Not to say it is a bad thing but Northern shouldn't put this out if they aren't going to follow it.
Yep. then you watch them play and have no idea why they are in there because they certainly don't stand out.

You can't then explain why the kids who missed out and went through the camp or ask for feedback - Doesn't provide a positive experience for any player who is serious about their football; and reinforces that football isn't about hard work or turning up day in and day out, its about the politics and off-field crap about "who you know".

And then all the football organisations wonder why we aren't producing world class footballers anymore - Because hard work will always win over natural talent when you have it all handed to you like that.
