Related to the youth setup, what if you wanted to recruit youngsters from abroad from a specific location. How about you set up an outpost academy. Imagine being in charge of Barcelona and setting up a site near Millwall, or better yet, Millwall building facilities in Barcelona.

You could then receive a profile of which country produces what style of footballer. Of course, the UK would be good for the no-nonsense style defenders and Spain would have the more flair led players.

So you could gear your recruitment at the youth level to building the team you want. It could even be decided by your chairman who may prefer recruiting talented youngsters from their native country or where your sponsor has a market.
