Thanks. That's the kind of news that seldom makes it across the North Sea, so I'm glad of the knowledge.

Compare that > with any other successful English teams Oh sure. And I'm quite willing to believe that their youth scheme is part of their success. However, logically your statement is not a refutation of the original. It is quite possible that the recent trophy hauls are due to smart buying of players. Without an exhaustive analysis of each player's part in the successes, you can't make definitive statements.
