Also on your other point....
Again this boils down to not having youth system and opportunities. If you get the players in the club from a young age then they will feel some sort of loyalty and desire to 'go all the way'.
If other young players are making their way up through the ranks and being given opportunities in the first team, then this will spur on other youngsters at the club to do their best and try and push through the ranks too.
However, if your youth are not being given first team or reserve opportunities then any potential youth you could recruit in your area are going to look elsewhere for clubs who have a pathway for youth to break through.
If the opportunities are not there, then there is no incentive for you to recruit youth or retain youth. If a young player at your club doesn’t make the 17 come match day, then they have nothing o look forward to or other avenues to shine as they can't compete in a reserve grade fixture. All they do is go home and have a cup of tea?!

Hardly proving a point. It's more like stating the obvious
