Not true. People can check my posts to see the value i hold on youth development in this city.
From what i have seen of Pitts i dont think he is any better than what Cunningham or Green would be if they were awarded the same opportunities.

But at FC in recent years we've brought in Broughton, Fellous, McShane, Williams in just this way. I'm just saying that apart from Houghton we've not brought any players through to regular 1st team selection in the last 4 years, so it wouldn't be that surprising.
Our youth development is the first question I'd like to ask about at the next fans forum. It's been really poor both in terms of quality of output and first team chances given. Would like to know what they're actually doing about it. Not just talking about a "programme" with a stupid name, and what their commitments are in terms of bringing young players through. In 4 years we've gone backwards at an alarming rate.
