There wasn't that much money in football in the 80s. Footballers still didn't cost much and you didn't have to pay them much money so there wasn't a massive amount of money saving for bringing through players.
heh, I'm making the blunder of thinking that there actually was a point to clubs having youth teams back in the day, other than to give some crony cunt something to do. English football has always been terrible for this sort of thing,
I was listening to Herman Ouseley and Gareth Crooks talking about this sort of thing. They were pointing out that the situation in English Youth Football had changed substantially, as a result of two key structural reforms. The First was the professionalization of the Academy system, whereby coaches were hired on the basis of their qualifications, combined with the Rooney rule, which meant that they had to interview at least one black candidate. Because Appointments are increasingly made on the basis of the best person for the job, and coaching ability is unrelated to skin colour, the proportion of black coaches was quickly heading for the proportion of black footballers, and even higher, because.....
the Issue remains that at senior level, you neither have the Rooney rule, or the Professionalization of coaching. Every time a manager is appointed, he brings in all his mates to do the coaching, and as for the rooney rule, there often isn't even an interview. Essentially getting your foot on the ladder of first team coaching requires you to be buddies with a manager, and that's where the problem arises. They were very insistent that this is a structural problem, that needs to be addressed structurally, rather than just tutting at individual stories that come out while ignoring the root issues.
