I know we've had our issues with Southampton over the last few years... Me as much as any considering where I currently live.
However they really have a great set up as a club at youth level and a great attitude to giving the players a chance at first team level.
Clubs like Southampton should be how we should model certainly our academy and general attitude to home grown talent.
I can't think of another club that get even close to producing the talent that they do through their youth set up. Crewe have a good go too but nothing like to Stains scale
