But then the whole system is bordering on a scam

How many Norwich fans are pleased that our Academy is better at producing players for teams below us in the pyramid than bringing through 'Yoot' to our First Team?

And why is there a booming transfer market between Cat 1 clubs of players who are destined to never make it at the top levels?

Fans still expect top Acads to only have top talent - look at at the expectation levels around Jacob Wright.
