They were talking about reserve/youth/feeder teams JD. Which is a big step up from what the nix are now.
We had a youth/reserve team last season
You're making out like this is some impossible dream. Kevin Fallon basically runs a full time academy at MAGS, how difficult would it be to do the same thing at Wellington College but with the backing of a profesisonal football club? It's not THAT difficult, it just needs some though and yes, some money. Just because a strategy hasn't been figured out so far doesn't mean it can't be done. And I've thought about this for 60 seconds so it's not foolproof, just an example.
And you know what, "football people" aren't always the solution. Sometimes they're part of the problem because everything is "too difficult". Maybe it needs someone from outside the game to get involved and think laterally.
