"His knack of finding youngsters...."
Any 12 year old paying Football Manager would recognise the first thing you do is look at the reserve and youth teams for gems, promote them, make some dosh by selling off over the hill, or less talented veterans and waiting until some real cash comes along whilst your talented kids get better and better.....it's the basic premise of 'building a team'.
O'Leary has been handed one of the most productive academies in the land and zero funds elsewhere....what else could he have done? Played himself?
