Whichever way you dress it up, there is a well establish word which best describes such activity within many walks of life.
PARASITE - An animal or plant that lives on or in another animal or plant of a different type and feeds from it.
How FC can claim they are a conveyor belt of young players is beyond me, correct me if i'm wrong but wont they be have a full quota of o/seas or non fed players next year including a starting pack that wont contain any uk born players.
They may produce young players but how many go on to produce there potential in a Hull shirt the majority of these players seem to have to leave to give their careers a kick start.
The Briscoes and Houghton may be ones to come through (and for england purposes I hope they do) but if the past is anything to go by hey'll just and up vilified by there own crowd and shipped off like the Tommy Lees and Graham Hornes of this world.
