Too funny. I played around with how I could include Lucas Cook into the title or even a title for 'in charge of weights' but I assume That would be Cale's baby as well.

What, university is patronising but academy isn't?

What if it was a sport society? Or a practice institute? Are they preferred namesofr not?

or a Skills College

For starters, one is patronising, the other isn't.

How so??

Remedial Skills College?

How so??

College suggests the basics need working on. Back to school we go type stuff. Calling it an academy sounds simply more prestigious. Perhaps I'm on my own there, but if I was a player, that'd be my line of thinking.

Wait. When Neeld has football university that's a bad thing, but when Craig or pj has a development academy that's a good thing?

Neeld's University may have been biased towards too much theory and he literally bored them all to death with this carp instead of focussing enough time/effort on pounding the skills/drills side of things into them on the track ie., the practical/match similution vs upcoming opponent.

But as Old Dee said up there, we would want to be careful this doesn't go the same way. Most players are meat & 2 veg type blokes (Dawes a possible exception lol).... once you start complicating things beyond 2 +2 you lose em' fairly quickly i would think. I'm not saying they aren't intelligent either, just that they'd rather be on the track mostly, training it, rather than sittin on their arses in front of a 'white board' etc. Oops, i probably shouldn't use that term around here
