Fantastic job by the players and coaches.
Special mention Nicky Butt who's been an incredible addition to the academy.
He is in charge of the academy.Woohoo.
What has Nicky Butt contributed?
Yes, but what has changed under his leadership, specifically?He is in charge of the academy.
He appointed mckenner,improved scouting, brought a lot of quality players in from other clubs and thats just the things us fans get to see and hear about.Yes, but what has changed under his leadership, specifically?
The assumption that he has been the cause of the improved form this season must be based on something?
It's not an assumption. Anybody who has been following the academy will tell you how much improvement he has made. Anyway it's been talked about enough on here. Read "The academy restructuring thread" on youth forums if you're so interested in what Butt has done.Yes, but what has changed under his leadership, specifically?

Thanks!He appointed mckenner,improved scouting, brought a lot of quality players in from other clubs and thats just the things us fans get to see and hear about.
Dont think its an assumption, the facts and results speak for themselves and dont think km was meaning just the improved form this season, we'v been improving pretty rapidly since he was appointed, culminating in winning the northern league this season. Since butt took over a couple of year ago we'v gone from being well behind a lot of academys the 3 areas i mentioned above (coaching, scouting, recruitment) to now being one of the top academys in the country both on the field and off it.
The ex professionals kids is kinda irrelevant unless they are the best players in their age group.I dont really follow the academy so this is good to see and bodes well for the future. I thought city were miles ahead of everyone at this age though and sure I read articles saying every ex professional was sending their kids to citys academy etc.
