From what I gather, there are other young players getting interest from other clubs. I'm sure Mick will know more than me.
That's correct, there will be more pain as the club has to keep up to its commitments to repay the creditors.
There's no Full Eighty Minutes this week due to everything playing out in the background. We will be back next week.

Now we are out of special measures and can offer contracts, I think the rules about academy players are we have to offer them an equivalent contract but if they leave to join another club with a better offer, then compo has to be paid. So we get something.

Yes, the compensation works out at £100 per week that they were in your scholarship and £175 a week that they are in your Academy. Adds up to a recent sum when they reach 18/19.

it was inevitable that this was was going to happen, tragic as it may seem the players that have been sold should lay a foundation to work on to save the club, as for the fans you'll need to stand back and see whats left and if your willing to support the name of the club and where your playing from one day these players may return but to what will depend on you and whose in control, from a outsider point of view I'd be fuming and I'd walk away but I didn't with my club and we went through a hellish time too but nothing like what is happening here.
I genuinely do hope you return to better days, having a mother and family who comes from Idle and Thackley even though my club is Wakefield I don't take any satisfaction of a rival club being torn apart

One of the three will be loaned back to us, so small crumbs of comfort.
