There is always a spin you can put on something

And maybe City were 82nd best at producing players with a F in their surname who were born within 200 yards of the training ground.
But the FAYC winning side produced SEVEN players who played for the NCFC first team. Did 80 other clubs better that?
And in 2016/17 the Academy was ranked 20th nationally for producing players who were playing in league football
While in PL-affiliated competitions in 2017/18 the U10s were 2nd (to Man C), the U11s were top 8, the U14s were semi-finalists and the U18s top 8.

Any Academy that recruited and was nurturing x2 Murphys, Godfrey, Cantwell, Aarons & Lewis is hardly a failure, is it?
