Seems very strange for a long standing Academy to be downgraded with no apparent warning (Burnley had a year to sort out issues). Suspect the new appointments have been designed to resolve what ever the issue is and we’ll be reinstated, but probably not until next season.
Bearwood is not just about the Academy of course.....
Maybe the club did get a warning? It was in the spam folder of Paunos email..
Unlikely as he had nothing to do with the Academy....
The Burnley and Birmingham situations didn’t just come out of the blue, if we had been on a warning it would surely have been known about ?

Hound Don’t think there’s much doubt getting cat1 back is a priority. Hopefully just a year off
Tbf there was noise on here last year the academy was a mess despite some decent players coming through. Esp in the younger age groups. Had some limited insight into it and not heard anything to contradict that

It was. Total mess. U9s through to U14s just a shambles in terms of communication, quality of training etc. Sessions put on were no different to what you would find at JPL Clubs etc.

Royals and Racers Had a quick word with Noel Hunt before last night’s game at Wimbledon-he’s on crutches presently. He confirmed that the U23’s( and U18’s) will be playing in the professional development league(PDL) this season. In the U23’s it’s 2 divisions North and South, and i think we play all the teams in the south home and away and all the teams in the North once( 50% home and 50% away). We will also be in the PL cup.

If correct then last seasons competition had the following clubs involved:
Ipswich
Bristol C
Cardiff
Charlton
Millwall
Colchester
Watford
Swansea
QPR
Sheff Utd
Sheff Weds
Hull
Wigan
Crewe
Peterborough
Barnsley
Plus the other clubs like Burnley and Birmingham who have dropped down a level.

Thanks for the links- i see that the PDL have followed the PL 2 in making it an U 21 league.
Talking to Noel i got the impression that Reading are hoping that they will be restored to Cat 1 at the earlest opportunity ie 1 season only in PDL before returning to PL 2.

Isn't the PL2 an u21 league but something like 6 members of the matchday squad can be over that age - keeper may also be exempt from the age criteria.

Eamonn Dolan will be spinning in his grave - a top-notch academy was his true memorial at the club, and now they've buggered that up.
