Chapter 137: Pay attention to your own youth training

Since it is a meeting, it will definitely be accompanied by quarrels. Usually when these people sit down to discuss things, it is not always smooth sailing.

After all, the Notts County management team that Wei Xun built up one by one has a relatively wide age range, including those who are conservative, those who are radical, those who are practical, those who are dreamy, and those who are planning.

Everyone has their own different opinions. If you keep insisting on your own opinions, you will definitely not be able to have fun.

Therefore, youth training masters Billa and Crouchen suggest that everyone first take out the youth training regulations of England's top clubs and study them carefully. After all, they are also outsiders, and they are not very clear about the policies of the British football industry.

No one thinks that Notts County should set up its youth training echelon according to the standards of English League One clubs. If it wants to build it, it should build it according to the standards of Premier League clubs. This is the only consensus reached by the dozen or so people present here.

Okay, it's better than nothing.

Premier Zhou once said at the Bandung Conference, "Seek common ground while reserving differences." This time we finally have consensus.

Wei Xun was the first to express his opinion. He made a fuss about it, but was quickly overturned by everyone.

Not realistic!

So ambitious!

Well, seeing Wei Xun speechless, he and Zhao Tai could only squat upright at the corner of the meeting round table, calculating how much money would be needed to make Notts County's youth training camp look decent.

On the other side, Marotta and Villa had already opened the official document issued by the Football Association:

According to the regulations of the Football Association, the minimum age group for each club's youth training camp is nine years old. Above this, there is a team for each age group. Until eighteen and nineteen years old, two teams can be combined.

Age groups combined into one.

According to this rule, the children who first sign up for the Notts County Youth Academy should be between eight and sixteen years old. This means that not only do many children need to go to school, but some even need to be accompanied by their parents.

The current plan for Notts County Kindergarten, Primary School, and Middle School is to only recruit one class of students for each grade. After all, the base cannot accommodate so many people, and the enrollment of the first youth training academy should not be too optimistic.

To a certain extent, this can be considered true small class teaching, right?

In England, youth training contract terms are generally two-way. Children must ensure that they have a correct attitude and can participate in training on time; clubs focus on providing high-level training for children, equipping them with professional medical teams, and clarifying their career development.

Faxiang gives them the opportunity to participate in various competitions.

If one party violates any clause in the contract, the other party has the right to terminate the contract. This makes the flow of young players in England relatively flexible.

However, the youth training academies of English clubs have a "school district system".

In order to prevent those talented young players from being monopolized by big clubs, the Football Association specifically stipulates that players under the age of 12 must undergo youth training at a football club within an hour's drive from home, while players between the ages of 13 and 16 can

Training at a club ninety minutes away from home.

This requirement was not gradually lifted until 2012.

Therefore, the current Notts County must also comply with this regulation.

There is still a lot of room for development for Wei Xun and Notts County. After all, this guy has a golden finger.

If you have to disobey it, you can only do what Marotta said:

"The definition of this clause is very vague. Where the player's home is is crucial. If his home is at the Notts County base or somewhere near the base, there is no such so-called time issue.

, regarding the household registration matter, I believe Director Aronson and Mr. Baker can help us, and we have honored them so much, sometimes we have to ask."

Paratici also agreed with Marotta’s handling and added:

"The growth rate of young players is unpredictable. While taking away young players, giving the original club financial or competitive compensation and sealing their mouths can further increase the legitimacy and confidentiality of our poaching work."

"So, where should our selection location be?" Wei Xun, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help but ask.

These elders and elder brothers have been talking about it for so long, and before they finish, Wei Xun's stomach is already growling with hunger.

According to the habits of this bunch of workaholics, they won't go to dinner unless things are discussed and resolved.

Zhao Tai has taken the opportunity to run away, but what should he do?

Regarding this issue, Mr. Pat Devlin, who manages the scouting team, should have the most say. The old man has been immersed in British football for many years and knows this well.

If this group of people in Notts County were put into a group of thieves to explain, Devlin would be like the one who stepped in, Krauchen would formulate the action plan, and Billa would be specifically responsible for sliding the door and picking the lock.

, Wei Xun, Zhao Tai, Marotta went in to look for things, and Guardiola was responsible for selling the stolen goods...

“First of all, the center of our Notts County is definitely Rushcliffe, Broxtowe, Ashfield, Gedling, Newark-Sherwood and Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.

Basil Trough and Nottingham, because they also involve competition with Forest and Mansfield, we must establish long-term and effective ties with schools in these areas."

"Secondly, we should also reach out to Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium and other countries not far from England. In addition, the scouting point we established in South America regularly exports some scouts.

Report, that will also be the area we focus on. We only need to invest some more funds, and we can even achieve a fixed-point output cooperation model with small local clubs."

"You think Wei's money was stolen. I don't agree."

"I don't think we need to develop some foreign youth training players at the moment. We are a new team in League One, and outstanding young players will not come to us. If they are forcibly poached, it will be tantamount to a transfer. This is not only high cost, but also

It is easy to be boycotted by clubs from other countries and even punished by FIFA!"

Mr. Krauchen spoke, and his words were very practical and told the truth. With Notts County's current reputation, it is really difficult to recruit young players.

"Then go to Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. I don't believe there are no rising stars willing to come to our Notts County!"

"What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack? Scratching a lottery ticket?"

"If you use your small skills to make a big difference, why can't you achieve it?"

"Do you know Notts County? The clubs I have wanted to play since I was a child are Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool!"

"Then let's spend more money. As long as the treatment is good, someone will definitely come."

"Do you think it's appropriate to spend such a high cost just to scratch a lottery ticket?"

"I think it's appropriate!"

"I don't think so!"

"You..., hum!"

Both were respectable old men. The two of them couldn't agree with each other, so they slapped each other on the table, said goodbye, and stopped arguing.

In fact, this is also a conflict between the two people's youth training philosophies, but fundamentally they are all for Notts County.

Mr. Devlin's intention is to expand the area of ​​material selection, so that there will be one in ten, and ten in one hundred.

Mr. Krauchen's idea is to take root here, become a good player in Nottingham, and then recruit young players from other regions.

This coincides with the business philosophy of many companies, and industrial companies basically follow this path.

For a big fat man who can't eat a single bite, Mr. Krauchen is relatively stable.

But it was impossible for Wei Xun to let go of the colorful world outside England.

Wei Xun could only persuade the two stubborn old men one by one.

However, neither of them was willing to go to other rooms, so Wei Xun had to try his best to say good things. Finally, Mr. Krauchen was relieved. He could establish affiliated points overseas, but he had to get Nottingham first.

The area is sorted out.

Next, Wei Xun accompanied Mr. Devlin and talked for more than 20 minutes. Wei Xun, who was thirsty and tongue-tied, could finally take everyone to dinner.

The overall youth training policy of "based on Nottingham and looking at the world" has been set.

It won't cost much to set up a few small clubs to discuss cooperation, and Wei Xun still has the money.
