Funny how he criticises coaches for coaching for themselves trying to progress through to become a manager. He played politics behind the scenes to become ours!
I agree with him though on the whole.
What went against him, is that he is a completely self-serving, narcissistic, disingenuous, chancing, politicking, weaselly, gob-shite, bell-end.
I don’t want to dampen everyone’s day , and I am not having a negative impact on our u18s winning ability , but I do feel matt wells is beginning to sound like one of these managers to win at all cost to further his career . Example , take today’s game against Norwich bottom of the u18 league , surely we should have used today’s game to play players that hardly get a game and perhaps some u16 , eg Thorpe , Rafferty pedder , Chay cooper, Kacper , could have started the game but 2 of them were not even on the bench , perhaps starting okedina Mukendi and Thorpe instead of benching them , considering some of the boys already played 3 days ago . So what I’m trying to say is as sherwood is saying some of these boys are giving the easy pass to further their careers in a quick and easy route and they are normally the ones that fail as they haven’t had to graft and go through the tough process , whilst others who are just as good but are not in the said chosen group , for whatever the reason , are left out and given a tough pathway . By us winning 6 7 8 nil week in week out at u18 level is not benefitting anyone but the managers . But at U23s level that is a different ball game so by winning at that level you begin to attract the other teams to take our boys on loan for men’s football or even for a permanent move . So maybe wells would be a better option as an U23s manager ? This is just my opinion
The sun, I know, are saying the the top six apart from City are all after Sancho with Dortmund wanting over £100m for him. Whilst it’s most likely bollocks I do wonder how many times a similar situation will happen over the next few years before the penny drops for pl clubs to realise how wasteful they are

Sancho is obviously one of the most talented of his generation but even if players such as Bennetts or Griffiths or the ex arsenal kids who went abroad turn into £40m or £50m players my point stands imo, plus how many more young English kids will be looking at Sancho and thinking abroad is the best route to success
English clubs will simply put buy back clauses in a sensible prices to stop massively inflated fees I suspect.
On Sancho's buy-back clause:Cant put clauses if players are leaving before signing long pro contracts
