You need the academy as part of the UEFA club A licence needed to play in their competitions. Also we’ve just seen out academy director chased out of the club due to parents, players and staff being negative to the new ideas that are used aboard. We have produced plenty of players of a quality like Dire Mebude, Rory Wilson, Billy Gilmour, Nathan Patterson but they’ve taken, the rest have failed to get time thanks to Gerrard, Gio, Beale and so on.

We need to have a youth academy to satisfy UEFA’s requirements. Also a youth system is something a club should have, just like a charity foundation, disabled facilities and a professional women’s team. Even allowing for the failings of the youth system over the decades there are some positives. Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor were anomalies in being home grown players who were long term mainstays of the first team but they saved the club a shedload of money. Hutton and Patterson were also anomalies in being major sales but what those 2 players made for the club was vital. Compensation fees (Billy Gilmour and Rory Wilson) plus fees and sell ons for players who couldn’t establish themselves (the McCrorie brothers, Glen Middleton, Lewis Mayo), all add up. Let’s continue to invest in the youth system and look to make major changes to improve the academy.
