Quote ="Paul Youane"It'll be interesting to see if Salford do throw money at junior scholarship level. From this year there is no central funding or control of the scholarship and therefore clubs can recruit 13 year olds from anywhere into their academy. No longer will Wigan get sole access and first dibs on the large talent base under the old Wigan service area. If Salford are serious they should be throwing incentives at the cream at that level to join their academy. No quick return on investment but certainly a commitment to long term development of the club.'"
Think Marwan has already addressed this, one of the first things he said when he took control was he intended to build an academy with residential facilities at Barton so he could attract young players in the future.
Also he's had meetings with the management of Man City regarding the facilities at Carrington when City move their training set up to the Etihad Campus.
