Rags upset with City youth strategy (merged)

[Bentheblue]

When playing the rags we could ask our youngsters to declare at 4 or 6 like the first team.

That's because there is nothing for them to complain about. They've done everything they can think of to stop our growth, if they actually had any hard evidence that we had done something wrong they wouldn't hesitate in grassing us up.

Exactly - yet the press report it ...... how odd? Could there be an agenda here?

I like that, locked away for future use:

'We could have had ten, but we declared at six'.

Staggeringly naive!
Quite simply - they are the greatest club ever in the history of everything and their place at the pinnacle of football must never be challenged- especially not by upstarts like City.
They have history and a noble tradition of bringing world-class youngsters through their academy and every great player would pay them just to get the opportunity to wear that glorious red shirt!
Their evidence is ,that it is just not fair, and they may well be forced to stick their fingers down their throats until they are sick , and we stink, and how dare we , now go away.

Well, it does make the rags look the pathetic ones.

I don't very post very often. However I was talking to a Everton youth coach and they are already waving the white flag. They just can't compete on what we can offer. It's not about money it's what we can offer. I'll quote 'we can offer them football, but where is the education, where is the development outside of football, we're talking absolute peanuts to invest in kids and we choose not to'

Eventually, the other clubs will cotton on and decide the only way to compete is to offer the same kind of thing. And to be honest, given how few young players make it to have any kind of career at all, let alone a good one, that will be a good thing in itself. For far too many years youngsters got thrown on the scrap heap if they didn't make the grade - the educational focus and wider developmental one is a good thing in itself. And if what City are doing forces other clubs to offer the same, then good.

A devastatingly sharp fall....followed by a slow,lingering,embarrassing demise followed by a rejuvenation to 14th followed by more shite.

By the way.....no good ideas or recommendations on here bout what they should do. Never ever forget what we're dealing with here....cockroach vermin & despicable,vile cnuts.

Always have been....always will be. Hating these arrogant bastards is a healthy part of my life force.

Toot toot.

well said,
fuck 'em!

They dare not step up to the plate, our owners wealth has taken us to another level on every aspect of running a football club.
After all the years of being tormented by them, at school at work and down the pub, just sit back and enjoy the ride as the gulf between the clubs just gets bigger.
If they show interest in a player and we enter the race it's game over. If a youngster has a choice of City or Utd we will win far more than we will lose.
United are in a total spin from top to bottom and the speed that we have overtaken them and the plans that we have combined with not just the financial resources but the sheer quality if the executives that we have employed at all levels of our organisation will take one almighty effort to compete with us ever again.

The global City group is a master stroke by our leaders.

For our grubby neighbours to get back in the same ring with Manchester City they will need two things to happen.

1. A takeover by somebody with similar levels of wealth.
2. And even far more difficult to obtain by them. They need the above to have the skills in business, networking, planning , vision, structure, loyalty and class.

Man City Our team our club have won the lottery, the jackpot, the pools, the grand slam, grand national, Bully's star prize and the crackerjack pen when our owners chose US.

Good night and God Bless to Man Utd and all your trillions of fans around the world and enjoy living under a sky blue shadow for ever more.

General feeling on Rag Cafe is that the reason for this is that we're poaching all their best young talents - oh the fucking irony. Ryan Giggs anyone?
