having a youth production line to raise revenue keeps them afloat. but that's a business vision, not a football vision. imo. |

The youth production line, which ties in with hiring managers with inclinations to trust that, is a big part of it. But they also do have strategy. I believe when Koeman was hired he made recommendations for players in Holland and the club had already scouted and filed reports on the players he asked for, such as Pelle and Tadic, and inquiries had already been made. He was their long-term target when they knew Poch was leaving, so they made sure they were fully up to speed on the Dutch market. That's a thinking club. |

Also Arsenal, Ajax, Bayern... United under Fergie. Quote:
Also, if we look at under 18s to see the stats without Rashford it swings further against United. The same if we look at under 20s to include other clubs' youth players e.g. Alli, Iwobi, Origi, Iheanacho, Sane, etc. At the end of the day Mourinho has stated outright his belief that big clubs with pressure to win aren't the best place for youth players to develop... “It is important but this club is very demanding. It is a club where it is not easy to play football. The level of demand is high. The pressure is big. It is not the same to play in a club where people just accept a so-so performance, or a so-so result or people accept that you finish, sixth, seventh or eighth. This is not the best habitat for a young player to be developed. It is not the best one.” That pretty much settles it from the horse's mouth. |
