so why are Crewe a success then?

(surrounded by much bigger clubs)

I'd argue that Brentford were just looking to cut costs (new stadiuim on the horizon) and the Academy was an easy option.

I'll accept that the current Acad system is far from perfect, but if all the little clubs just gave up and turned into scavengers then things would be much, much worse.
