Clint, I know we should treasure you as your time here is brief, what with you off to yentz and all, but what happens to your front line if Lukaku gets the recall to Chelsea and as often written about Odemwimgie gets the boot as well, that leaves you with Long and Fortune, not sure they've got the goals in them to keep you a float.
And the youth set ups aren't a waste of time and money, they should be the breeding ground for squad players, if they aren't good enough for you, you should be selling them onto others in your league or loaning them and then selling them to the lower leagues. Youth set ups when done right provide a way of playing, produce players that can do a job, and save you money in the long haul. Look at Villa despite their perilous situation towards the end of the season, pretty much the core of that team was hauled from the youth set up, same for southampton..
