Don’t know Gipp but it must be worth it or these boys would have binned it.
In the ‘now’ and probably the short term it won’t be classed as worth it as people playing in the upper ages of the academy are not likely to get into our first team in L1 never mind championship should we go up. This is mostly down to the relegations and been in L1.
The academy has been kept on for the potential long term benefits. Look at the younger age groups at the academy, all doing well. If SD just wanted to asset strip the academy would have been an obvious place to save a shit load of money but they have kept it running and fund it as a cat 1 as he knows it’s best for the club in the long term!
