The problem is money in football rather than needing a football academy per se. Give progression through domestic football and see what wonders that does for the crop. Also, didn't Italo Galbiati set an academy up in Tobago?
It's an investment. Once the academy mold our talented players into individuals that can fit into a system - The funds will be generated via the transfer market. I also think it will benefit and encourage youths to make football an actual career with this facility in place.
Nuff said, we need a legit Youth Program in central!
