It would’ve been a merry jape as we sign a few of their players (instead of rearing our own). Shan patter.

His players were desperate to come to Hibs so he should maybe ask questions of his own club before mentioning us

Is it not unprofessional of Goodwin to reference the business of another club at his own club’s AGM? I hated him as a player, but was warming to him as a manager ........ back to the drawing board.

Does any of this have something to do with that partnership that was announced. Is our development side now called Stenhousemuir ?

As I said yesterday, perhaps the thread should be removed by the OP (before it appears as "fact" in the daily record)?

Plus feel like we are seeing youngsters being given more and more chances, though I do wish Ross would be a bit braver with getting them in the team.

I think the idea of the academy is still worthy of discussion. I've never believed in very young kids being put into a Pro Youth system. I think there is an opportunity to review how it is setup. I'm sure it will be on Rons agenda at some point.

Something must be happening for him to mention it.

Perhaps the thread title could be changed to 'Some prick at St Mirren falsely claims Academy is to close'

I don't know about now, but St Johnstone only concentrated on their 1st team squad a few years ago if my memory is right.
They had no academy and to be fair, with the crowds they were getting, who could blame them?
I've said it before, most EPL clubs only have academy's as a box ticking exercise. There are grants they receive that fund them, but mainly for the money spent, they lose money in the long run.
Obviously there is the odd exception, but it's the lower league clubs that benefit more often than not, by picking up those players that don't make it at that level.
I'm on the fence with academy's, i can see why, but i'm not 100% sure they are worth the time, effort and expense?

Seen some stuff on the B&W army sit on this - https://www.blackandwhitearmy.com/fo...omment-1763252
Relevant para is this -
"2. Academy Update - some players have left as club felt they would not make first team. Club always looks to provide a pathway for those who leave. Academy games restricted due to COVID, but unlike some clubs (Hibs) St Mirren have kept the Academy going throughout the pandemic. Club have put some players out on load to gain experience, but there is limited football being played. High hopes for a number of players including Lewis Jamieson (Striker), Kieran Offord (Striker) and Dylan Reid. It is hoped that Dylan when he turns 16 this season will make his 1st team debut if all goes well"
eta - that was an excerpt of Goodwin doing an update on the playing side.

IMO, Pro elite youth has actually worked against the younger footballer. Training with Hibs or any other pro football team at 8 years old only gives out false hopes and parents bragging rights.
get the kids into school football let them play Boys club level basically two games a day, remember when you played for the School in the morning and your boys club in the afternoon and as a protest on a Sunday.
LET THEM PLAY!

If RG was looking at the current Academy set up and was looking at returns in terms of players making the first team then it's definitely a part of the club that's worth looking at in terms of what we are getting from it.
When RG first came in and made his infamous "pony up" comment it was in respect of us contributing to the building of more facilities at EM. That quickly went off the agenda so ,while I wouldn't take what JG has said as fact , if we are looking at the Academys function at a time of decimated income streams that makes sense to me.Last edited by Brizo; 22-01-2021 at 08:58 AM.

I've seen a few pictures on social media of kids who look about Primary 2 or 3 age signing forms in front of the press conference board and holding up the strip and stuff and it just strikes me as wrong. No doubt the kids will get a kick out of it but I find it very uncomfortable. This isn't kids playing at an open day, this is young kids 'signing for Hibs' and the sad fact is the vast majority will be back out the door by the time they reach 14 or 15, potentially regarding themselves as failed footballers.
