Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
"It is an elite environment where Academy. Players are provided with additional access to coaching and the potential of full time education
from U12. Category 1 Academies can recruit nationally from U14 provided the Academy Player is guaranteed access to a full time education programme."
Just lifted this from the EFl web site, so does that mean Burnley can now recruit from a wider range of young talent?
Also what is the logic of this move, does it mean the existing players the club have got will become better because they are playing against better players or will they be able to recruit better players from elsewhere and at a younger age than now to attain a potential rise in standards?

The work started by Eddie Howe is now firmly, and mercifully, behind us.
Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
I'm amazed that Man U. aren't with their history of bringing through young players.
You'd have thought they would be head and shoulders above the vast majority of teams in terms of youth set-up

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
Like most others on here, I've never met you Tony, but you strike me as tolerant of other people's views, willing to see another person's opinion and a defender of their right to say it. The fact that you've made your view's clear on Jason Blake tells me all I need to know about him ...ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 4:42 pmWe were doing so well, under the financial circumstances, when Vince and then Dobbo were running things but with them gone, then Pash gone, then Andy Farrell gone, I saw the youth team end the 2015/16 season with nine successive defeats against Bury, Tranmere, Shrewsbury, Carlisle, Accrington, Walsall, Preston, Wrexham, and Port Vale. We conceded three or more in all but one of those games. I know it is not a results business at that level, that it is about player development but it was going nowhere, and nowhere fast.
Things changed during the following season. Jon Pepper got the place organised, the under-18s had a coach who knew was he was doing again in Michael Duff and then in the following season we got the games programme for the under-23s. I've seen us get better and better at both levels over the last three years. We are now taking a leap into another level higher and it could be very tough for us initially, but what progress we are making. Brilliant.
Edit: I ran in to Pat McKiernan a few weeks ago, he's back living in the area after spending some time in London, for personal reasons. Good to see him in fine form ...

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
Great news. Getting that investment in early into the academy was a great decision, many others in the adult setup haven’t been, so hats off where it is deserved. Time to make up for that Sherpa Van final defeat (I’m joking, it’s premature and even if it wasn’t I don’t agree with these young sides entering that competition).

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
I have another Rovers academy question - how productive has their academy been in bringing players through in the last 5 year? I don’t keep a close eye on them but can’t think of any hot prospects being sold for big fees since Phil Jones (whose fee alone has probably paid the academy costs for about this time period).
Also appreciate how well their academy runs doesn’t detract from the achievement of getting our own Cat 1 academy in place.
Really hope we see the talent coming through in the future. We need our young players getting championship game time on loan. That feels like the barometer of progress to where we currently are. Like Harvey Barnes and Ben White have done / are doing for Leicester and BHA.

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
Currently 12 teams per league. Someone could drop out if they opt to stop running a cat 1 academy. Teams have pulled out before - Bolton & Huddersfield did.
Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
Crystal Palace have been granted category 1 status.
Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
For presumably a non cat-1 side, in the past. How did Palace keep the likes of Zaha and Bissaka?
I thought it was pretty easy for cat-1 clubs to pilfer talent from those with a lower category status.
If we can start to see a few more returns from the investment, on the pitch and through sales, it’ll be well worth it.

To keep our Cat 1 status it is imperative that we stay in the Premier league, unlike Rovers we don't have benefactors.

With our now updated /modern set up we should find it easier to get and keep players.
Especially with Dwight showing that if you're good enough you'll play in the first team.

The money we had put on one side has probably been chewed up by the pause - it will be interesting to see just how much exactly in the next few sets of Accounts - yet some fans (and all the media) want Sean to have even more money to spend (when substantially less is coming in.

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
It sounds as though we need a minimum of 5 million to finance this a season.
I can't see us being able to afford to give this the attention it needs to get the viable returns. It could take years for us to find another Dwight Yorke to pay back the huge investment, by then we could be back in the championship.
Without a new financial backer this Cat 1 status is pie in the sky and way out of our league, we can't compete with the big boys on beer money

It’s not pie in the sky, it’s a massive step up for us in getting to where we want to be. The cost of it is more than within our scope.

I’m not convinced it’s just about big sales, if we can get players through that may not be quite up to our current level, there is money to be made through sales to lower level clubs.
It’s a huge commitment so let’s hope it becomes a worthwhile one.

The thing to remember about Academies is not just their sales but also the cost of recruitment and I am not just talking about EPPP rates. The big 6 clubs spend an awful lot on recruitment too - some recruits can cost millions. Even we will be paying for recruits and that has to be part of the overall budget.

Re: Academy Granted Category 1 ststus
If you sell a player who has come through your academy for £10 million say, that's £10 million against the running costs of your academy. That's easy to quantify. If you have a player come through the academy into the first team, it can't be quantified, but there is a value every single time he plays in the first team. So Dwight has now played over 50 Premier League games and he was, in effect, a free transfer signing from the academy. So, if we were to sell him now for £30 million (and I'm no valuing him here), the benefits are not just £30 million but £30 million plus the value of those 50 games.Chester Perry wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:37 pmMan City are close to reaching £200m in Academy sales in the last 6 or 7 years and in Foden they have probably saved around £60m in transfer fees already.

So you have sales and appearances as, in effect, income but also the costs of bringing players in to the academy as we did back in 2015 with players like Dan Agyei, Josh Ginnelly etc.
