Sorry to change tack in the discussion but going back to the topic of how many players the academy actually produces, I was wondering on a related note how much people think it costs to run the academy on a yearly basis, including wages of the staff, etc?
i recently read that ipswich's academy costs around 3m a year so it's probably more than most think. as you said though, one kane and it pays for itself 10 times over or even a caulker/livermore accounts for a year or two.
