I love Merson but there’s a lot of his opinions I don’t agree with

Really good discussion. Interesting points made about academy football and the pathway WMF provide for young footballers.

I agree with everything you say Paul. My boy has been in Academy Football since the age of. 9 with Cambridge United

The problem with grass roots is it relies on volunteers that are not FA qualified coaches as they have other jobs and the courses are expensive. The FA could give grass roots coaches a discount or even free courses maybe.
