Great point too re. youth development. Challenge for most managers I suspect is that if the average tenure in the Premier League is now less than 18 months, how many of them believe they will get the chance to benefit from investing in youth?
If premier football comes at the expense of seeing the next generation coming through then for me it is wasted ; and it becomes irelevant whether we stay up. Williams loan pretty much confirms that outcome for me

Saints are the only team who arent interested in short term gains and they have been richly rewarded. Are you saying there is something in the water down there ; why should all the best youngsters come through southampton!!!! Kai Kai could be getting a 10 or 20 min run out and gain some experience in the premier in games like yesterday - when we were not going to get anything. Cameron Jerome cant shoot to save his life ; he is lazy and taking away oppotunities for the likes of Gayle or Bannan

It is telling that the 44 regular England professionals of the last 20 years (25 caps or more) launched their careers at just ten clubs. Southampton are indeed doing well right now, but they remain exceptional in that regard. Most clubs get this part of the game badly wrong.
