Totally agree that we should be looking at specialist coaching staff for U21 and academy. The ‘old boys’ brigade will not do our kids any good unless they view professional development as a career instead of a stepping stone.
I’ve got to know a professional U21/B team head really well and it’s fascinating to listen to him talk about his trade. So much more to professional development than most of us realise.
I understand your point but I do think that there has to be a mix; I think it's needed to have some people who have had pro careers who can share the intangible shit with academy players / young pros
