http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/03/10/millwall-football-club-neutrals-starting-like-do-care/Forget the rest of the article. I'm talking about Academy players in the first team.
"In a league dominated by short-term deals and wandering journeymen, Millwall’s trust in continuity stands out. The average player has been at the club for four years. Academy graduates make up around a third of the squad, and Kavanagh says the eventual goal is to raise that to 50 per cent."

Where's the money in that? Nuts
And who's this,Kavanagh guy - he seems to know what he's doing.
Maybe there is a niche for a football club with a clear vision for football success but who is going to support that?
See separate pedantic thread.
Ours is to develop players, often bought from overseas, to be sold. Winning or losing games is irrelevant.
The other key difference is they have a competent CEO and staff capable of delivering the strategy, we have someone who can't be trusted to speak in public and can mess up a player of the year event she's not even meant to be involved in.
Millwall are run like a football club, Charlton like a cattle market.
can't wait.
