Why is nobody interested?
It's a proposal going forward this month that Premier League clubs:
Scrap the rule which indicates players can only be in the academy if they live within 90minutes of the club
Introduce an residential school for prospective players
Increase the number of coaching hours to academy players from 3,000 to 8-10,000 during their time in the academy
In short, we could nab a load of kids from Africa/Asia/Americas for our academy, as could any other club. It'll probably strengthen the larger club's academies, but will it be to the detriment of other clubs in the country?
I'm interested to see what people think.
