No one was going to take on positions within the club with so much uncertainty hanging over it! I worked for the academy and trust me it was in a dire state, pitches were terrible, equipment was second right, the office was not fit for purpose.
but despite all this there was still some very good and well qualified people working there, the first team has been siphoning money off for years leaving the academy to get into the rundown, out of date and not fit for purpose dinosaur.
Hope these people get jobs at clubs that will value them and give them the backing and equipment they deserve, as these along with the staff at the ground and club offices are the people who are baring the true cost of years of underinvestment and bad management
