The Bellingham money more than makes up for it though
50% hit rate on those long term youth contracts, and you're minted and/or have one hell of a young first team squad. And all home-grown.

I guess it screws the numbers slightly.

Exactly. Look at what happened with Bellingham compared to what happened with Greenwood, Stephenson, Pye, Hugill etc, etc

Partially. I do use the phrase hard of thinking occasionally, if only for the times I have to endlessly repeat verifiable facts (like accounting requirements and company law) only for people to carry on spouting rubbish. It gets ....... tiresome.
Which is why this will be a key appointment. I just hope it's all true.

Che Adams was signed by Birmingham at 18. Wasn't doing much at Sheff U before that.
Maja, Asoro, Honeyman, Pickford, Robson, Mumba.I'm struggling to think of too many more

Should probably have read the thread then
Sounds like he will bring organisation to the club on the playing side. from the academy teams to U23s right through to the first team.
Each player having a long term programme for progression, got to be the answer to our woeful recruitment problems.

This is clearly a progressive and positive appointment looking at his CV to date.
Only time will tell but it looks as though some real thought has gone into bringing him to SAFC, which in turn suggests real changes are afoot.
Let’s wish him well.

After what seems like being badly run for decades, are we finally about to get some good structure in place?
Eventually it seems so, think it’s a new ownership appointment too which is encouraging

Who knows, in 15 years maybe we too could be 18th in the Championship.

I’d say 99% of people are happy with this appointment if true - you should know by now it’s virtually impossible for this forum to be 100% satisfied.

I’m bored of negativity on here mate, it saps the will to live.

You might want to find a different club then mate
for the most part this has been cautiously well received. This place is often negative because the club keep making negative decisions. They start making the right appointments, signing the right players, running the club with the right ethos then the mood will shift.
