PL to investigate City's academy transfers

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Interestingly following on from Petrushas enlightened comments I had a quick look at the numbers. Its not small potatoes either!

The funding programme supports various Charities and Trusts not all in association with sport (Horticultural, YMCA Training etc)
Colleges, schools, academies and other institutions receive annual funding from Education Funding Agency (EFA)

Total Funding £5,421,098.381 (Thats 5.5 Billion folks)
Manchester Xaverian Sixth Form Funding for 2,271 students £9,872,371
which is well topped by a £20 Million to Hertfordshire & Hillingdon for General FE and Tertiary (whatever that is) and £27 Million to Oxford and £38 Million to Camden, even my local Tameside claims £11 Million, the numbers are eye watering.
If skulduggery is afoot let it be brought forth I say.
I would suggest our owners wouldn't dirty their hands with such trifles tbh

James Ducker who'd have thought.
The usual City centric headline when the article clearly states Liverpool are the convicted party. More click bait for the rag masses and sullying our name further.
I think I prefered Raheems trips to Primark!

What's the exclusive part?

Yet another none-story from Drucker, what were the odds?

Asked a lad I know whose sons at academy and he reckons all clubs are at it. Says it's gonna be harder to move from Cat 1 to Cat 1 now given premier league interest but says our younger ages have plenty of lads who we have bought from other Cat 1 clubs. He said there are 4 or 5 lads in under ten and eleven groups with more as you go through older boys. Ita probably always gone on and always will.
