Development Centre Suspended

JK said:
Sounds like a funding issue to me for CET.

I really feel for the young lads and parents in this.

Kids see the badge. They dont understand the politics behind it.

The fact Peter is trying to say it is nothing to do with the club is ridiculous. It may not have been their decision but its all about perception of how it looks.

Billionaire owners who won't pay a few grand to let kids play football.

We should now measure our success against Barrow, Fleetwood, Accrington and Morecambe? Get your head out of the clouds man. (The other 2 have been in the premier league despite being smaller towns.)

Your obsessed with the PL football we are bigger & better than Blackpool & Wigan both going into the wilderness for how long ?
I know lots of Burnley fans who have told me they would rather stay in the championship than see struggling PL football again.

Do you though?

Burnley played european football a few years back.

Now have a top class coach and excellent facilities (half turf moor aside).

Witnessing them ripping us a new one a few weeks ago hurt.

They are lightyears ahead of us.

I would swap posistions with them in a heartbeat.
 
PNECET only just published a positive-sounding financial report for the season just gone (hosted here on the PNE website, but at arm's length of course), when they had a £201k surplus for 2022 against £1.3m income.

Wonder what went wrong for them to cut one of their 2023 programmes early?

Interesting to note that the letter to disappointed parents in the OP says "Preston North End Academy staff will be reviewing the Development Centre in the close season".

That's not PNECET staff, that's PNE Academy staff.

Where on the letter does it say permanent ?
The letter says it’s all to be reviewed in the summer.
So let’s wait & see what happens .
There’s a lot of Championship clubs in serious trouble at the moment .
The 1st team is my priority & doing well in the championship.
But as usual you all jump in & hammer the club again.
No wants to buy us so our present owners is what we are stuck with until some one else steps up.
Seriously would any of you want to own pne ?
Who ever owns north end you lot would be on there back from day one .
Also seriously if this is all you have to WORRY about then I think you very lucky people.
Let’s get a grip ffs

Looks like Peter has been allowed access to the Wifi again.

What a load of patronising waffle.

"NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUB"

In fact here is the perfect opportunity for “PR disaster man” to salvage something from this sorry saga…….
Make it something to do with the club.
Stick a few quid in it Robert and keep it going to the end of the season. It’ll be peanuts compared to the amount of money you wasted when you were the self-proclaimed “Head of recruitment”.
Go on I dare you, do something that might even get some fans on your side!
……..No I thought not!

Rovers were lightyears ahead of us 1990s Wigan we’re early 2000 but things change very quickly in football what goes round comes round .
I really believe our time will come.
You have to believe this or you will end up with serious depression.
I have been waiting 60 years now You have a bit more time left than me JK 🤣🤣🤣

Your time doesn't come in football, as if it's all a lottery and everyone gets a win eventually - you either make it happen, or it never happens.

Thats what 20 + fanatic claret fans have told me & my north ends mates we all live in a clarets area have been told the same .They all say it was so boring the last few years going to matches knowing your going to lose .
A bit like us at deepdale this season
You have to keep believing things will get better & I am positive things will get better.

They’ll have to lose a lot of games to stay here 🤣 I presume there will be gloomy scenes round Turf Moor when they inevitably promoted ? What a load of nonsense.

So the decision was nothing to do with the club which runs its own academy. The trust is independent of the club and it is therefore not a cost cutting exercise by the club.
A lot of posters have jumped to the wrong negative conclusion by criticising the club without knowing the facts.
