I’m convinced it’s generational. Barca had a brilliant few all together with Messi Iniesta Xavi, then absolutely nothing until Pedri. That’s one of the best academies in the world.
We had a decent flutter with Osman Hibbert Rooney Anichebe Vaughan then a gap to Rodwell Barkley, then a gap to Gordon. I’m sure coaching plays a part in it but I don’t buy into the myth we’d have a conveyor belt of talent if Unsworth left, the numbers seem about average.
Even United had Greenwood and Rashford and that’s been it recently. City with Foden. Chelsea didn’t have a decent kid since Terry really until Mount and James came though. It’s just cycles.
Branthwaite was unsworths staff not brands. I expected more after the academy ban and with him promoted to director myself though. Daniel Jebbison would've hardly been an inspiring signing either.Barca signed Pedri from Las Palmas. However they do have a few more players who look like they will be top notch.
Aside from DCL (Unsworth) and Branthwaite (Brands) theres not many signings that the academy has bought that you could say have improved
Gibson for £1mil rising to £6mil was highly rated and didnt seem to progress...the chap from Scandinavia (Jagne?) signed last year doesnt seem to be tearing up any trees.
As the academy director id have expected a few cheap highly rated signings to progress even if those at the club already werent quite there.
The allegations are of bullying new coaches and of a bullying culture at finch farm . there was talk of racism too ( not sure who the racism was aimed at) but I’m not sure I believe that one . Rumour that’s part of the reason Thierry Small left .Pray tell
Jose Baxter next hopefully.

they are just allegations but it’s been known for some while .
Big Duncan is next.
Sorry to say...
Jose Baxter to take over as new coach. Bill Kenwright recently deemed him "part of the furniture at Everton" and said he'll "always have a job here".

Jonjoe is on a relatively low wage compared to most in the squad, I like him and if he doesn’t a new contract off Everton he will get a signing on fee and a new contract off another club possibly in the premier league so Inwill be happy for Jonjoe whatever turns up for him.Exactly my point he should have been sold for £8/9m but instead we've kept him paid him a handsome wage following which he'll be gone for nothing.
There was a formal complaint put in by one of the youth team a few months ago.The allegations are of bullying new coaches and of a bullying culture at finch farm . there was talk of racism too ( not sure who the racism was aimed at) but I’m not sure I believe that one .
