Basically he wants to rob young talent from other clubs

Not seen such Bravery!
Training academies are now graded. Category one being the best.
Category one academies are allowed to 'poach' young players from category two academies etc. ( unless the young player is on a full professional contract
).
So if we are category one, then we have a greater chance to sign players from further away, and the ones we have are protected from poaching.

A four-tier academy system – It is proposed that there will be four gradings of academies, with the highest rated academies being able to sign the best players and command the largest fees. Category 1 academies will have high contact time with young players, require a minimum of 18 full-time staff and an operational budget of £2.5 M.[4] Academies will be reviewed every two years and re-categorised if necessary. Categorisation is the result of an independent audit.

Three of the 12 clubs who have been audited by Premier League have failed to achieve the aim of leading Category One status in major funding blow
EXCLUSIVE
By Wayne Veysey | Chief Correspondent
Newcastle United, Blackburn Rovers and Crystal Palace
have suffered the blow of failing to achieve the top grade under the new four-tier Premier League system for youth development, Goal.com can reveal.
They were among the 23 clubs, 17 of whom were from last season’s top division and six from the Championship, who applied for the leading Category One status.
Twelve clubs have been inspected by the league’s independent standards organisation and the Professional Game Board has ratified the recommendations of the audit team.
Fulham, Southampton, Stoke City, Sunderland, West Ham and Wolves have taken the step of announcing in the last few days that they have been successful in achieving their Category One aim.
Goal.com understands that Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are the other newly accredited Category One clubs.
However, Newcastle, Blackburn and Palace are believed to have all been awarded Category Two status. This will have considerable financial consequences and inhibits the academies’ capacity to produce future first-team players to follow in the footsteps of star graduates like Andy Carroll, Steven Taylor, Phil Jones, Victor Moses and Nathaniel Clyne.
The Premier League maintains its audit of clubs is ongoing and it will not make any announcement until the remaining Category One applicants have been inspected. The process will recommence in September, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, Reading, Bolton Wanderers, Norwich, West Brom and Watford still to be audited.
Under the funding mechanism for the new system – called the Elite Player Performance Plan – each Category One club is projected to receive a minimum £775,000-a-year in Premier League funding from the youth development pot. Category Two clubs will receive a minimum £480,000, Category Three clubs £210,000 and Category Four clubs £100,000.
Each club is graded according to criteria such as facilities, productivity rates, coaching staff and funding, with a fixed tariff paid for players under 18 according to how much time has been invested in them.
Academies will be reviewed every two years and re-categorised if necessary.

Crystal Palace
This was written in 2012, that would mean Palace are due their review - wonder if they got their shit together?
Great article in Newcastle's The Mag that lists them.
Also, click on the article about Newcastle pulling out of the FA Cup. V funny.

And, more to the point, other clubs will not be able to raid us.
Good article,
As for Newcastle United? Well, last year Newcastle were given Category Two status which puts severe limitations on United’s ability to recruit young players from a wider area. It also unfortunately makes the club a less attractive proposition to promising kids in even our own catchment area, with the likes of Sunderland and Middlesbrough able to offer kids that top Academy status. If you’re a parent and really want to do the best for your son, where would you send them?
Be amazing if we get category 1 status

For us it would not just about "robbing" talent from other clubs it's making sure other clubs cannot rob us.
The way the football authorities have set up this system is yet another example of their cretinous behaviour aimed at destroying the poorer clubs. However with this magnificent facility it essential that we get category one status to make sure the talent it should generate gets swiped away from us by the bigger clubs.

It really is a horrible system, isn't it? But, I'd rather we were one of the big boys than one of the teams getting screwed.

Agreed. Sadly we have to become one of the bad guys to protect our investment. It does my head in at how much the FA want to make life even more difficult for those lower down the pyramid, whilst the tv billions just find their way into the already stuffed wallets of overpaid prima donnas.
I am not sure if thats correct.
There can still be movement of players to other academy's of different categories, the compensation rules within the EPPP actually made it a little easier.
For our part, the facilities and status make BHA a far greater enticement for any young player, to say we are category 1 offers an insight to that clubs commitment to player development and access to the necessary resources to help make that happen.
But as I understand it any young player can sign for whom he wishes and within certain conditions can then move again to any club he wants at any category.
