Disappearing Info on Youth Academy Players


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed that the official website appears to have removed all the info on our up and coming youth academy prospects. It used to be interesting to see who was coming through at youth level, what positions they played, who was being capped at youth international level and it also meant that when players were breaking into first team squads you knew who they were even if you hadn't been along to see the U19's in action.

After the well documented success of the youth academy in recent years in bringing through Kenny McLean, John McGinn, Lewis Morgan, Stevie Mallan, Kyle McAllister, Jason Naismith, Sean Kelly and either doing that from scratch or developing young players not wanted by the ugly sisters youth academies and lots of discussion about how well we did or didn't do with transfer fees, surely it is a backward step in a club moving towards fan ownership to have less info on who is playing regularly at the older academy levels, who has been representing us at youth international level, who has been offered professional contracts by the club etc.

Are the club trying to protect them and possibly stop them getting poached? There is some info on the reserve League elsewhere too.

I had wondered that, or there could be safeguarding issues as well as the issue of advertising their brightest young players to other clubs.
