[quote=Anonymous]I feel your frustration bro. However, a couple of opinions: - This initiative is probably highly funded by the Saudi government who is actively trying to wash money. We don’t have any entity willing to subsidize like that. Smart move for a big name that does not invest to try to compete with the big boys again. - It is much harder easier to set up academies in less educated territories than the US. Our less educated kids here in the US who would be ideal for an all or nothing academy are playing American football and basketball between 6-10, not soccer yet. - While I root for AC Milan every weekend with Pulisic in house, they are a far cry from a professional development outfit. This is no different than Athletico Madrid establishing an academy IMHO which I would not blink at. They would be best suited trying to develop players so their own national team can qualify for the World Cup versus this project.[/quote]
