Herbert claims they failed their audit. Strange, it’s an Ofsted type audit that highlights areas that require improvement. It’s not a pass or fail audit.
The funding will not have been lost following an audit – the EFL has a duty of care to the educational welfare of their students (Apprentices).
Funding that we no longer qualify for will be because Mr H scrapped the U9-U16 EFL Academy teams. What remains now play grass roots football.
If offers were made to 8 players but only 6 accepted – then they’ve obviously accepted offers from clubs higher up the football pyramid.
On Saturday the 5th August 2023 the U18s lost 1-4 to Doncaster Rovers.
When we last played them in November 2022 we won 7-2.
