This concerns me a little, surely he had a contract until the end of the season at least? Are we seeing some gradual cutting of costs?

In the field he is in I would imagine that when a new job is acquired, it's best to let that person go straight away for a number of reasons. I don't think its cost-cutting as talk has already been about how he is going to be replaced, and an improved academy is to be developed.

Definitely. Although at the moment I struggle to see an improved academy without him.

Who else is renowned in youth development?

Wasn't that Barrow a good one, Medley?
