The bare minimum will be more income for the future once it pays itself off.
Once in a bluemoon a quality lad will come through and float around the 1st team.
All he has to do is give a couple of good games or hold his own depending on position over a season - then sold on for a few million to promoted or clubs that always seem to flirt with relegation.
Then with pot luck at some point a real talent will emerge, not every year but having the pull to attract the best young n's can only help our % chance of landing next star.
Having this academy standing tall above the rest helps attract the talent and eliminate most competition. Reputation wise we now compete on that front also.
