Wolves Academy Thread

There was a conspiracy theory that we wouldn't play Mark Jones because if we did we owed Villa a load of money. Turns out he just wasn't very good.
There's actually an element of truth in this - the tribunal when he moved as a youth player from Villa did stick a load of clauses in, including appearance based ones.
 
Won 3-0

Harkin, Scicluna & Keto-Diyawa with the goals

Storer saved a penalty at 1-0
 
Steve Davies comes out of that pretty good as well
 
Another one, we've got Hayden Carson in our academy (16 year old midfielder) who is the son of the GK Scott Carson.
 
You hear of these kids when they are young but then get binned when things get serious. Froggatt and Phillips' kids were in but they clearly didn't make it. Nepotism gets them the opportunity talent ultimately becomes the barrier I guess
 
The problem is how many other kids get blocked because of it.

It's an opportunity which will be stolen from another child because of nepotism.

Which really shouldn't happen but does when ex-footballers are put in charge of places they're not equipped to be put in charge of. See Sellars, Scott.
