King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 137

Chapter 137 You need to focus on your own youth training
Since it was a meeting, it would definitely be accompanied by quarrels. Usually, when these few people sat down to discuss things, it was not smooth sailing.

After all, Wei Xun's Notts County management, which was formed from one radish to another pit, has a relatively large age span, conservative, radical, practical, utopian, and planned.

Everyone has their own different opinions. If you keep sticking to your own opinions, you will definitely not be able to play.

Therefore, the masters of youth training, Bila and Mr. Krautchen, suggested that everyone 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 world.

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

OK, better than nothing.

Premier Zhou once said at the Bandung Conference, "Seek common ground while reserving differences", and this time there is finally a consensus.

Wei Xun was the first to express his opinion. He babbled a lot, but it was quickly overturned by everyone.

Impractical!
So ambitious!

Well, seeing Wei Xun who had nothing to say, he and Zhao Tai could only squat upright at the corner of the round table, calculating how much money it would take to make the Notts County youth training camp look good.

On the other side, Marotta and Bila have already opened the official document issued by the FA:

According to the regulations of the Football Association, the minimum age group for each club's youth training camp is nine years old. Above that, there is a team for each age group. Two age groups rolled into one.

According to this rule, the children who sign for the first time at the Notts County Youth Academy should be between the ages of eight and 16.This means that not only many children still need to go to school, some even need the company of their parents.

The current plan for Notts County Kindergarten, Primary School, and Middle School is that each grade is only going to enroll students in one class. After all, there is not room for so many people in the base. Moreover, the enrollment of the first youth academy should not be too optimistic.

To some extent, this can be regarded as real small class teaching, right?

In England, the terms of youth training contracts are generally two-way. Children must ensure a correct attitude and be able to participate in training on time; clubs focus on providing children with high-level training, equipped with professional medical teams, and clarifying children's career development. Fa Xiang, give 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, which makes the flow of young players in England relatively flexible.

However, there is a "school district system" in the youth training academies of English clubs.

In order to prevent those talented young players from being monopolized by big clubs, the FA specifically stipulates that players under the age of 12 must undergo youth training at a football club within an hour's drive from their home, while players aged 16 to 10 can go to a football club away from home. Home nine [-] minutes drive to club training.

This regulation was not gradually abolished until [-].

Therefore, the current Notts County must also abide by this regulation.

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

If you have to disobey it, it can only be like 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 matter of household registration, I believe Director Aaronson and Mr. Baker can help us, and I have honored them so much, sometimes I have to open my mouth."

Paratici also agreed with Marotta's handling, adding:
"The success rate of young players is unpredictable. While taking young players away, giving the original club economic or competitive compensation to keep their mouths shut can further increase the legitimacy and confidentiality of our poaching work."

"So, where should our material selection site be?" Wei Xun, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help asking.

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

According to the habit of this bunch of workaholics, they won't go to dinner until things are discussed and settled.

Zhao Tai had already taken the opportunity to escape, but what should he do?

For 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 is well versed in this.

If the Notts County gang were put into a group of thieves to explain, Devlin was like the one who stepped on the spot, Kraushen was the one who made the action plan, and Billa was the one who was responsible for slipping the door and picking the lock. , Wei Xun, Zhao Tai, and Marotta went in to find something, and Guardiola was in charge of selling the stolen goods...

"First of all, the center of our Nottsshire must be Rushcliff, Broxtowe, Ashfield, Gedling, Newark-Sherwood, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The parts of Brasil Trau and Nottingham also involve competition with the Forest Team and Mansfield, so we must establish long-term and effective links with schools in these areas.”

"Secondly, for Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, etc. that are not far from England, we should also reach out. In addition, the scouting points we have established in South America will regularly send out some scouts. According to the report, that will also be the area we focus on, and only need to invest some more funds, and we can even achieve a fixed-point output cooperation model with local small clubs.”

"You think Wei's money was stolen, I disagree."

"I don't think it is necessary for us to develop some foreign youth players at present. We are new to League One, and outstanding young players will not come to us. It is easy to be boycotted by clubs from other countries, or even punished by FIFA!"

Mr. Clausen has spoken. His words are very practical, and what he said is the truth. With the current reputation of Notts County, it is really difficult to recruit young players.

"Then go to Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Northern Europe. I don't believe that no new star is willing to come to our Notts County!"

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

"How can you make a big difference with a small one?"

"Does anyone know Notts County? The clubs he wanted to go to since he was a child are Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool!"

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

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

"I think it's appropriate!"

"I don't think so!"

"You... huh!"

Both were respected old men, and the two refused to accept each other, they patted each other on the table, said goodbye, and stopped arguing.

In fact, this is also a conflict between the two youth training concepts, but it is fundamentally for Notts County.

Mr. Devlin's intention is to expand the selection area, one out of ten, and ten out of one hundred.

And Mr. Krautchen's idea is to take root here, do a good job in Nottingham, and then develop young players in other regions.

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

A big fat man who can't eat in one bite, Mr. Clausen is still relatively stable.

But it is impossible for Wei Xun to let go of the flamboyant world outside of England.

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

However, neither of them was willing to go to another house, which forced Wei Xun to change his way of saying good things. Finally, Mr. Krautchen was relieved, and he could establish a subsidiary overseas, but first he had to get Nottingham The area is tidied up.

Next, Wei Xun accompanied Mr. Devlin for more than 20 minutes, and Wei Xun, who was thirsty, was finally able to take everyone to dinner.

The general youth training policy of "Based in Nottingham and looking at the world" has been set.

It doesn't take much to set up a few small clubs to talk about cooperation, and Wei Xun still has some money.

Ps: I'm sorry, brothers, it's late today, I will punish myself for a chapter...
