Simon's Church Hopefully just trying to freshen things up and not the start of defunding the academy and youth teams.
Last couple have years it seems u23 and u18 results have dropped off a bit, we've lost 2 academy directors and seen youth players celebrating reading defeats. No announcement of new U18 scholars. Something doesn't seem right.

Might be looking at something similar to what's going on at Brentford?

Who knows? If it saves money and directly benefits the first team by allowing us to keep hold of our best prospects (by offering them a direct route to the first team) then maybe it is something the club should look at.
I really don't know though.

I thought Brentford just completely got rid of their academy? As in no players at all.

Hopefully not, almost undestandable for them as they struggle to recruit and keep hold of players being surrounded by Chelsea, Fulham and QPR. Not sure what our excuse would be

Bit of a stretch conclusion there. Club is having a massive refresh at coaching and playing level. Bowen states it is his job to refresh the culture, big part of that will be new coaching team who buy into whatever that culture is.

I don't think it is quite as cut and dry as that. They have a B team, or reserves if you will, rather than a full blown academy, but that is still used for youth players and players to be developed.
