Oscar interview in tomorrow's Times

[The Birdman]

Kids with smaller balls and smaller pitches and shorter games. I've been calling for that for 50 years.

So has the rev, I been advocating more all weather pitches for training and playing for younger players however the cost of hire is to much. Seeing little kids trying to beat the grass and mud before the opposition no wonder we are struggling to develope the skills early.

To be fair he's saying pretty much what Poyet said about 'playing one way' etc and the way we teach kids in this country. Poyet only seemed to start getting frustrated and want things to move quicker with a bigger budget after a couple of seasons, so let's see what happens with Oscar. I agree that I'd rather we developed the club from grass roots up, but managers never get that sort of time anymore.

To be fair Oscar has had experience in implementing what he says regarding the youth setup.

Think making kids have smaller balls is a bit harsh!
