I understand that our Academy kids are on somewhere between GBP1,000 to GBP2,000 a week, depending on their experience.

That is obscene, £50k - £100k to be an apprentice. No wonder they don't have any ethics.

Well yes, but bear in mind that only a handful will advance to be first team regulars while others won't make the grade at Spurs but will play in the lower divisions and quite a few won't be playing League football at all.

Its only a handful that get in the papers though. By and large for one Ashley Cole there's a thousand down the divisions, who were at big clubs and filtered down, who would never dare go near the public eye. Lee Hughes springs to mind

That's the point though surely. Paying these kids such a large amount of money in their mid teens will only tarnish their work ethic as they are already earning more than most of their parents and not actually doing anything! It's ridiculous.
I've said on here before but although there are a lot of problems with American sport, I admire the way that they handle youth, with college sport and the drafts etc.

But we know nothing of his abilities to coach, the best players don't necessarily make the best coaches, and the best coaches aren't necessarily the best players.
Hopefully he'll be doing his badges and once he gets them we'll see what happens from there. As much as it would be a lovely fairytale, coaching may not be his passion or his calling in life.

Ex-Spur Hawkins has Ajax trial
Former Tottenham player Ronnie Hawkins is on trial at Ajax after leaving White Hart Lane in the summer.
Hawkins, 18, played in a Ajax Under-21 game on Wednesday, watched by first team coach Frank de Boer, and is hoping to earn a contract at the Amsterdam Arena.
The Irish youth international, who spent part of the summer at Norwich, where former Spurs coach Chris Hughton is manager, played alongside first-team players including Derk Boerrigter in Wednesday's match.
Hawkins is not the first teenager to be taken on trial by Ajax following his release by an English club; Aston Villa academy graduate Harry Forrester turned out for the Amsterdam giants' youth team last year, though he did not end up signing a permanent deal and now plays for League One side Brentford.

Our fixtures in the group stage of the NextGen Series are now complete with home and away dates against Anderlecht confirmed.
We'll travel to the Belgian team's Constant Vanden Stock Stadium on Wednesday, October 31 (kick-off 7.30pm local, 6.30pm UK) before the return match at Hotspur Way on Thursday, December 13 (1pm).
We opened our campaign in the Under-19 European competition with a 3-2 win at Wolfsburg before a 2-0 loss against Barcelona in front of over 10,000 fans at White Hart Lane last month.
