wow surprising. any reasons given? coaching? cost?
Not surprising and DEFINITELY related to the coaching/programme, and as a knock on, the cost. Not sure if 11 is the number, but it is a
significant number. Mainland need to wake up and stop taking people's money under false pretences. For a so called " high
quality " programme it's a joke. Someone on this thread mentioned kids subsidising adults wages, and I reckon that's spot on.
All FTC does is buy you a ticket to the big table: i.e. NTC, Canterbury selection. If clubs can get their own academies going they'll
knock Mainland right out of the picture, which is all they're worried about anyway, hence the ridiculous wrangling between them,
APFA, and now Burnley. All they want is to maintain their current position as the organisation with the biggest slice of the pie...
pathetic...
