Do we have any feeder clubs?

[Lloydystark]

Just read about how a Irish team called Dublin City (now folded) used to be called Home farm Everton for approximately 3 seasons as they had links and sponsorship deals with us. The major thing with us was we got first pick of the players (Richard Dunne). Later on it says Leeds had a similar deal with them and poached Ian Harte, Gary Kelly, alan Maybury and Stephen McPhail. Have we got anything similar going on with clubs these days?

Do you mean when brown shoes decided to bring all their crap players with him? Or something else?

No we’d rather spend big money on players who’ve come through another teams academy and failed in the first team.

I'd say no to a Feeder club, but i think our ties with Grear Steinsson, mean we'll have a good partnership with Fleetwood Town.

Even in recent time before he joined us the likes of James Wallace passed through McAleny is on their books , now we've got Connolly and Gibson on loan there.

Barton and Clint Hill are local lads, so maybe i'd reading too much into it, but still.

I think the academy system has changed this now, the club has now a more centralised control. In theory it is supposed to mimic the European teams that have a style of play and play the same way from the youth team to the first team to make the transition into the first team easy and to give a continuity. I think this only works with a few European teams, in the UK I have only seen this really with Swansea, as they moved through the divisions and it worked initially in the Prem, then the wheels fell off for them.

We pay inflated fees for their crap.

 

[Death]

Feeder I wouldn’t consider them that big to have clubs dedicated to them specially in Liverpool.

 

[RomanReigns]

we seemed to buy a lot of man utd players under moyes

saha
gibson
howard
phil neville

im guessing we must have formed some kind of relationship after selling rooney to them and obviously him doing very well there made it easier to negotiate with them.

Wallace also works as a scout for Fleetwood now, few other local lads on Barton’s staff as well.
