund it. Which I think they are saying is not an...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    maybe you should have a quick read of what I wrote before you accuse me of lying. I find it always helps to quote someone aqcurately when you accuse them of bullshit. Also when you have finished getting your facts right. Google about Brentford you will find the reason put out there in the press...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    Yes simplified it as owners. However each time I mentioned it before I said Joy Sepalla, Tim Fisher and Chris Anderson. Glad you agree it won't be Tony Mowbray

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    I have a friend who works for QPR academy. They said that Brentford closed their academy because the owners felt that over the years it wasn't producing enough players who were making it into their teams and squad. Also they were not producing enough stars that were sold on for decent profits...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    The owners alone make the decisions when to keeping academies, giving up on an academy. Attempting to upgrade or downgrade an academy.

    How man at managers have thrived under SISU

    I did a list on another thread. It surprised me there are quite a lot from 2 1/2 years upwards up to Wenger. Unfortunately the list is about the same size as the amount of managers we have had since Gordan Strachan.

    Jodi Jones

    Hate to say it but I think he needs a couple of weeks out. In order to get himself completely fit. We desperately need him though. Would just hate to see him out for 2-3 months

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    yep re read the post. Sorry I think earlier in the thread there was a figure mentioned of it costing around 4 million since 2013. Not as above over 7 years. Saw the 4 million figure again and assumed it was that one mentioned earlier which I presume didn't include the grants. So probably it's...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    Yep he gave the opinion that TM and MV have a long term plan to get rid of the academy And later he said he wasn't against TM's views if he felt this way

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    Now all of the above I agree with. One question though when you state costs of the academy are you including the grants in the costs? My concern is also a decision to keep an academy is what is best long term for the future of CCFC for many years to come. We do not know if that priority...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    Possibly, do you think we picked up 7 strong squad players this season for 700k? Also do you think TM is engaged in a long term plan to get rid of the academy?

    What can all of us do to help the club?

    What if they are new owners who can have a relationship with Wasps and the Council. A fresh start from someone who has not been caught up in any of the animosity and not involved in legal disputes. Who can deliver a long term commitment at the Ricoh with greater access to revenue and secure a...
