Just given notice of cancellation to these f*ckers , if i cant get to a match , i would always watch it on sky with the mute button ,but in future i will stream games i cannot attend .Unfortunately ESPN/BEIN etc are just as nauseating ,and full of rag/dipper pundits , so the mute button is a vital component of my TV.
Murdoch's rag/dipper obsessed empire will not get another penny from me.
Why with FFPR looming and whilst trying to catapult our club from a mid table outfit to Premier League winners would we start playing academy players?
Only clubs that have to play academy players actually play them and very soon we will fall into that category and guess what our owners have put in place the best academy in world football so we will be picking from a very healthy pot.
Funny that! Anyone would think our owners actually know what they're doing.

I'm no fan of sky, but at least report what they actually said. They said it's been six years since a player broke into the first team. Getting a single game is not breaking into the first team, you actually have to become a relative regular to be considered to have "broken through". The last player to do that was Dedryck Boyata, and he broke through...six years ago.
Did the report mention the following team which includes 8 full internationals playing in top divisions in England, Scotland and Italy. All from MCFC academy.
Schmeical, Richards, Mee, Onuaha, Trippier, Whelan, SWP, Barton, Ireland, Sturridge, Guidetti.
They've earned the club some good money in transfer fees and provided English football with a number of useful if not outstanding talents. City too have benefitted from the playing talents of a number of these. What else is an academy for?

LoveCity said:Januzaj is always considered a United academy product by the media and their fans. In fact, their "United have had an academy player in every match day squad for 328743289743289 games" stat that recently continued thanks to only Januzaj being in the squad.
For that reason, both Pozo and Boyata make this 'fact' untrue if you apply the same standards of an 'academy player' to us. Typical Sky, something I'll never pay for.
Edit: And Marcos Lopes against West Ham in the cup last season or was their stat Premier League only?
As is John O Shea, who is part of this "record". In fact he was bought from an Irish club, age 17, and never played an academy game for them as far as I can tell.

The OP asked whether it was correct or not.
The point that SSN may be making is that our managers have been reluctant to play the young players which i don't think anyone can disagree with.
Probably SSN are skewing the story towards their bigger audience which all media do but I am more concerned with why we give our purchased new players so much playing time to adjust to the PL with City yet are reluctant to do so with our homespun youngsters.
Are they unlikely to improve (ie PL capable academy failures) or are our expensive purchases being given preferential treatment ?
