Welcome Claude. The appointment hasn't got the excitement going for me like Koeman (other than making me £300 richer), however very interested to see how this pans out.
I also don't think we're going to cut our nose off to spite our face, and start chucking academy players into the first team for the sake of it. They've obviously got to be good enough and it seems that (following links to a few good youngsters) the club has acknowledged that and are looking to try and boost the younger ranks to improve the quality.
I'm seem to remember reading somewhere that, towards the end of his tenure, Koeman wouldn't even let academy players train with the first team and clearly wasn't that interested in developing them. Hopefully the new management will give them the opportunity to develop and improve - might even see a few gets some game time in cups like under Poch.
