Its so obvious that Levy has presided over a complete brain drain. Id back a few people on here to do better. We need a D.O.F a return to the historic playing style of the club a new scouting net work and a blue print for how we will play across the age ranges. I honestly think Levy should step down.
I do think this feeling is instigated primarily through a lack of communication. There has been, not enough, info on our website if you look hard enough for it, on the academy structure and how it worked with it's aims etc... This was evident mostly when McDermott was here.
On the same theme, it also shows just how powerful having a winning first team, including academy players has on our psyche has fans. When Kane, Mason, Bentaleb, Rose even Carroll, then Winks etc were all getting mins this attracts the interest of the media, they ask questions and dialogue opens up, fans do their homework too and therefore many feel a connection to the Club different from the connection they had with a team made up of purchased players.
This also feeds more pieces from the club, people looking deeper at the academy and into the U18's etc.
The moment results don't come combined with dross football and a team made up of zero "new" (not Kane, Winks etc) academy players despite the chest-beating and false PR grandstanding by Jose, it just undermines the confidence further.
Ultimately everything stems from the dinosaurs shambolic time in charge, a complete change in the philosophy of playing, not just that was played under Poch but also not played by any of the elite football teams in Europe! It's this that makes no sense, no logic, no planning, no strategy. If there is one there's nothing communicated to fans to give an explanation, so instantly the trust and connection that previously existed are instantly severed.
