Development Centre Suspended

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.

Why does the letter state PNE Academy staff will be reviewing the Development Centre in the summer, if the Trust is independent of the club and this has nothing to do with PNE?

What makes it a comms car crash is when they seek to draw a line under it, but it only raises more questions.

Ridsdale using PNE's official media channels purely to cover his own arse again...

Hopefully this could be his third strike?

Indeed.

Rovers won the Premier League and played European football.

Thanks for highlighting that.

You've already waited 60 years, how much longer do you think it'll be before it clicks that maybe there's more to it than just dumb luck and "our time coming"?

Only commenting on the release of a communication which then has to be corrected and recovered soon after.

Out of top six of League 1, 5 have been in the Premier League.

I wager that all 6 of those are more likely to achieve Premier League status before ourselves.

I'm not sure it's arse-covering, just inept - they should just tell us why the bloody thing is shutting down and why the PNE Academy will apparently be reviewing it in the summer, not pretend they're issuing a politically sensitive statement where providing any useful information is a weakness to be avoided.

Don’t be a wankers all your life.
Try & enjoy supporting north end instead of fighting them .
I am sure it doesn’t help the players with all this negativity.

I took it to be The Riddler reading this thread and rapidly getting his "Nothing to do with me" out there.

With the exception of Barnsley they are all a lot bigger clubs than us with big support potentially.
Wouldn’t you agree.

I don't know what relevance that has. But I wouldn't say Plymouth are bigger, and Bolton aren't a lot biger.

Bolton and Sheffield Wednesday were in financial ruin not long ago and look set to rejoin us and no doubt fly past us.

Clinging onto little old Preston, we should be happy for where we are and we could end up being the next Bolton/Wigan whoever, is holding us back.

Yep, when we eventually go down we're going to struggle to get back up again, that's for sure. Lot of ambitious clubs down there who "believe it's their time" a lot more than our owners do.

What have our owners been building in the meantime to insulate us against that, I wonder? To give us a competitive edge?

Or do the owners just shrug every year and say "it's not our time" as yet another club overtakes us, like Brentford, and Brighton, and Bournemouth, and Millwall, and Luton?

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.

So winning 4 games at home all season in the Championship is better? Also if you believe what the Burnley fans say why would you want it get it better? It’s damned boring watching the same race to the middle every season in this league too.
 
If this club had deliberately set out, to do everything in its power, by hook Or by crook, leaving no stone unturned, to avoid the top flight, it could not have made a better job of it than what has been achieved!!!
It's fucking embarrassing!!!!
The whole running of the club is an amateur hour, full time shitshow of how a club should NOT be run!! They would not recognise a plan if it was delivered to their door in a massive pink box with blue and white ribbons and a flag stuck in the top saying infallible big football club success plan for beginners, instructions included !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Perhaps we should stop referring to Preston North End and rename this football club Hemmings United FC 2022. I certainly won’t be spending another penny on them until all this rabble have gone. They simply couldn’t give a toss about the club, the fans, the proud history, the supporters, the community or the city.
