' Some positive news '

Cardiff City are pushing ahead with plans to have our academy status graded to Category 1. Vincent Tan, Mehmet Dalman and the board of directors are backing the the ambition of the academy staff and money is being ploughed in to the academy to realise the Category 1 status.

Our club has the backing of the FA, having been informed that as a set up we are very close to meeting the requirements necessary to compete against academy's of Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool et all.

Scott Young has taken over as U18 manager at the club and has stepped aside from his role of football in the community.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spends as much time as possible working with the academy coaches, keeping tabs on youngsters in the system, the manager is extremely respected by the academy coaches.

Ole has scouts working in his native Norway, looking for youngsters that are good enough to enter our academy and develop into top players.

Ole's eldest son, Noah, is in Cardiff City's academy and is playing in the U14's.

Totally agree Chris, Excellent News

If Mr. Staff is not part of the staff, at least he´s doing a brilliant job pretending to be. My guess is that he in fact IS employed by the club, and that he´s not anywhere losing his job if the board found out who he is (like he said in another thread). Actually, I think he´s is asked (maybe by the owner himself) to contribute to this forum with positive posts as part of a new media strategy. Which, of course, is a huge acknowledgement to this forum. Or, I´m talking absolute bollocks. Annis, do you know anything about this mysterious person?

Anyhow, at least to me, Mr. Staff´s posts are most welcomed; I have yet to see any information coming from his hand smelling like BS. Very exiting reads, to be honest!

I have studied every post of his and I would not put it past our media dept to put all this stuff out this way. I have always said I would make stickies of Good and bad news regarding our club, I would much prefer it to be all like this though, Happy days

Not convinced, to be honest. There is a huge difference between official announcements and strategical leaks. Quite controversial, I agree, but none of his post are doing the club any harm, rather the contrary (included the one about Caulker and Campbell). If I was Tan or Ole, I would be quite happy about those posts...

Personally Ian, I dont understand why some are so concerned by his/her alias name, as long as its real news and no bullshit, who cares and if its good news even better

Category 1 status would be huge for us and would help us bring through a higher calibre of youngsters and would stop the Cat 1 clubs from poaching players from us.

I just did, and I got a veeeery interesting answer back. Unfortunately, I´m not allowed to tell, and there would be no point in referring what he said either, as I´m sure none of you understand Kristiansund dialect.

Looking good!

I had a feeling this would be a focus for VT. The academy is something to be proud of.

Out of interest, what has his reliability been in the past?

Kristiansund is one of the Norwegian dialects. Think it is a tongue-in-cheek comment to be honest. If it isn't, then the forum has a surprising member. Lol.

If he is ITK why didn't he know who Ole was signing in the last transfer window?, the academy would need overnight accommodation and classrooms for cat 1 status and all that is in the plans for the new training grounds but that is on hold at the moment. So Mr Staff can you tell me how is it pushing ahead at the moment

I've no idea.

I think there are enough clues as to who this poster is without spilling the beans and getting him/her into trouble [which based on his/her posts I don't really think he/she should worry as they don't seem to disrupt the team].

Anyways



Looking forward to more of his/her posts.
