from what I heard it wasn’t an improved offer it was less that they signed up for bloody joke disgrace

Who told you?

That doesn't follow the rules so I'd say that isn't true.
Are you trying to troll again?

It’s clearly you who has no idea how Academy, Scholarship and the related programmes they include are funded!

To activate the remittance clause they HAD to offer the players an improved contract.

If they offered reduced terms then they would be free agents so I would question the reliability of your information, or even better just do a bit of research yourself before jumping to conclusions to slate the club.

Well clearly he seems to know more about the funding than you seem to do, I haven't a clue personally so I can't comment on it, I don't know exactly how much of what he says is exactly true but other people seem to agree with him, you on the other hand despite your constant refusal to agree with him like a couple more on here who now incidentally have suddenly gone quiet offer no credible proof of what you say, your best reply was it's immoral and having got blown out of the water with that argument you have now decided to fudge the debate with some things that are difficult at best to prove, perhaps you could provide a link.

You really do draw some completely ridiculous conclusions just because someone doesn’t agree with you or is critical of the clubs actions on a certain subject. In your eagerness to claim some imaginary high ground you make yourself look silly

So we have 30 players in the Academy squad and taking your estimation of £30k to £40k per player we have invested around £1,000,000 (that’s 1£Million) in them!
You are way way off, the investment which comes directly from the club isn’t a fraction of that

We have 40 players in the Scholarship how much do you reckon we’ve got in them?
I’ll give you a clue by using one example
Scholarship physio will be on around £7k to £8k per season to work 3 nights for around 38 weeks a week and cover 8 games
40 Scholarship players = around £200 per player per season x 2 seasons of Scholarship.
Scouts & Scholarship Coaches are volunteers with the exception of the Head Scholarship Coach who’ll be on £3k expenses divided by 40 that’s £75 per season per Scholarship player x 2 seasons
So after 40% of their Youth Programme inclusion at £550 we’re a long long way from £30k to £40k per player

James batchelor was offered a reduced deal that’s why he walked another local player turned he’s back the club

What the hell are you on about, blown out of the water by who, saying what?
If you’re referring to Vastman stupid estimation then you’re as daft as he is
I can pretty much give you the full costings of the Youth system if that what you want

I’ll add this
I can praise the club for stabilising the finances
I can praise the club for assembling what looks like a decent squad
I can praise the club for the ground refurbishment
But, if I disagree with the club on the principle or morality of holding back 2 kids who want to leave I must have an agenda against the club, that’s pathetic!

Yes I also heard that rumour and also heard a similar rumour that Yusif Aydin was treated badly by the club and offered a derisory contract. Then we are all now hearing that these two appear to be treated badly in a like manner. However I have now heard that the same agent has acted for all four players. Could this have something to do with all this, really makes you wonder dosnt it.

Rumour being the operative word.
I haven't seen an actual fact about this on any of the posts so far, apart from details of the rules themselves.

Despite what Barry down the lane says, you don't know the details of the contracts
No one at the club has said they are going to 'hold a player back '
No club has said they want to buy them.

PT trinity treat the youngsters bloody awful what’s the point of an academy it’s embarrassing

You say that but I still don't see any evidence that it is true.
You may be right, but the evidence I can see in the public domain doesn't show it to me.

I'm interested to know were the info comes from, surely it's in the clubs best interest to treat all the younger members of the club with respect.
Younger players are the future of the club and its extremely difficult to understand why the club would treat them awful.
